not set properly, however. and. instead

FRIEND TOOK HIS
WIFE. SAYS KANNO
japanese Poet Names
Painter Countrynun.

Takeshi Kanno, a Samurai poet and
q protege of Joaquin Miller. took the
stand before Justice Greenbaum. in Su-
preme Court yesterday, and with the
Unconditional stoicism Of the caste told
OF alleged unfaithfulness of his wife,
Gertrude Boyle Kanno, which resulted
in the wrecking of a romance which
had it's beginning on the Pacific Coast
and was, at the time OF its inception,
the topic Of International discussion.
Mrs. Kanno Is a sculptress. Named
as correspondent Is Yeitaro Ishigaki. a
youthful poet and painter who had been
under Ramos tutelage in California
No defence was offered and Justice
Greenbaum reserved decision.
In 1908 the poet Kanno made the
acquaintance OF Gertrude Boyle, who
was coming to the fore in art circles.
They met at the home of Joaquin Miller,
and soon afterward their engagement
was announced The family Of Miss
Boyle invoked the California law pro-
hibiting the marriage between members
of the white and yellow races, but the
couple went to Seattle, where the cere-
mony was performed. The affair won
considerable notoriety for the parties
concerned. not only in the United States.
but in Europe and the Far East.
Trouble between the two started when
Yeitaro Ishigaki was introduced into the
household. Kanno said yesterday that
he was sorry for the young man on ac-
| count of his loneliness and befriended
him for that reason. Following the diff
ferences between Kanno and his white
wife, the latter came to New York and
took up a studio in Greenwich Village.
There she was Joined by Kanno's
protege, and. according to evidence sub
mitted to the court, the two lived to-
gether. Several Greenwich Villagers
testified to visiting the defendant at her
apartments at 246 West Fourteenth
street. Justice Greenbaum scored two
young women witnesses. who said they
visited Mrs Kauno on frequent 90
casioUa
| Kanno declared he held no Ill will
against his wife and merely wanted &c
free her so that she could live her owr
life in any way she saw At. while he
would be set at liberty TO do likewise
He lives at 402 West Fourteenth street
a short distance from where his wife
maintained a studio.

INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF
MEN WHO FOUGHT IN
WAR TO BE COMPILED

I Washington, Nov. 1.-Major Cen
!eral Pete c.. Harris, the adjutant
general of the army, has put a large
part of his Office force to work on a
compilation of the records Of the in
idiyidual men who served in the war
with Germany. These records, which
will cover South Carolina and other
states, are to be furnished eventually
to the state adjutant generals and
will be distributed by these local Of
ficials to the counties and municipal
i,ities.
Thus the part Georgia played in
the war and the records of her citi-
zens, who fought for democracy will
become matter Of permanent rec
ord in the archives Of the national
and state governments. =. -.
| Adjutant General Harris, who is a
native Georgian, will use several
thousand clerks in the compilation Of
these records for the entire country.
He has placed force Of a thousand
clerks at the preliminary work, and
as soon as the rehabilitation Of the
army permits, will add $500 to con-
stitute the working force. On account
of the adoption of the individual
cards for. the men and the acquire
ment' of modern appliances and me-
thods, this body will be ready to de-
liver to the state adjutant generals
in year what it took force Of 800
clerks: thirty years to accomplish for
about one-hah the number Of. men in

SAY GOVERNMENT WAS
DEFRAUDED OF GIGANTIC
SUMS AT CAMP SHERMAN

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 2.-As-
founded by the mass of evidence
tending TO- show that the government
had been defrauded Of thousands,
if not several millions of dollars, in
the construction of Camp Sherman,
Congressman Lewis C. Mckenzie,
of Illinois, chairman Of the sub-con-
gressionat committee which is in.
vestigating the camps construction,
declared tonight that he would in.
troduce bill in congress making it
treason to defraud the government
in time of war.
Chairman Mckenzie said he was
certain, before entering upon the
inquiry, that the. government had
been defrauded in the construction
of contonments, but that he never
expected to reach. such gigantic pro-
portions as are indicated by testi-
mony given before the committee
here.
;, Fifty Chicago professional crap
shooters obtained positions as plum.
'bers at Camp Sherman and were
paid regular plumbers wages OF
1926 per day, though they spent all
their time Trolling the bones," Ber
NJ. Clark, time-kkeeper at Camp
Sherman testified. These crap shoot.
ers made as much as 500 per day
at their profession. Clark said they
never worked at plumbing a day.

DEALERS; MAY BUY
SUGAR WHEREVER
~ THEY CAN FIND IT

Washington, Nov. 2.-The impress
sion that he sugar equalization board
or any other governmental agency
would interfere with the purchase Of
sugar in any part Of the rountryf for
shipment to any. other section is en-
tirely a mistake. It was a natural er-
tror growing outaof the fact that dur
ing the time the equalization board
owned all the sugar in the country,
lit observed rule against shipping
from one zone or section to another
In the western zone the dealers and
refiners were confined to western
beet sugar, the eastern zone to Gu
ban sugar and the southern zone to
the Louisiana supply and part Of
the Cuban sugar. -
Investigation today by Senator
Hoke Smith, for the wholesale and
retail dealers and brokers Of At
lanta, develops the fact that. there is
no restriction of that nature at the
present time. Atlanta, Savannah,
Macon or other Georgia merchants
may buy sugar in any market, scrth-
east or west. 1t appears to be q fact
that northern refiners are paying
20 cents or more for the Louisiana
sugar. Unless the food administration
is revived and continued in authority
as has been recommended this week
by the attorney general. sugar prices
may go very high.

property owners who have been as

whether they will pay all the assess
ment or make payment in ten equal
installments. If the latter method is
chosen, the first installment must be
paid Thursday. Many taxpayers are
taking advantage of the privilege of

November
FINISH FIGHT" IN
COAL STRIKE PLAN
.f OF GOVERNMENT

Washington, Nov. Its finish
fight.
Coal is the circumstance but not
the issue. Back Of the threat to para
lize industry and. iithhald the naa
tion's fuel. supply at its source is a
principle. of, respect for the laws Of
the United States and the courts. The
government has determined to dem,
onstrate that. the constitution Of the
United States is more vital than the
constitution Of miners convention.
Injunctions to restrain the miners
from carrying ont their strike orders
are being sought by the department
of justice from the federal courts.
Failure to obey such injuHctions will
place individual leaders Of the miners
in contempt Of court. The record in
contempt cases is a confusing one.
Eugene Debs served time for con-
tempt and Samuel Gompers fonght<it
out in the courts through conviction
after conviction and the court Of the
United States finally sustained him
and other labor officials. But that
merely was over the printing Of an
article reflecting on the courts. Any
action by miners disobeying a federal
court order enjoinink them from do
ing specific things, whieh9are. in vio-
lation Of the law, win be- ret swith
prosecutions, and officials here have
little doubt that iinsY such ccircum-
stances they would hare no diiifliculty
in securing Jail sentences. =
But the government is making no
threats. It is awaiting the initiative
of the miners when they attempt to
carry out the strike order. There is
a disposition to refrain from whole
sale arrests, which might only IN
tensify the situation and prevent a.
conference between miners and op-
orators later.
II forced to do so, however, the,
government will 60 the limit. Any
power that the federal courts may
request to carry out its injunctions
will be promptly granted even if it
the use Of federal troops.
