PICTURE BRIDES
JAPANESE SYSTEM USED DE-
CLARED TO BE CONSTANT
AND GROWING EVIL.

San Francisco, March "a grad
ual increase in the number of Japa-
nese picture brides" entering the
United States through the port of San
Francisco was shown in statistics OF
the California state board of health,
and made public by George ID. Leslie,
director of the bureau. Interest in
the situation was aroused by a state
ment recently made by Representa-
tive John l.. Burnett, chairman of
the national house immigration com
mittee that the picture brides" sell
dom marry and constitute a growing
evil. III. Yamasaki. acting consul
general at San Francisco, and other
prominent Japanese, presented an
other aspect of the custom. which
briefly defined. is the registration in
Japan of a marriage in which the
bridegroom is in the United States
awaiting his bride. She comes, armed
with his photograph, and they meet
at the immigration station. Another
marriage in the presence of an immi-
grafton service inspector Is required
before they go away.
From my personal observation
should say these marriages have
proved satisfactory" said Mr.. Yam
asaki. 1T is safe to say nom OF
them Is merely fictitious and used to
bring a woman into the United States
for immoral purposes. | believe the
picture marriage is justifiable I'M
der present circumstances. The par
ents and relatives, or the friends, of
the young mar and woman contem-
plating a marriage take great pains
to inquire into the education, pres
tige, social standing and physical
conditions Of the man and woman be-
fore they make definite arrangements
for a wedding"
The record of Japanese weddings
in the state, most of which are cele-
brated In S~anFrancisco and are pie
ture weddings" is as follows: 1915.
907: 1914. SS7; 1913 (year of the
alien land agitation), us; 1912,
906; 1911, $50.

PRIMARY Law
DECISION IN RICHARDS CASE
CLEARS UP THE SIT
UATION.

Pierre, March 9.-The decision of
the United States supreme court In
dismissing the Richards primary APP
peal ease means that the law enacted
by the last Legislature and amended
by the special session will be the one
in use at the primary this year.
Mr.. Richards, while in this city a
few days ago, said that such action on
the part of the United States court,
while not anticipated by him. would
mean that the filings OF the list of
candidates selected as the action OF
the minority proposal committee
would be made under the law, and
that he would make his campaign TO
a large extent upon the issue of rein
statement of the new primary act
which he placed before the people
through the initiative last year, which
is an amendment to the original act
which was placed upon the statute
through the action of the people and
repealed by the last legislature. He
said that while most of the selections
presented TO the secretary of state by
him the first of this month would 60
through the campaign for primary
nominations, Ii was possible that
some Of these men would not care to
90 to the time, trouble and expense
Of such a campaign, but that most of
them would be on the list of candi-
dates filed under the individual can
didate provisions of the present law.
This action on the part of the SUI
preme court Of the United States
leaves the manner of making nomina-
tons clear unless someone should yet
attempt to refer the action Of the spe-
cial session, and i'm such case the
whole detail of the selection of pri-
mary candidates would be under the
provisions of the act of 1915, and the
selection of delegates to the national
republican convention would need be
under the Burke plan" as there
would be no other method open save
that of a special election i'm April.
As the provisions of law are vague
there would have to be considerable
straining of language to make the
different parts fit such a case.
Beginning today names can be le-
gally secured on petitions for nomina-
tions of candidates for state offices.
for either a May or June primary, and
from this time On the petitions of
the various candidates will be circu-
lated for filling in time for either
date. and 1t will not be many days
until the petitions are showing up in
the office of the secretary of state.

SALOON
Mitchell lis Assured of Hot Fight
Over Saloons.

Mitchell, March 9.-The usual bit
ter fight will be waged in Mitchell
this spring over the wet" and dry
issue. This has been assured by the
reorganization and perfection OF
plans of the temperance forces in an
effort to prevent restoration of sa-
looms.
One of the strongest arguments to
be used by the dry" forces Is the po-
lice record during the past eight
months as compared with the same
period of the previous year. In The
eight months from July, 1914, to
February, 1915, in which Mitchell
was wet" there were $50 arrests OF
which 1913 were for drunkenness. In
the corresponding period, a year later
under the dry" regime, there were
219 arrests, of which I16 were for
drunkenness.
Out of the lie arrests for drunk
enness during the past eight months,
Investigation shows only twelve OBJ
tanned the intoxicating liquor in
Mitchell, the other supplies coming
from nearby wet" towns.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Especial.
Driving hard against the French line
northwest and southeast of Verdun,
the Germans have been enabled to
make additional gains toward Yer
dun, but with extremely heavy cas-
u~alties. according to Paris Hill No.
265 to the southeast and a portion of
Corbeaux wood. directly south of
FORCES, have been occupied by the
Germans, through strong infantry at
tacks that were preceded by ex-
tremely heavy bombardments. The
town Of F~resnes in the Woevre also
has been captured.
The German attack was over the
entire front west of the Meuse, ex-
tending from B~ethincourt to the river
but except in the CorbeauX hill and
at Hill No. 265, the French held back
the attackers at all points. Thus, the
French still occupy the important
strategic position on the heights Of
the Cote de Ole, for the possession of
which numerous %sanguinary engage
ments have been fought. The occu-
patton of a portion of the CorbeauX
wood would indicate that the Ger
mans have advanced over three miles
since they took the town of FORCES.
The Germans succeeded in pene-
trating a French redoubt in the re-
gion of Douaumont, but We're thrown
out Immediately in a counter attack.
The %recapture by the Germans of
a position from the French in Cham
payne, the pushing of the German
line farther forward in the Argonne
forest and the expulsion of small
British attachments from captured
German trenches northeast Of Yer
melles are related in the latest Ger
mar official reports. The British are
defending the famous H~ohenzollern
redoubt position against German
bombing attacks.
In the British house of commons
Col. Winston Churchill, former first
lord of the admiralty, has taken is
sue with A. j. Balfour, the present
first lord of the admiralty, and
charged that the admiralty lacks
driving power and needs more vital
ity. Col. Churchill came direct from
the trenches to sound a note OF warn
ing. He predicted that since the out
break of the wal the German navy
would be found to have been greatly
augmented and he expressed the
hope that the British program of con-
struction had been carried out TO the
full requirement. He clearly init
mated, however. that it had not been.
Col. Churchill also urged the re-
appointment of Baron Fisher to the
admiralty TO ~revitalize and animate
that department.
Despite the report from Rome that
twenty German dreadnaughts have
come into the North sea from their
base at Kiel, and other reports which
seemed to presage the imminence of a
naval battle, nothing definite has
come through TO show that German
warships are out maneuvering or
seeking battle.
