HELEN ASHFORD'S
ROMANTIC MATCH

San Francisco Examiner, February
16.-A pretty romance of the Far
East was told yesterday when Emil
Schulze, hardwood lumber king of the
Orient, and his beautiful young bride
arrived from Hongkong on the liner
Shinyo Maru
The affair began Two years ago
when Schulze met Miss Helen Ash
ford, daughter of a prominent Homo
lulu family, while she was visiting
friends in the Far East Just before
the steamer sailed from Hongkong
Schulze and Miss Ashford were hur-
riedly married and took passage to
this city.
Just previous to her visit to Japan,
where she met the lumber king, Miss
Ashford had completed her education
at Berkeley, and when the hardwood
lumber operator proposed she de-
clared her intention to remain single
for a long time to come.
When she returned to her parents
at Honolulu she found that her per-
sistent admirer had not given up
hope, for scarcely a mail arrived from
the Orient that did not contain a
communication from Schulze. At
times, when the steamer proved slow,
long cablegrams were forthcoming.
Several weeks ago the Honolulu
belle sailed for the Orient to make
another visit, and again there was a
proposal This time the answer was
yes. AS Schulze found a trip to this
country absolutely necessary at this
time, it was decided to combine bust
ness and pleasure by making the trip
a honeymoon.
c. w. Ashford, the Honolulu attor
ney and father of the bride, sailed for
the Hawaiian port on the Wilhelmina
Wednesday When Mrs. Schulze
learned this she was disappointed, fol
she had hoped to meet her father and
introduce him to his son-in-law before
the steamer sailed.

MAN WANTED
FOR MURDER

The return fthe Sierra this morn
ing renewed the interest in the search
for a quartermaster that was on her
on her last trip. This man is wanted
on a charge of murder. He is said
to have committed a murder in san
Francisco after he had rendered the
girl insensible with chloroform pur.
chased in Honolulu He got away
very cleverly from the San francisco
detectives.
The man who is saiu TO have com
mitted the murder was said TO be
named Hansen. That was one of the
names he went by, for he is said to
have mad many aliases. He was on
the Sierra as quartermaster, and, as
the vessel locked, a detective asked
him where was Quartermaster Han.
sen. He said that he was forward
talking to an officer. The detective
asked him whether he would 90 up
and tell him that he was wanted on
the dock The quartermaster oblig-
ingly said that he would, and started
up the deck, but he slipped off to his
quarters, changed his coat and hat
and sneaked down the aft gangway.
Since then detectives have been
searching for him, but without sue
cess. They searched the Cleveland
pretty thoroughly, but no one answer
ing his description could be found,
and the vessel went out without the
local men being rewarded for their
efforts. A sharp lookout is being
kept on all the boats, but, of course,
it was not expected that he would be
in the Sierra this morning.

JAPANESE Y. N. c. A.
BEING REVIVED

The first steps in the reorganization
of the Japanese Y. NJ. c. A. Of Homo
lulu were taken yesterday in a con
ference at the Y. NJ c. A. building
Frank Scudder of the Hawaiian Board
OF Missions, President Okumura of
the Japanese Y. NJ. c. A., General
Secretary Paul Super and local JapG-
nese ministers were present to discuss
the work which Secretary Matsuzawa,
recently of Japan, will take up in this
city, and to talk over the local pros
poets.
Secretary Matsuzawa, who has been
studying local conditions since his ar
rival here, reported that he found the
sentiment in favor of the establish
ment of a permanent Japanese Y. NJ.
c. A. very strong in the Japanese
colony and also that the japanese
press had taken very kindly to the
idea. President Okumura confirmed
this report and added that an associa-
tion was much needed and would be
of great service among the Japanese.
It was decided to call a meeting
shortly at which the 300 members of
the Japanese association will be call
ed together to reorganize and sign
the constitution. This organization
will be along the same general lines
as the city association, Each organ
ization viii have its own board of
directors but they will be united by
having the same board of trustees.
Paul Super will remain the secretary
of the city anC will cooperate with
Secretary Matsuzawa, of the japanese
branch, in his work.
The Japanese churches in Honolulu
have a number of educational enter
prises on hand at the present time
and the new Y. NJ. c. A will relieve
them of large portion of this work.
Secretary Matsuzawa will shortly
appoint a committee to find suitable
headquarters for the recognized as
sociation.
