Two Jap Murders Upset Long Traditions Of Race 111 Philosophy of Ancient Japan Stealing Affections of An other's Wife No Killing Matter but Contact With Western Civilization Makes Complications By FORREST WHITE (CMirnM. ICI. Br T?. Amine.) Lus Angeles. Calif.. June 3.?Two love tragedies, one following swift ly upon the other, among members of the Japanese colony of Los Ange les. have upset tradition that goes back through hundreds of years of the philosophy of the people of the land of the Geishas, tho cherry blos som and lantern fetes and reveals a strange conflict of emotions in the clash of oriental viewpoint with Oc cidental association und customs. It is said that sex crimes are sel dom known in Japan and so far as the record goes" here they were rare to the degree of being unknown , until the last few days among the numerous Japanese residents of Southern California, with even di-/ vorce a rarity, although many of the wives were picture brides claimed byj husbands they had never seen before their arrival in the United States, j The two tragedies were complete.] There was nothing for the law to do, but investigate, for in each instance the slayer took his own life after; having worked his revenge. The case of Seichi Nakamura, a' well-to-do Japanese rancher on thej outskirts of Los Angeles, is one in I which the conflict of Oriental mind; and Occidental customs presents its | most striking contrast. Nakamura* served with the American Army in the World War and had absorbed a sort of Americanism, warped to his heritage of the Oriental mind. That was neither good for him nor his own people who were h1 j neighbors. Nakamura, married, despoiled the home of his neighbor. Mohel Yoshi. through infatuation for Yoshi's wife. Yoshi, who had not even a veneer of Americanism, retaliated by despoil ing Nakamura's home. It is the Am erican custom for a man to protcct his own home. So Nakamura, with his Army pistol, killed Yoshi and his wife and returning to his home, slew his own wife and himself. There was mystery about the trag edy until a note from Nakamura to Y. Muramoto, an uncle living not far away, was found and translated. It read: "Uncle:?I am writing down all the wrong I have been doing. For four years I have been infatuated with Yoshi's wife. Four days ago Yo shi discovered this and appeared very, angry. He came to my house when I was away and forced my wife to pay attention to him. On j May 21 he and his wife came over,, and Yoshi said he had taken his re-j venge and was happy. "When I heard him mention re venge I became suspicious of my wife's unfaithfulness. I made up my mind that I would divorce my wife, despite my own wrong, but when I told her that she said she would die, so I decided to kill all of them and myself. "I felt sorry for my baby, Haru Woman Still Pays Despite Recent Grains By Feminism Law Handed Down from Time of Adam Still Hold* Good Despite New Freedom Typified by Shorn Tresses, Short Skirts and Privilege to Exercise Right of Suffrage By I/. C. OWEN ICmK*t IW?. B, Tha Afnwl Berkeley. Calif., June 3.?Femin ism, carrying with It the right to vote, to wear short skirts and bobbed tresses,,has wrought many changes in the lot of women. But there Is one seemingly Immutable law, hand ed down from the time of Adam, that even the militant feminists have been unable to change. It is that "the woman must pay." If there is any doubt as to the trufh of this ancient law, two tragic cases which are passing through the courts here just now bear pointed witness to It. One case involves the wife of a university savant of considerable' wealth and note. The other involves the wife of a prominent lawyer. Onej case brings strikingly to the fore thei propensity of husbands to "cast the first stone." The other presents ' a little more of husbandly charity, i But in both cases the woman is pay ing. Mrs. Nancy Ochsner, whose hus-! band formerly was a member of the, faculty of Stanford University, a ge ologist of some prominence, was ar-j rested recently after her automobile! had crashed into another, injuring | its woman occupant. She wasj charged with driving while intoxi cated. Her husband feeling keenly) the humiliation of the situation, took; their children and went away leaving, her to face the music?alone and penniless. How thoroughly she has; "paid" is graphically told in her, lawyer's plea for leniency after she, had been convicted. "This woman, because of one un-, fortunate misstep," he said, "now neither has home, husband or chil dren. Without funds, unable to earn' a livelihood, she Is dependent on such charity as a few distant rela-| tlves may show her. Immediately after the tragic accident her husband closed their home and went away. | taking the children with him. The children have been placed in private j schools where the mother Is not per- j mltted to see them. A divorce and , their custody now is being sought in ' Los Angeles." The court. In passing sentence, ex pressed accord with the lawyer's! plea, but said the law gave him no j alternative but to fine Mrs. Ochsner: the minimum fine?$500. Unable to pay she was sent to Jail. The other woman who trans gressed and paid, and still Is paying 1 Is Mrs. Hugo N. Orr, wife of a Berke- | ley lawyer. Their intimate friends believed them Ideally mated. They' had two small children. Then one night Mrs. Orr surreptl-1 tlously went for an automobile ride with another man. The car broke down. Bandits came along, robbed her escort and kidnapped Mrs. Orr.

Later they threw her from their car and she was found unconscious at the roadside. Her husband found her at the police station where she had given a fictitious name. In the sensational developments that followed. Orr stood by his wife. He declared she had had his consent to go for the ride. According to the | police, he "lied like a gentleman." The other man said that if Orr dl I vorced Mrs. Orr he would marry her. I Orr filed suit. In it he made no men ' tion of a corespondent. He merely alleged incompatibility. But meanwhile, the other man has dropped out of sight. And Mrs. Orr has gone to work. She is paying. :M ELICK IF YOU NEED A A Refrigerator and do not see us wo both lose money. WE HAVE UNUSUAL.

Farewell," j The other tragedy was the end of a romance of old Japan?of a Japan-' *se lover who did not take his af-r fair of the heart with light philoso phy, but followed it through years and to the conclusion that death for the object of his affections and him self was the only solution of his problem. 1. Tashimu. the lover, was left to nurse his unrequited affection when ' the pretty daughter of his neighbor sailed away for American 17 years ago. His purpose was to follow her and a few months ago lie succeeded in reaching the shores of California and started out to search for the loved one. He found her in Los Angeles, the Wife of Kusuno Matsumoto, a pros perous merchant In Hollywood. She was happy, and repelled Tashima when he came to renew his suit in the belief that he could win her love. "1 will make the decision for both of us," he said when he left her. He returned and shot her down.1 killing her instantly. Then he shot himself and survived but a few min utes. He. too, left a note, and said that the woman had made a fool of, him In Japan, leading him to believe j that she really loved him, and that he had not forgotten.
