Grounds She was Involved In Larceny Suspicion The well-accepted principle matrimony that "love is blind" is questioned by a Chinese youth named Vu Yue-san who has just filed a petition with the Second Special District Court asking for a cancellation of an engagement contract which he signed with Miss Hsieh Lien-ping, daughter of a former magistrate, simply because the latter has once gone to a police station on larceny suspicion. What he has told the court indicates that he considers that to save face is more important than to love and he supports this belief so that despite the fact that his wedding day has already passed no settlement of the dispute was in ght yesterday.
The 24-year old young man des-bed as an employee of a Japanese firm, attracted a big crowd of cabaret girls in court on Wednesday when heated disputes took place because he looks like Han Nan-ken, the Chinese "Laurel" who frequents downtown ballrooms. He was to nave married on Wednesday but since he does not wish to indulge in love at the expense of "face," he has signified his wish to fight the legal battle to the bitter end. In his petition to the court he alleges that nis sweetheart was once detained by the police on a larceny charge in which a diamond ring was involved, Several hearings of the case have been held and, as usual, the judge asked both parties to the dispute to patch up their differences and to make up, but the judge's mediatory efforts have failed to achieve the desired result, There was no ma riage on Wednesday and to aggravote the situation the girl's mother has brought an action against the youth in the First Special District Court charging him with offence against the institution of family and claiming $50,000 as a compensation.
It is revealed during hearings in both courts that both parties to the dispute want to save their "faces" forgetting entirely the wedding and the romance preceding it. The auth has brought a counter action against the girl's mother, charging her with defamation while the woman wants him to compensate for the same reason, She alleges in her petition that the youth has lured her daughter from home and then tried io change his mind.
