JAPANESE IN BRAZIL
(Detroit Free Press)

tDetrOit Free PreSS)
 It is natural that the influx of Japanese Iaborers into Brazil and other South American countries should attract some uneasy attention from the state department in Wash ington particularly since so far as Brazil is concerned immigration is en- outraged by both Rio Janeiro and Tokio.
 The movement. however. is dis tinctly outside the proper sphere of influence of the United States and it will be the part of wisdom in the national capital to ignore it com pletely and to turn it's attention to matters more pressing. It may bt within the province of the national government to mix into the matter of Japanese immigration into the United Statts, but it has no concerT whatever to do with the attitude ot ether sovereign states toward tho subject.

"Stop Thief"

Stop Thief is from the pen of Carlyle Moore, and the story he tells has to do with two people who. imagining themselves kleptomaniacs are continually obsessed with the fear of being found out. Neither of them is aware of the others irresistible in clination to steal. to check which a detective is engaged to watch over them
 The detective fails to show up, but a real burglar, smuggled into the house by a new maid. does and he is immediately accepted by the klep- tomaniacs as the sleuth who is to guard their actions
 Under these favorable conditions 1 the thief proceeds to loot the place 1 without fear of arrest" 1 It is around this rather unique idea | that the author has woven his play

 man exercising his nefarious calling while two members of the home that 1 is being dismantled imagine thaf

100000 BUGS
ARRIVE To EAT
PLANT PARASITE
They Are Brought to the Refrig-
GRAFTON Congress on Ice, but
Will Be Revived.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Four millions
Of visitors came to Chicago in the
most unobtrusive manner possible to
attend the International Congress and
Exposition of Refrigeration at the
Stockyards Anphitheater. Despite
their numbers, few Of the 1000 dele
gates from all parts of the world who
are here to discuss and reveal the icy
marvels of refrigeration even knew Of
their presence.
The visitors held themselves in an
icy reserve for the very good reason
that they were frozen. They were all
members of the ladybug family, and
they came here in two crates from
Southern California, where they have
been industriously destroying the
aphis, or green plant louise, that at
fiicts plant life in that region.
To-day the ladybugs are expected
to come to life and betray the same
appetite for their favorite dish Of
aphis bugs that they did in their ma
two thirds OF the continent in frozen
state will not inconvenience them in

done had they not been as rigid aul

The ladybugs are the property of F.

Mrs Charlotte Rhodus is organizing

GIVESOUTSIDER
100000 To
FAN OLD FEUD.
Contest To Be Started to Break
Will of Julia Garrett, PennsyI-
vania's Richest Woman.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-A con-
test will be made to break the will of
Julia Garrett, leaving 100000 of
her 100000 estate to her financial
adviser, Isaac T. Starr.
Enmity handed down from genera
ton to generation for more than 1875
years found expression in the will of
the last member of the distinguished
Garrett family, who died in Villa
nova several weeks ago.
She cut off from participation mem
bers of the Dunn family, cousins, be-
cause the Dunns' forebears looked
with contempt upon John Garrett,
from whom she was descended, when
he started in an humble way the
manufacture Of snuff 131 years ago.
Enmity lie Remembered.
When his business, begun on a
capital of 800 in New Castle County,
Delaware, expanded and he became
wealthy, Garrett remembered the at
titude of the Dunns. Succeeding gem
erations kept the enmity alive, and
of the great fortune that grew from
the original capital of 500 the Dunns,
unless proceedings to break the win
are successful, will receive an amount
so slight comparatively as to be al
most negligible.
This amount will come to them
through a personal liking of Miss
Garrett for a woman who married
f,,Ng 10 90
S25,0O0 to Mrs. Dunn, mother of
George Garrett Dunn, a millionaire
banker. AS Mrs. Dunn is dead the
money will revert to her children.
While it had been supposed that
the will of Miss Garrett was filed
in Norristown, II is now known that
1t was filed with the Register of
Wills in this city on Friday, Septem-
Der 5.
27 Requests Made.
There are 27 requests in the docu-
ment, and, according to a man who
saw the will, the money left to others
besides Mr.. Starr totals less than
81, 900, 900.
Among the requests are: The Or
thopedic Hospital, s75, 1000; the Bryn
Mawr Hospital, $4,000; to four serv-
ants, $4,000 each; to relatives other
than the Dunns. $500, 900.
Mr.. Starr, who for many years had
been legal adviser to Miss Garrett.
whose town house was at No, S24
Pine street, has benefited to a large
extent through his connection with
the Garrett family.
When Miss Elizabeth Garrett, Sis
ter of Miss Julia, died ten years ago,
she bequeathed to him 100000.
When William T.. Garrett, Jr., a
brother, died fourteen years ago,
Starr was named as EXECUTOR of the
will. His fees and commissions, it
was declared, amounted to $40 000
The snuff business, from which the
CARROTS made their enormous for
tune, passed from the hands of the
Garrett family in 1900. 1t was sold
to the American Snuff Company for
approximately $4,000, 600. Four years
later the American Snuff Company
was absorbed by the American To-
bacco Company.
The CARROTS were noted for their
benefactions. They took special in
terest in the Pennsylvania Hospital
and made liberal contributions to it.

BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM
EACH FORGOT HER NAME

VANCOUVER, WASH, Sept. IL
Though the bride and bridegroom to-
be were asked for the name of the
bride, neither could think of it to-day,
when Lew 10y and Kim Yung were
securing their marriage license, with
Wong Duck, of No. Sc First street,
Portland, as witness.
What is your name@ asked
Charles Kirch, Deputy County Audi
tor, of Miss Yung, clad in American
clothes.
Il don't know" she admitted, what
it is in United States"
DO you know what the lady's
name is?" asked the Auditor, turning
to Lew 10y.
NO, I don't know now; give me
little time; III think about it then"
After few minutes he recalled that
the young woman he was to marry
answered very well to the name Of
Kim Yung, and this was written in
the legal papers.
