GUARDS MISTRESS
Mrs. Clark Fisher of Trenton,
N. j.. Finds Bull Terrier In
valuable on Long Trip

Except where there were oceans TO
be crossed, Mrs. Clark Fisher, who arr
rived here yesterday on the liner Sibe4
ria, has made the journey from her
summer home on Lake Como Italy, in
big Iocomobile touring car Her
chauffeur was Harold Fisher Brooks,
distant relative, and accompanying
her was a maid, man servant and
Honk. Boston bull terrier. In India
a monkey was added to the entourage
and in Japan a pug dog.
The journey occupied two years and
the only hitch OF the "a months oc-
CURED yesterday, when Chief Board
ing Officer Charles stephens refused to
allow the dogs and monkey to land
because Mrs. Fisher had neglected to
secure health certificate for them
before leaving Yokohama.
PETS CAUSE TROUBLE
Mrs. Fisher stormed and even threat
ened. She refused to be separated
from her pets. Honk was native
born pup. the monkey her closest com
panion and the pug too cute for any
thing. Stephens remained obdurate to
her pleadings and only smiled when
she told him of the influence she had
in Washington.
"All right" she said. 81 will go
back on board the ship with my pets
and | Will never. never, never leave
unless they come ashore with me-"
The Pacific Mail company, however
was spared the burden of maintaining
a permanent boarder and menagerie
by the Intervention of Chief Quaran-
tine officer Trotter who said that he
had no objection to the pets being
landed. 1t transpired later that Mrs
Fisher had brought all her troubles
upon herself.
SECRECY MADE DIFFICULTY
She smuggled the pets on board
with her at Yokohama and kept their
presence in her stateroom a secret for
two days. If she had taken them on
board openly. say the federal officials
she would have been given a certifi-.
cate which would have insured their
landing here without question
Mrs. Fishers home in this country
is Trenton, n. J., and she expects TO
make the trip from here in her auto
mobile, which crossed the Pacific on
the deck of the Siberia.
by automobile She said. "is the
only way to travel We went through
France, Italy, Egypt, India, China and
Japan. We visited places in India
where no motor car had been before
We found many bad roads, the worst
in China, but had no trouble with the
natives in any part of the world and
did not have to spend one cent for re-
pairs to the car.
WORLD TO BE CIRCLED
Il shall stay at Trenton for a short
time and then cross the Atlantic and
motor to Lake Como, thus completing
my trip around the world Our best
friend on the trip was Honk Without
him we might have been molested, as
we camped in many out of the way
places.
''Honk stood guard at night and a
native would have been extraordinarily
clever to come within 10 feet of our
bungalow without Honk knowing ali
about it. He rather disgraced HIM
self in some of the Indian villages nv
chasing the chickens, but he worked
so hard taking care OF us that we
could not begrudge him a little diver
sion once in a while
Mrs. Fishers husband was an en-
gineer in the United States navy. He
died some years ago. She is wealthy
and spends most of her time when not
travelling at her home on Lake Como.
