PICKFORD DIVORCE
CREATING FURORE
GRAFT STORY SPREAD BY GARD
NERyILLE WOMAN CAUSES con-
STERNATION; ALL OFFICIALS
SAY SUIT MUST GO THROUGH

BY the intimation carried in press
dispatches the past day or two, and
sent out from news agencies, that
sums of money had been paid by one
of the parties directly connected with
the case a new element has been
injected in the Mary Pickford- Owen
Moore divorce proceedings, and al
though undoubtedly emanating from
pure gossip, it is so vicious, so far
reaching in its extent, and such re-
fection on the integrity of Nevada s
judiciary and county officers that it
has made all the more imperative
the general demand that the Pickford
matter be rigidly investigated and a
stop put to proceedings which permit
the possibility of the utterance and
circulation of such stories as the one
that has now become current.
Some of the statements which have
gained currency were contained in a
letter received by the editor of the
Carson City Daily Appeal from a re-
liable news agency in San Francisco
last Sunday, wherein was stated in
part:
I'm long distance call from Santa
Rosa our client there stated he had re-
ceiyed a copy of the Healdsburg Trib-
une of yesterday (April 2d) in which
it had printed letter written to Mrs
l.. Frey of Healdsburg by daughter
of Mrs. Frey, who lives at Gardner
vile, New. The name of the daughter
was not given
THE latter makes the charge that
Sheriff Nelson received $4,000 for
serving the papers on Owen Moore,
that the judge got $1,000 for calling
the special session of the court at
Minden. and that the Campbells, with
whom Mary lived, got $4,000 for taking
care of her.
"The charges are based on mere
rumor, and, of course, are very libel
GUS. We won't touch anything of the
kind. Mrs. Frey's daughter said that
this stuff is common gossip about
Douglas county and that it is also
freely predicted that the whole mat
ter will be hushed up and that the
state will drop its Investigations.
On the arrival in Carson Monday
morning of Judge Langan he was
shown the letter which had been re-
ceived, and to say that he was hor-
rified at its contents and that he was
righteously indignant at the utter
ance and publication of such unwar-
ranted and unjustifiable statements
but barely express his feelings.
Judge Langan, Immediately after
started for Gardnerville with the view
of seeking the author of the letter and
tracing the matter down to its very
roots. Arriving there he got in touch
with District Attorney Brockliss and
Sheriff Nelson and with the knowl-
edge of the name of the California
recipient of the lttle: it was little
trouble to find the daughter. who
proved to be Mrs. Sadie Brown,
well-known resident OF The valley
town.

told of the publication of the contents
of the letter written to her mother.
Mrs. Brown admitted being its author.

With men striking on both sides
there has been no evidence of a SYM
pathetic movement among the South
ern Pacific switchmen at Sparks, il
was stated by J. NJ. Fulton, the rail
road company's chief officer in this
state, to representative of the Reno
Gazette. The entire crew at Sparks
reported for duty yesterday morning
All west bound passenger trains
for San Francisco are now being
routed by way of Stockton. and no
west bound freight shipments that
have to pass through Sacramento are
being accepted by the company.
Embargoes were placed by trans
portation companies at other points
on perishable goods and similar
orders are expected to be issued al
Reno If, as railroad officials al
Reno believe. the strike is broken by
tomorrow the effect on local market
conditions in this state will not be
felt, to any great extent, but if the
strike continues. It is feared there
will be serious shortage in many
important commodities. as there will
be no goods received after shipments
now in transit arrive, for several days
after the movement of freight is re
sumed
The belief in railroad circles a
Reno that the strike will soon be
broken, is based on the ultimatum o
the brotherhood chiefs, who say thai
If the men do not return TO work
once. their places will be declares
open and this will mean the employ
ment of strikebreakers.

KAUAI PARADISE FOR TOURISTS

William Sellnader, general passen-
ger agent of the Matson Navigation
Co. visited Kauai last week for the
purpose of seeing what we have to
offer the tourist. He was taken in
hand by certain people who have the
welfare of the Island at heart, and
shown the Barking Sands, Spouting
Horn, the canyons, Hanalei district and
other places of interest. He was enthu-
siastic over what he saw and said the
Garden Islands scenic beauties were
one of the territorys greatest assets.
The only thing needed now is suitable
accommodations for the tourists while
they are on the Island.
Mr.. Sellander is managing editor of
the Matson Aloha" an illustrated
magazine of much beauty, devoted to
the beauties of Hawaii. While here he
arranged for illustrated Kauai articles
for the same.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS
TO kEALIA PLANTATION STORE

The Kealia Store has been under
going a campaign of thorough reno
vation, extension and improvement,
which has transformed it almost be-
yond recognition. The changes have
added very materially to the size of
the building and more still to the at
tractiveness and convenience of the
store. The alterations and extensions
will enable them to do fuller justice
to the really excellent stock which
they carry, and to serve their patrons
with that promptness and despatch
which is the aim of every up-to-date
public institution.
Manager Grote is certainly making
good and deserves the appreciation of
the purchasing public.
One of the improvements which will
be hailed with joy is the installation
of soda fountain where real, true-to.
goodness ice cream will be dispensed
Mr.. Grote believes the public will ap-
preciate real ice cream, even if it costs
a trifle more.

charming grace of color, and the re
sponsiveness of the Hawaiian temper
ment giving a no less charming grace
of vivacity and good fellowship.

AN EAST AFRICA SUGAR MAN

Mr.. c. Hornung, sugar planter of
the Zambesi River region, East Africa,
who is making a tour of the principal
sugar countries of the world, was on
Kauai last week looking over the sugar
interests and developments here.
He reports that East Africa is al
most hopelessly in the rear in sugar
cultivation and manufacture as compar-
ed with Hawaii. They have very poor
varieties of cane, slovenly, inefficient
methods of cultivation, and bungling,
wasteful ways of manufacture, so that
they got only about ton to the acre.
AS a result of what he has seen on
Hawaii and elsewhere, he is going
back to Africa to inaugurate a new
order of things.

kiNAU TOWS ANNIE e TO PORT
IN SINKING CONDITION

Last Thursday evening as the XII
nau was rounding Kaena Point a
sailing vessel was sighted showing
signs Of distress. Captain Gregory
changed his course so as to bring his
ship alongside the distressed vessel
and found it was the Annie E, and that
she was in an almost sinking condi-
ton on account Of having sprung a
leak.
The crew of the vessel had been at
the pumps until they were almost ex'
hausted, and it is said, they could not
have remained afioat much longer.
Although handicapped on account OF
having no deck hands, Captain Gregory
maneuvered his vessel alongside the
stricken ship and succeeded in getting
his lines aboard and towed her back
to the entrance of Honolulu harbor

"Creen Stocking"
Record Dramatic
Success Of Kauai

The high tide Of dramatic enterprise
for Lihue was certainly attained last
Saturday night in the presentation of
Green Stockings" at the Tip Top the
atre
The play is an ambitious one, of
more than usual interest and quality,
depicting English life and character,
and turning on the old English custom
which requires green stockings for the
old maid daughter, who does not get
married in her proper turn.
The heroine of the play, Celia Fara-
day, aged 2S, the wearer of the green
stockings, was Florence Paine, who
played difficult part remarkably we'll,
in fact brilliantly. The transforma-
ton of the sane, sensible, practical
girl who is the mainstay of the house
hold, into the gracious and attractive
society woman of the second half of
the play, was very we'll done.
The two married daughters, Madge
and Evelyn, home on visit, were
taken by Madeline Soule and Dorothy
Gooch. BY their intelligent grasp Of
the situation, their personal charm,
and their becoming costumes, they
gave artistic grace and finish to the
scene.
AS Phyllis Faraday, the youngest
daughter, Mrs. Sam Carter did the
frivolous and thoughtless, but beauti-
full girl with fine comprehension and
an easy grace.
Grace Haskell as Aunt Ida, render
ed difficult part with such complete
sympathy and understanding, as made
her one of the most interesting char
acters in the play
Karle B. Morgan, as the hypotheti-
cal hero who suddenly appears on the
scene in real life, played his part with
the insight and ease of an experienced
actor. With singular adroitness he
overcomes the heroines objections and
finally wins her in spite Of herself
c. M. v. Forster, as the pompous and
imperious English father, very much
the master in his own home, was won
derfully we'll done. To realize how
fine was his acting one needs to know
how kindly and courteous he is in real
life, and how much he had to put on.
Admiral Brice, retired was taken by
H. M. Aldrich, who did the part very
WELL and whose diction was particu-
| larly clear and forcible.
w. F. Horner, as Tarver, the aspir-
ing politician in love with Phyllis, was
the traditional English politician to a
| fine finish.
A. G. Hutton and ]. B. Corstophine
did the young society swells with that
fine perception that indicated that they
knew whereof they spoke.
J. o. Warner as Martin, the servant,
was obsequious and deferential as an
English servant should be.
Not by any means to be forgotten,
though not appearing on the stage, was
Lottie Jordan, the efficient property
woman and general factotum for every
thing that was wanted, or that had to
be done.
Karle B. Morgan deserves much
credit for the training of the players
and for holding things together and
keeping them going.
The receipts of the play were about
$4,000.
The performance will be repeated at
Waimea on the evening of Saturday
June 18th.
