When William H. Hopkins, son of the late Sherwood H. Hopkins and nephew of K. W. Hopkins of Burlingame, realized recently that he was beginning to lead a bored exist ence, he decided to forget his million, his automobiles, golf and the numer ous charming San Francisco girls and go to work. This fact was generally known among the young man's friends, but, except that he was never seen any more in the old familiar places, not even the best of friends knew him any ore until Thursday, when the Pa. cific Mail steamship Newport arrived from Panama and Central American ports. A score, more or less, of the young er smart set had come down to the pier to greet passengers. Suddenly there was a commotion when one of the girls discovered that the natty young fellow garbed in the uniform of storekeeper was none other than Hopkins, who said:' "This is a great life and I like it. Hope to become a real steamship man some day. It will be difficult, though, because I have waited so long before starting. I'm going to stick it out. however, and maybe some day I will be purser on one of the big trans Pacific ships." Marine Notes.

BOTH HAVE FAMLIES Couple at San Antonio, Tex., Three Days as Man. and Wife; Ages DlTergent. DOUGLAS. Ariz., April 23. General Ignaclo L. Pesqueira. president of the eupreme military court of Mexico and v ho came here to become military governor of Sonora for the Carranza government, was held in custody of Urited States department of justice agents for almost ten hours here to day after his arrest on charges of violating the white slave act. General Pesquiera was arraigned before H. C. Beumler, United States commissioner, and waived a prelim inary hearing. He was released to night when prominent local Mexicans put up a bond of 15000 for his appear ance in the American federal courts. Senora Marja Rodriguez, who was de tained with General Pesquiera, was placed under bonds of $1000 as a wit ness. Federal Assent Aeraier. The Carranza official was arrested this morning when he alighted from a train from Kl Paso accompanied by the woman, by L. E. Blake, special agent of the department of justice. Bates swore to the complaint against Pesquiera. accusing him of having transported the woman from Texas here for immoral pift-po.es. Neither General Pesquiera nor Senora Rodri guez denied their relationship, and General Pesquiera said once before she had accompanied him on a trip from Mexico City to Los Angeles. Cal.. and return. General Pesquiera's family lives in the Arispe of Sonora and is one of the most prominent fam ilies in northern Mexico. He is the father of nine children. He is about 65 years old. Senora Rodriguez told the government offi cials here she was 23. that she had been married but is not living with her husband and has a child in Mex ico City. Both said they had come from Mex ico City together, that they had reg istered as man and wife at a San Antonio (Tex.) hotel three nights ago and had. occupied the same Pullman berth on the train from El Paso to Douglas. Pesquiera. who was to wait here before assuming his duties as military governor of Sonora after the arrival of Carranza troops in that state, would not talk about his arrest. The couple left Mexico City Sunday last, according to General Pesquietra, and at that time only two governors had revolted against the Carranza government with Sonora. General Al dency of Mexico, fled from Mexico varo Obregon, candidate for the presi Clty the day before he was to have faced General Roberto Cejuda. a Mex ican revolutionist, at the trial of whom Obregon was called as a witness, ac cording to General Pesquiera. "Obregon was accused of conspiring with Cejudo and other rebels," he said, "and his arrest had been or dered by the special Judge hearing the case." ALBERCOS DUE WITH OIL ABOUT 2 00 TON'S OF OTHER CARGO FROM ORIENT. Steamer Reaches Astoria and Expected io Be at Dock in Portland Today. Is The eteamer Abercos of the Admiral line bringing 500 tons of vegetable oil in her deep tank, but only 200 tons of other cargo from the Orient, arrived in at Astoria yesterday morning and a"er passing quarantine started up river for Portland. She was ex pected last night to reach municipal terminal No. 4 about midnight. Vessels returning from the Orient have been bringing very small car goes for several months, but the 200 tons of general cargo brought in by the Abercos sets a new low record. The situation in regard to return freight is expected to improve with the termination of shipping board construction activities in Japanese yards and the recovery of J pan from her present financial flurry. Shipping board vessels built in Japan, are required to be delivered to the emergency fleet corporation on ttys coast, and the Japanese opera tors, obliged to bring the vessels across the Pacific, have filled them with cargo at rates which American vessels could not approach. It is estimated that the last Japanese-built shipping board vessel will be de livered within two months. The vegetable oil brought by the Abercos is the first oriental oil to come to this port in bulk, and will christen .the city's new steel storage tanks at municipal terminal No. 4. By making the voyage from Yoko- hama to Portlarrd in 14 .days, the Abercos established a new speed record for vessels in the Portland oriental service. - GRASSHOPPERS FLY FAR African Species Sometimes Found - 12 00 Miles From Land.

Fonrteen Great Battles Fought and Losses in Killed- Ran to Over Half Million. NEW IOEK. A defense of Italian claims in the Adriatic has been made here by Baron Romano Avezzana. the new Italian ambassador to Wash ington, at a dinner of the Italy-America society. Baron Avezzana declared that a legend had been circulated that Italy had entered the war inspired by desires for territorial gains and had waited until she could decide which side would be victorious. The ambassador said that if such had been Italy's position s-he would have taken elde with Germany, "who offered her a great deal more than is stipulated in the now famous treaty of London." maintained that. on the other hand, the Italians had joined the entente when the latter's fortunes seemed most desperate. "Italy entered the war," he con tinued, "for the principle of liberty championed by the western powers, a principle which was in perfect har mony with her national aspirations for the completion of Italian unity and security of her frontier No con dition has ever been Imposed by Italy which is in contradiction with the principles of liberty and justice, and which does not represent a legitimate national aspiration, a proved histor ical right or an Impelling precaution for security." Baron Avezzana declared that Italy had fought 14 great battles during the war. and had won all except Ca poretto. He detailed the Italian losses, which included 600.000 dead, a suffi cient answer, he said, to the claim of those who would belittle Italy's achievements that she fought an easy and cowardly enemy. in describing the present eituatlon in his country Baron Avezzana said that at the end of 1919 the Italian debt amounted to 88,000,000,000 lire, of which 20,000,000.000 were due to the allies and the United States. To meet that situation, he said that the Italian government had resorted to more radical taxation than any other country, and that the budget revenue for 1919-190 had been raised from 3.000.000,000 lire, to the pre-war fig ure of 9.411,000,000. A deficit of about 2.000.000.000 lire is estimated for 1920 1921, with balancing accounts for the neft fiscal year. He added that these estimates included a vast program of industrial encouragement, payment of interest on all debts, a new impetus to shipping and the construction of great public works. Prior to his address Baron Avez zana was presented with a letter writen in May, 1918, by Theodore Roosevelt to Captain Francesco M. Guardabasfd. of the Italian army, in which the ex-president eulogized the gallantry and efficiency of the Ital ian army, and expressed the hope that "the Italian-speaking . provinces of Austria will take their naAral places In the Italian kingdom." The letter will be given to the king of Italy. , AIR PROGRESS IS SHOWN Britain Favors Erection of Strong Mooring Towers. , LONDON. The leading British con structors of dirigible airships are considering favorably a proposal by the British ' air ministry that they should combine so far as the ltne of development is concerned, according to the American chamber of com .

Charles T, Murray's Letters, Read in Court, Say That Girls of Salt Lake City Are Attractive. Mrs. Carol Zoe Murrey, 19' and pretty, struggled to quiet an uneasy baby in her lap as she told Presiding Circuit Judge McCourt a story of cruelty and desertion that brought an immediate decree of divorce yester day afternoon.- The husband. Charles T. Murrey, 21. had gone to school at Salt Lake City, Utah, from which city he wrote his wife that he cared no longer for her, that the girls he had met there attracted him greatly, that their religious differences could never be reconciled, and that -he -wished she would get a divorce. The letters were read in court. Mrs. Murrey delayed beginning divorce proceedings, for she said she had always hoped that her husband would come back to her, but finally gave up all hope when he sent her no money whatever and she was forced to go to a hospital as a charity patient when her baby was born. Other default divorce decrees awarded by Judge McCourt were: Bonnie Bishop from Glad Bishop, Helen L. Hornbuckle from V. V. Hornbuckle, Clara Waring from Francis Waring and Robert Miller from Florence R. Miller. Divorce suits filed in the circuit court yesterday were: George H. Robblns against Alice M. Robbins, E.

"As I was coming up from San Francisco I met a prominent California banker, and he told me he had just returned from Europe, the condition of A'hich economically we here in America can not understand.
