CARGO OF COFFINS
USED BY SMUGGLERS
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS FIND
CHINESE YOUTHS IN BOX
Elk CONSIGNED TO U. S.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-Immi-
grafton officers here expressed keen
interest today in the purported wide
spread conspiracy to smuggle Chinese
into the United States, which was I'M
covered last night at Honolulu with
the discovery of eleven Chinese pos
ing as dead men and hiding in as
many collins deep in one Of the holds
of the liner President Lincoln, which
is en- route to San Francisco from the
Orient.
Chinese Cargo.
The discovery grew out of infor-
nation received from the Orient by
A. f. Burnett, district director OF i'm
migration for Hawaii This informa-
ton, from special agents, said that
fifteen Chinese had been dispatched by
smuggling ring and Tong Nam, an
agent of, the conspirators, a Chinese
member OF the crew, was to receive
81, 100 for each of the aliens landed
safely ashore. The names OF the San
Francisco "consignees" were learned,
but Burnett refused to reveal them.
Burnett led a party OF six inspec-
tors through the vessel twice without
discovering any traces of the contra
band aliens Just as the federal Off
cials were about to abandon their
search one of their number, after hav-
ing climbed through tons Of ships

Taken Into Custody.
With this clue the officers opened
ten more collins, and each disclosed a
Chinese youth with his baggage. All
were taken into custody, with several
members of the crew believed to be
implicated in the alleged plot.
Director Burnett predicted that the
President Lincoln would be fined 81,
900 for each bootleg Chinese. He
added that it was ridiculous to be
lieve that only steward engineered
the smuggling, as the men in the cot
fms had been fed daily and the ship
had undergone thorough search be-
fore leaving the Orient"
He laid the conspiracy to higher
ups" aboard the ship.

COURT RECORDS SHOW 200
YEAR OLD MARITAL BRA WIS
Father and Moher-n-Law of Washngtons First Wife
Have Lively if Stormy, Married Life.

But instead OF following the road John
Gusts drove Straight into the bay off
the eastern shore When the water
covered the wheels and was beginning
to dampen the floor of the carriage the
nervousness of Frances got the better
of her stubborn dignity and she asked
her spouse where he was going. No
answer. But, having broken the bond
of silence she was determined to find
out, and pressed her inquiry.
Finally he Numbered forth, TO

At this the intrepid woman folded
her arms and calmly directed, Drive
on, Mr. Gusts"
Not Perfect Gentleman"
So runs the legend in Northampton
county Which of the two was most
to blame is a question. But that her
temper was inherited
rather than acquired may be supposed
from the stories about her father, the
dashing cavalier Daniel Parke.
On one occasion it is said that he
entered Bruton church one morning
and finding in his father-in-law's pew
a lady to whom his wife's family had
extended the privilege OF sitting there
he seized her and dragged her roughly
from the pew-not wishing, for some
reason, to sit beside her.
Frances and John lived together

whether or not as good husband and
wife ought TO do" may not now be
ascertained-u her death in H42.
| That the recollection OF the ills he had
borne remained with him IS testified
by the remarkable inscription on his
tomb:
Under this Marble Tomb lies we
Body of The Honorable John Curtis
Esqr of Hungar Parish on the
Eastern Shore OF Virginia and County
Of Northampton, the Place of His
Nativity Aged II and yet lived but
seven years which was the space OF
time he kept Bachelors House bn
the Eastern Shoar of Virginia"
Those Seven Fat Years.
On the opposite side OF this Mar
bile Tomb" is carved: This Inscrip-
ton put on the Tomb by his owne
positive order" AT the bottom APP
pears the name and address of the
London firm that made the tomb.
The seven years referred to were
those following the death OF his wife.
1t may be supposed that he made up
for a good deal in that time. He made
very sure that the tomb was to bear
witness OF the superior joys of Bach
elor's House" compared to life with
the fiery Frances.
The positive order" was a clause
OF his will which further gave direc-
ton that my real dead body and not
a sham coffin be carried to my plan
tation one the Eastern Shoar OF Vir
ginia" If his heir failed to carry out
the instruction as to his burial he was
to be cut Of with a shilling.
And so the tomb still stands to as
sure the present age that domestic
felicity was an uncertain thing even
in the good old days"
A Second Polonius.
Others Of Frances family were
married. Her sister, Lucy, the wife
of Colonel Byrd, was thus lamented
by him in letter to none other than
John Gusts "All pronounced her
an honor to Virginia. Alas, how proud
was OF her, and how severely | am
punished for it,"
Although the conduct of Daniel
Parke, father of Frances Gusts was
not always the height of decorum he
tried at least to be a proper father,
as a letter to Frances, written in 1902,
shows with its advice do not learn
to romp, but behave yourself soberly
and like a gentlewoman. Be calm and
obliging to all the servants and when
you speak doe it mildly, even to the
poorest slave"
The sage counsels OF her father may
have been lost upon Frances, but
whatever criticism may be made of
her life she had descendants who
have occupied enviable places in the
history OF their country. The son of
Frances and John GUSTS married
Martha cambridge, later the wife of
George Washington. And Mary Gus
It's, who married Gen. Robert E. Lee
was direct descendant.

There are almost as many recipes
for domestic peace and contentment
as there are troubles in domestic cir
cles always give the wife her own
wav." says one husband on his golden
wedding dav. Rules for the prevention
OF divorces appear in print ever so OF
ten from various persons who teel
sure that they at last have found the
wav to a married life entirely devoid
of friction.
But those who imagine that such
difficulties as the courts are called up
on daily to settle are a peculiar sign
of the times are somewhat mistaken,
saws the Baltimore Sun. Old records
of colonial days give evidence OF
strange cases and strange settlements
of marital difficulties. Here is one such
order for peace between an incompati-
Bile husband and wife:
Frances shall henceforth forbear TO
call him. We said John, any vile names
or. give him any i'll language, neither
shall he give her any, but to live low
ingly together and to behave them.
selves as a good husband and wife
ought to do, and that she must not
inter1neddle with his affairs, but that
all business belonging to the hus-
bands management shall be solely
transacted by him, neither shall he
intermeddle in her domestic affairs,
but that all business properly belong
ing to the management of the wife
shall be solely transacted by her"
No Divorce Courts Then.
This decree OF the early eighteenth
century is on file in Northampton
county on the eastern shore of Vir-
ginia. The husband and wife involved
were Frances and John GUSTS, who
lived at Arlington This town was
then on the south bank of Plantation
creek, which flowed into the bay, and
was not the estate on the Virginia
side of the Potomac which is now as
ISOLATED with the name Gusts.
The plantation on the eastern shore
was named for Lord Arlington, from
whom John Gusts had received GER
tain favors before his departure for
the colonies. His descendants gave the
name to the newer Arlington, which
has become a national memorial.
Domestic brawls in the days OF 'ye
said John" did not end in the divorce
court because there was no such court
in colonial days in Virginia. But keep
ing the peace was an important part
of the general courts function, as the
case of Frances and John shows. She
was a spirited lady, Frances Parke,
who does not seem to have had much
regard for the grave advice of the
court
Drive on, Mr.. Gusts"
Her quarrels with John have be-
come legendary in the county where
they lived. After a disagreement she
and her husband would allow days to
pass without addressing a word to
each other. 1t was a question OF en-
durance which could hold out the
longest on the conversational embar-
go.
During one of their prolonged nom
speaking periods Mistress Gusts and
her lord set out to drive somewhere.
