Japanese Wed I'd American
On SCentleman's Agreement

A "sacred gentleman's agreement"
figures in the Surrogates' Court pro-
ceedings brought by Mrs. Mabel Doris
Isaacsen, of Meadow Park, l.. l., d.
vorced wife of the late Hydesaburo
Ohashi, a Japanese manufacturer, to
GUST his widow, Mrs. Marie Voigt
Ohashi, as administrative of his estate.
Mrs. Isaacsen claims the estate of her
ex-husband for Allen Kyso Ohashi. son
Of her union with the Japanese.
Mrs. Isaacsen relates that the second
wife was married to Mr.. Ohashi by a
justice of the peace in Englewood, N.
j.; that few days before a subsequent
ceremonial marriage they entered into
the alleged compact under which each
agreed that the second marriage should
be annulled. Mrs. Isaacsen alleges
that the ceremonial marriage was
"sham" and "pretense."
Mrs. Ohashi admitted the existence
of the Sacred gentleman's agreement"
and explained that it was prepared by
her husband because Of the outcome
of his unfortunate marriage to Mrs.
1saacsen, who obtained a divorce.
Mrs. Ohashi said that several days
before she married the Japanese mer-
chant he told her Of his unhappy ex-
perlence as the husband of Mrs. Isaac
sen. He is quoted as saying he was
convinced that the Japanese were dis
liked by the Americans and felt they
could not get fair trial in the courts
here. Mr.. Ohashi expressed the opinion

not deem it to be best for the city's
interest to proceed along the line Of
the Mayors suggestion.
Mayor Hylan still insisted that the
public ought to know something about
the truth of this thing. He SAID if the
letters contained falsehoods the only
way tho public would know it was
through public Investigate
The Mayor declared that the wrong
inference would continue in the public
mind until the public investigation was
had. Mr.. Steinbrink said he thought
the public was sufficiently intelligent
to suspend judgment in any such mat
ter until they had heard both sides of
1t. When the Mayor further insisted
upon a public investigation erst MIR.

the Mayor fell into error.

may be, the opportunity of either pre-

Mayor Hylan then declared he had
another reason for wanting the public

commissioner had been derelict in his
duty to take summary action in regard
to such q commissioner Mr.. Stein
brink suggested that the Mayor could

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest

The Japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart.
ment of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections OF
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained q foothold, and they are ex.
pected to aid greatly in the control OF
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan Is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is specialist In this kind of work. II
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years While something is known of
the parasites of the japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon 1t. The beetle reached this
country with importatfons Of green
house plants. and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

TN A SEASON that offers so much
i diversity in styles as we find this
spring, women have all sorts of OPP
portunity to please themselves, AMI
therefore individua!ism has marked
this time for its own. So many peri
DDS and so many lands have been
drawn upon for inspirations But they
are only inspirations that lend flavor
more or less strong to the various
styles Of today.
Naturally, in this case. the silhou-
cite swings all the way between very
wide hip lines and the straight up-and-
down figure. as may be gathered from
the illustration of two afternoon
frocks which appear here. One of
these frocks is made of blue taffeta
silk with a few small embroidered mo-
tifs emphasizing it's style features. In
the cascaded pannier drapery at each
side of the skirt supporting wires
co, ded edges and the texture Of the
silk insure wide hip effect without
compelling the use of much silk. :
little embroidery appears on this side
drapery and on the front Of the plain
but odd over-bodice., There is long
apron drapery over the front of the
skirt, and the back drapery is trif1e
shorter. AS silk Is still very high. I
is worth noting that drop skirts are
made Of a cheaper material. having a
deep border of silk at the bottom. and
this is the case in the frock pictured.
Dark blue and black taffetas were new
er better style than this season. and
designers have fairly surpassed them
selves in making beautiful afternoon
