Hoy Hodson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

has lust arrived home after three
years thrilling experience in the
navy. He came direct home from
Japan where he has been for the
past three weeks administering TO
the Japanese sufferers. I'VE were in
China when the Quake occurred. and
we received orders from the admiral
to go at once to japan. we steamed

there the morning of the third day.
THE Steward" an American boat,
was the first to arrive in the city or
Yokohama, but the Japanese officials
would not allow the sailors TO go
aboard and turned their guns ON 1t.
Eight hours later we arrived with a
cargo of rice and other food stuffs.
No words can describe the terrible
scenes Of desolation," said the young
sailor. people were still fleeing
everywhere, panic stricken: build
ings were burning and the streets
were strewn with the dead and dy-
ing. In a short time Admiral p. A.
Anderson arrived on the Huron. He
took command and mobilized the Of
ficers and recruits on a military
basis and started to work. In our
fleet In the harbor were five Ameri-
can destroyers, The battleship,
Huron and a repair ship Blackhawk.
We went aboard, so many sailors
with an officer. We had strict orders
from the Japanese officials not to
carry cameras, or weapons OF any
kind. The Japanese did not want
us to handle their dead or dying.
They have a queer superstition re-
garding this. They seemed to resent
our coming and notwithstanding we
brought foods, clothing, tents, bed
come us in the least and after sun
down we were not allowed to leave
out ship or go into the city. Person

not give ten cents to help them.
They do not like Americans and even
showed it in such terrible time
as this and when one would think
they should be greatful. True it

for them,
"Our first mission was to hunt for
the wounded and dead Americans
and to get them to safety. 1t was
estimated that 100000 people were
killed and one could easily believe
it if they were there. For three days
and nights we worked digging and
removing the partly alive bodies
from the debris, it was horrifying.
and the fumes and doors were al
most unbearable at times.
"The Empress of Australia was in
the harbor at the time of the earth
quake, at a summer resort called
"Kakacure," which was hit with
tidal wave and destroyed, so they
lent us the ship. We carried our sicb

BRAKFY IS PUNCHED
OMAHA EMPLOYEE TAKEN
IN AT FAIRMONT
He Was Charged With Having IL
quor In His Possession: Gave
$500 Bond

Barney Zwirtz, brakeman on the
Omaha passenger trains Nos. z and
8, plying between Fairmont and
Minneapolis, is under $500 bonds TO
appear at the March term of dis
trict court on q charge of having IL
quor in his possession. Zwirtz was
arrested at eight p. m. Sunday at
the home Of his father near the
Omaha station, says The Fairmont
Sentinel. o.. -
SherinP Carver and Deputy ALI
son who raided the house, reported
that they found about gallon in
pint bottles.
Zwirtz made no effort to resist
arrest and after some persuasion
led the officers to where he had the
liquor stored in the basement. He
said his father had no connection
with the case.
Two other bottles of liquid were
found in the cellar. The sheriff
said they smelled like incense"
They were not taken.
When Carver and Allison arrived
there were two well known Fair
mont men In the. Zwirtz backyard.
The sheriff said he had been advis-
ed they were going to buy LIQUOR
from Zwirtz that evening. Sheriff
Carver was on the scene a little too
early and probably interrupted. the
liquor sale. He stopped the men
and kept them prisoner until the
house had been. searched. They
were released when they showed
that they had no liquor on them.
Officers Had Suspicious
The officers have been suspicious
Of Zwirtz for some time. Reports
came in, they said to the effect that
he has peddled liquor on the train,
but not until last night were the Of
fcers in possession Of information
definite enough to warrant action.
1t is believed that Zwirtz will make
no effort to deny the charge when
his case comes up. in March, as he
admitted the liquor was his own but
asked that he be permitted to stay
on his job as long as possible before
coming before the court to receive
sentence.
Zwirtz is married and has fam
lily in st. Paul.
