EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
GIRL AND ORIENTAL
LOVER ARRESTED
Eighteen Year Old Mormon
Maid Says She Will Become
Bride of Nipponese or Die
OAKLAND, Sept. 22.— 8y the arrest
at the Oakland mole of Rayda Reed, IS
years old, of Smithfield, Utah, daugh
ter of James A. Reed, a railroad sec
tion foreman, and her Japanese lover,
Kunio Toda, ts:e police have perhaps
only delayed the marriage of the
couple. The Japanese and his attract- \u25a0
ive companion had eloped from Smith
field a week ago, with Seattle chosen
as their Gretna Green.
Miss Reed will be held at the deten
tion home until the police know
whether her father will come for her I
or permit her to become the bride of
the Japanese. Toda occupies a cell at
the city jal!. They have not seen each
other since their capture, <jbut both
maintained stoutly to Captain of De
tectives Petersen after their arrest
that they left Utah \u25a0yith he permission
of the father. . This assertion caused
Petersen to wire to Reed at Smithfield.
The reply came as follows in a few
hours:
"No. I do not consent to the mar
riage. She ran away." i
DETERMINED TO MARRY !
This message brought tears to the
girl's eyes when it was read to her by
the police this afternoon, but she re
asserted that she would rejoin Toda
\u25a0when they were free, and that they
would continue to Washington to be
come man and wife.
"Do you think you can persuade me
to pive up this man," said Miss Reed,
"when the bishop of the Mormon
rhurch could not? My father does not
need me. He has two other children.
Only recently he declared his intention
of taking another wife. That woman
<lid not object to the two other chil
dren, hut she let me know plainly that
she did not want me around her house.
And then my father suddenly let up
in his opposition to Toda and we have
since been engaged.
OEXTLESIAX, SHE SAYS
"I do not see why you don't let me
marry the only man I want to marry.
Kunio is a good man. On our trip
from Salt Lake he was a true gentle
man. We traveled apart like stran
gers and we did not move together
until at the Oakland mole, where we
were to take the train which would
carry us to our wedding place. All I
ask is that I be permitted to marry the
man I love and have chosen."
"Don't you know how these Japa
nese-American marriages always turn
out?" asked Petersen.
"This will turn out well." answered
the girl. 'I know it will because Ku
rio and 1 are in love. And isn't that
what any marriage should be based
upon?"
The girl was taken from the police
station after this Interview to the
Young Women's Christian association
building at Fourteenth and Castro
Ftreets. Later in the day Detective
Kmigh took her to the police station,
where the telegram from Reed was
read to her. Not only did Rayda dis
pute her father's word, but she again
defended her elopement with the
Japanese.
MARRIAGE O.R DEATH
"I -will die before I will give up my
hope of marrying Kunio," she said.
"You have no right to interfere. The
Mormon elders who were my advisers
from the time I was a little child tried
to dissuade me. Then they commanded
me not to wed a Japanese. And so I
ran away with Kunio to get my hus
band. And I will get him or I will not
live."
Toda was equally firm. In his bro
ken English he pronounced his affec
tion for the girl and his Intention of
marrying her. He said he could make
a good living: for her and would do so.
If Toda and Miss Reed had kept to
their program of being always apart
until they reached Washington they
would not now be in detinue. They were
seen late last night by Miss Donaldlna
Cameron, one of the sisters who have
achieved fame for their work In the
San Francisco Chinatown. Struck by
the spectacle of a white girl walking
with a Japanese, both carrying suit
cases, the mission worker took time
to observe them. Her experience
enabled her to divine the situation and
Miss Cameron telephoned to Captain
Petersen. The arrest followed.
GIRL IS BRUNETTE
Miss Reed Is a brunette, slender of
form, with large eyes and long eye
lashes such as a child's. Beside her
.lapanese lover she appears tall, for
Toda Is typically short of stature.
The Japanese is 27 years old. For
eight years, he says, he has lived in
this country and has saved enough
money to be the owner / of a small
chicken ranch at Smithfield. Just be
fore emigrating from Japan he served
in the mikado's army as petty officer
in an artillery corps. In this country
he has been houseboy, truck gardener
and section hand.
Miss Reed says she has had several
Japanese sweethearts. Her parents
did not permit her to make friends
with the youths of her own race, she
explains.

CITY MOST ELECT
TWO CONSTABLES
Judge Ogden Orders Supervisors
to Place Gray's Name on
OAKLAND, Sept. 22.— Alameda must
have two . constables, according; to
Judge Ogden, who Issued \a writ of
mandate today to the board of super
visors, ordering them to 7 place on the
ballot. at* the next election the name of
George . D. Gray as well as that of
Constable Al Kihn.
Judge Ogden's decision was based on
his interpretation of section 4104 oJf the
political code, which says -that there
shall be two justices of the peace and
two constables in each township. The
city of Alameda has been getting along
with one justice and one constable for
years. The place of the second justice
has been taken by the city justice,
which, Ogden Intimated, Was sufficient.
But Inasmuch as the township com
prises the same territory as the city
it must elect two constables at the com
ing election.
The proceedings which resulted in
today's decision were begun by Attor
ney Howard K. James in behalf of
George D. Gray. The latter was a can
didate at the recent primary election
for the republican nomination. He was
beaten by Constable Klhn.

"At least a third of the people who
are wearing trusses or supporters
were supplied with their apparatus by
clerks who know nothing of the fitting
of such merchandise." said .Miss AI.
Vosberg, th,e expert fitter tn charge of
this department pf the Osgood drug
stores. "The result is that thousands
of people are wearing instruments
that are doing more harm than good."
."I wish every woman who read.?
this paper would see me before she
purchases' anything of this kind," she
'continued. "Not that I want them tr>
buy here particularly, but because I
want them to be safe. Mr. Osgood
employs me solely to give free con-
sultations, and I am at the Twelfth
and Washington street store every day
from 0 n. tn. to 5 p. m. for this
purpose. Any one who feels the need
of a suspensory, supporter, truss or
weight carrying apparatus of any
kind is welcome to visit me. Further-
more, any one who is already supplied
is equally welcome, and if their instru-
ment can be adjusted or improved in
efficiency or. comfort I will gladly flx
it without charge if possible to do so."
Miss Vosberg is not only an expert
in this specialty, but also a graduate
nurse, having served, several years In
the Lane Hospital of San Francisco.
She has entire charge of the suspen-
sory and rubber goods department of
Osgood's and waits upon aril female
customers.' Her work "has received
the attention of the medical profession
to the extent that several pf Oakland's
best known physicians depend entirely
upon her. judgment In- fitting apparatus
