countess STUART Oh GnSlanu.
London, Dec. 17.-Viscount Stuart,
son and heir of the sixth earl of
Castle Stewart, and Miss Eleanor
May Guggenheim, daughter of Solo

tives and intimate friends. The
bridesmaids were Misses Edith Mac

of the bride, and the best man was
Hugh Greer
The bride, who was given in mar
rage by her father, wore a gown of
the Charles Second period. 1t was
a hand woven, pearl white satin bro
-cade, embroidered with seed pearls
and diamonds, and had rose point
lace collar, an underskirt of cloth of
silver and long court train of the
same material. 1t was the bridal
gown of her mother, who was Miss
: Rothschild. The bridesmaids were
gowned in white satin yelled with
chiffon with sashes of crimson velvet,
and silver lake capes.
The wedding was one of the most
brilliant events of the London season.
During her several years of study in
England, the bride cultivated a wide
circle of friends, and she is declared
to be one of the most popular Ameri-
cans recently to enter the British peer
age. She and the viscount first met
at a social function in this city.
. The couple will spend their honey
moon in Spain.

anyway, and so the quickest possible
means is direct with the Motor Vehicle
Department offices by mail, as provis-

work
Motorists are advised to, figure out
accurately the amount they must send
in, counting which quarter they took
out their last years license. All auto

WON'T REGISTER
JAPANESE CITIZENS

Jan. 12-Harry w.
Hall. county clerk of Sacramento coun-
ty, has announced that he will not reg
lister any Japanese unless forced to do
so through mandamus proceedings.
Hall made known his stand after he
had received the registration certificate

County Clerk ID. NJ. Barnwell of Fres-
no.
Sato was admitted to citizenship by
court decree because he served in the
United States army during the late war
He is at present stationed at SchofieId
Barracks. H. T.
In explaining the reason for desiring
registration in Sacramento county, it is
stated in the certificate that Sato will
be necessarily and unavoidably absent
from the county during the days allow
ed for registration prior to election
Hall has sent the certificate back to
Sato, and in taking this action, said,
How do / know this Japanese is a cit
izen? His proof of citizenship must be
established to my satisfaction before
will register Sato. l am sending the
registration afiidavits to Sato for what
ever action he may take"
The state board of health has given
out the following table showing the
birth rate of Japanese in California, per
thousand since 1910.

those who have been six months but
less than a year in service will receive

ceive less than $3.50 will participate.
Manager Carmichael of the local of

ment and the association of Western

engages in the process of collective

is the latest of several general increas-

So far only one man has refused to

TRAVEL SD. "a.

Although the San Diego & Arizona
railway runs part of its course in Mex.
lean territory, it is to be considered an
Al-American line so far as the peace
time transportation of Uncle Sans sol
diers and sailors are concerned accord
ing to notification received yesterday
by General Manager ID. w. Pontius
from the army and navy departments.
The notice, which came from the Of
fees of the secretary of the army and
the secretary of the navy, directed that
tickets be sold to unarmed officers and
men in all branches of the service over
the San Diego & Arizona and Southern
Pacific lines between San Diego and
Yuma.
The order is considered unique in that
it permits soldiers and sailors to leave
the country while a state of war tech
nically exists, as will be the case until
the peace treaty with Germany is sign
ed. The custom is that special permis-
sion, on good grounds, must be received
in such cases.
Under the order permitting service
men to use the direct route from this
city to Yuma they may enter Mexican
territory several times. No special tic
ket guard or checking in is required of
the service men.
The official announcement covering
the situation, issued yesterday by Man
ager Pontius of the San Diego & Ari-
zona, said:
Local and interline tickets will be
sold to officers and men for use over
this line and also IA connection with the

abyss at least 140 feet below the

the imminent risk of dislOdging

those beneath. The belief is ex-
pressed that rains or new shocks
will mean death to those imperilled
