UNCLE SAM KEEPING STRICTEYE ON
DAINTY CELS4A PHOTOGRAPH GIRLS

SAN FRANCISCO, August l.
Nine dainty Geisha girls were
among the passengers on board the
big Japanese liner, Chiyo Maru,
when she locked at this port re-
Gently. Awaiting the maids at the
pier were nine Jaapnese from nine
different parts of the state, repre-
senting as many walks of life in
the MERCANTILE world.
Each of the nine Japanese as he
peered anxiously in the faces of the
steerage passengers as they passed
in single file down the gang plank
held photograph in his hand with
which he made careful comparison
with each of the passing throng.
AS he met the counterpart of the
picture among the hurrying thronS
there was an exchange greeting:
man and maid stopper out of the
crowd into a waiting automobile,
whispered orders were given and
the couple were whisked rapidly
away
Where?
Listen:
The nine Geisha maidens are
called Photograph Brides" The
nine men who met them at the
pier were those with whom they
had exchanged photographs. The
meeting at the dock was the first
time the brides and grooms to be
had ever seen each other, and their
destination was the home of the
Japanese priest. An hour after this
first meeting. High Priest Susu-
mata Amito Of the japanese temple
of this city had pronounced them
man and wife with all the cere-
monies attendant upon a japanese
wedding.
1t was a strange story told the at
taches of the immigration bureau,
by the girls who had crossed the
ocean to marry men whom they had
never seen. The custom is old,
they explained, and the details are
arranged by their parents who issue
their instructions. 1t is for the
maids but to obey.
Word comes from the United
States to Japan that certain num-
Der of men. well able to care for
wives, want to marry. Accompany
ing the letter comes request for
photographs. The pictures are for
waEded and if satisfactory, the
maidens sail to the far away land.
The men wait their coming, take
them to the nearest priest where
the ceremony is performed aud
they then journey to their respect
i've homes.
The story rings true. but the gov
eminent is ever suspicious of the
wiles of the oriental, and for that
reason a rigid investigation is now
under way to ascertain if the maid
ems are all they claim TO be and if
the wedding ceremony is in good
faith. They are. watchful lest the
women are being imported for i'm
moral purposes, and if it develops
that there is any foundation TO this
theory, back to Japan they must go

A FATAL QUARREL
BETWEEN COUPLE
(By United Press Leased Wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Mrs.
Ottilia Fraser is dying today, and
her husband, Joseph Fraser, so Sc
verely wounded that he may not
recover, as a result of a quarrel in
downtown hotel. Mrs. Fraser shot
her husband, inflicting two wounds.
She then tried to end her own life.
A threat on the part of her hus-
band to bring divorce suit is said
to have been the cause of the shoot
ing. Physicians today say the
woman cannot recover.

EARNED VACATION

COWES, Aug. Within a day
or two Queen Victoria of Spain
will arrive in the Isle of Wright, to
visit her relatives at Osborne Cot
tage. She needs rest badly. for
Madrid has been full of anxiety of
late for the Spanish royal family.
She will remain about month and
will be accompanied by her three
children. but unless the situation
clears in Spain, King Alfonso will
not be able to leave for Madrid be-
fore the end of the month.
Queen Victories visit is purely
private throughout, but she will
visit Windsor in order to lay a
wreath on the tomb of the late
King Edward and she will probably
spend a few days in her old home
in Kensington palace.

TWO RACING MEETS
AT RENO THIS SEASON

The directors and officers of the Ne
vada Jockey club met in the club Is
offices in the Overland hotel Thursday
evening and settled up all business for
last year. Plans were then discussed
for the holding of two racing meets IN
Reno this year. These meets will take
place before the new anti gambling law
goes into effect so that pools may be
sold at the track and so that the race
horse men may have an incentive to
come here.
It is proposed to have one meet early
this spring and another one in the fall
but before the time for the new law
to go into effect arrives.
The club was very successful last
year and all of the directors were paid
a dividend on their investment. This
year they intend to have races ever
better than those of last year and to
make the meets among the best ever
held in the west.-Gazette.

WESTERN PACIFIC
STILL A MYSTERY

AS the new year opens the Western
Pacific becomes a deeper and deeper
mystery in the railroad world, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. According to
information furnished by a high rail
road official in Salt Lake. in position
to know all the facts, the Southern Pa
ciic and the Western Pacific rave prac-
ticaliy completed arrangements where
by the Western Pacific shall have the
use of the most possible friendly terms,
of all of the Southern Pacific tracks,
sidetraeks, terminals and wharves in
middle and northern California. Fol
lowing out it's policy of silence toward
the press, the local headquarters of the
Western Pacific profess to know moth
ing of one of the most significant rail
road deals that has been known in Salt
Lake railroad circles for months, but
the matter has been a common topic
of conversation in the other offices for
some days.
"The idea is this SAID one promi-
nent local railroad man, "the Western
Pacific is to have the use of all the
Southern Pacific trackage in Califor-
mia, so as to save building new tracks
for the new road. But it also means
that the northern lines of the Southern
Pacific and the Western Pacific are
very liable to be operated as a double
track system, the trains going west on
one line and running east on another.
What this means in handling traffic
need not be explained. it is so plain.
"The deal was made between Harri-
man and Gould some time ago, and is
Just now coming to light because the
Western Pacific is just beginning to
do business. When the Wheeling and
Lake Erie short time notes came due
Gould could not raise the money to
meet them. He had to nave 81. 000, 900
at once and could not get it.. He was
turned down by every banking house
vapable of helping him in New York
city, and at last he went to see Har-
riman. The Wheeling and Lake Erie
is now in a receivers hands. by the
way, and Gould has lost the Western
Maryland.
chairman let Gould have the ST.
600, 900, which saved him from bank
ruptcy, but asked, How about the
Western Pacife9,. That was his nrice.
and the results are just coming to
light. Hartman had a long head.
cit is understood that Gould is
practically eliminated from the West
ern Pacific and has been for some time;
that Hill has the final say as to the
operating end of the road and that
IF the traffic department. The recent
underwriting of $4,000, 900 of Mis-
souri, Pacific bonds. and the Missouri
Pacific is the backbone of the Gould
lines. by Kuhn, Loeb & Co, the Harri-
man bankers, certainly bears this

The above information was confirmed
in three railroad offices last week in
~dependently of each other, but nc in
formation could be gained about it
from the Salt Lake offices of the West

Let's see: The company card has on
its face three comparatively large
lines, and six lines in smaller type:
on the back are "a lines, 81 ems wide.
in agate, the very smallest type used
in the very largest city newspapers.
However, at that, the eastern print
er made a good thing, from the
fact that, after being once set, the
form was stereotyped, and probably
hundreds of thousands of cards
printed, probably sixty-three at an
impression. According to crude
reckoning man working one single

be able to furnish them at tenth

did at the Herald office was t6'put in
