SEATTLE. Wash.. March 2T.
(Special.) Th Emery party have
decided definitely that the wedding
of Mlaa Emery to Aokl ahall take
place In Canada, or on a boat en
route between here and Victoria.
Thle plan, waa aettled upon early
thla morning1.
SEATTLE. Wish., March 26. (Special.
Miss Helen Gladys Emery and her
Jnpanese sweetheart GunJIro Aokl, -were
reunited today for a brief space, but
mere was no -wedding-.
Miss Emery, In charge of her mother.
rame here from Portland, arriving; this
anernoon. At Tacoma Archdeacon
fc.me.ry. the- girl's father, , joined them.
Aoki also 'hoarded the. train there, and
came to- Seattle in the same car with
them, but apart from them.
oinry mnuiy is at the Savov
Hotel in Seattle, with the exception of
Aokl. who Is staying at a downtown
hotel that has no objections to Japanese.
Try to Hide Their Identity.
At the Savoy, Archdeacon Emery is
registered as A. J. Abbott, of Berkeley,
and Mrs. tmory and Gladys are regis
tered as Mrs. Wlsconlnson and daughter
of Oakland. This registration was
farce from the start, as a hungry hand
of reporters followed the party from
the depot to their lodgings.
The Emerys. after leaving Portland this
morning, took seats In the day coach of
the Portland-Seattle train, and denied
their Identity to all reporters. Scarcely
a station was passed that correspondents
did not flock In, but a woman and
daughter n the. parlor car came In for
more unpleasant questioning than did the
two fleeing -women.
Emery Greets Wife Coldly.
Arriving at Tacoma they were met by
Archdeacon Kmery, who had mysterious
ly appeared In the North after -being re
ported in retirement in Southern Califor
nia. The Episcopal official kissed his
daughter tenderly, but greeted his wife
with pronounced coldness.' He hurried
them into the waiting-room, and Im
mediately bought tickets for Seattle,
; passing In a few minutes through the
gate and Into the same car as formerly
occupied.
When the party again entered the car
it -was seen that Aoki and a friend of
the family whose name could not be
learned, but who was of Spanish descent,
was in the car. Aokl gave no sign of
recognition of his fiancee or her mother
or father. The two had seats some dis
tance apart, and so continued to Seattle.
Arriving there the loving pair were for
the first time brought together in the
waiting-room, but only for a moment
was the-Japanese allowed to press to the
side of his loved one.
Women Kept In Seclusion.
The Emery party at once took a car
riage to the Savoy, and after registering
retreated to rooms 1103 and 1104, where
they stayed for the evening. 11 visitors
were denied admittance.
Shortly after reaching their room, Arch
deacon Emery -went out and In a short
walk visited a telegraph office, from
which he wired a Tacoma friend that
the entire party had arrived safely. He
then asked a policeman at what time the
Victoria boat left, and returned to the
hotel, where he telephoned the immigra
tion authorities and Inquired as to what
seps were necessary for. a Japanese to
leave the United States and return, and
also as to the qualification necessary for
admittance to British Columbia.
- May Marry on High Seas.
It was suggested to Mr. Emery, and
not denied, that he planned to sail on one
cf the Canadian boats for British Colum
bia and watt until the vessel reached
neutral waters in the Straits of Juan de
JAica, and then have the captain of the
ship perform the ceremony. Thla -would
do away with the license question.
On tlie trip up from Portland Mrs.
Kmery talked of the marriage of her
daughter to Aoki and aaid:
Nobody's Business," Mother Says.
"It Is not true that Mr. Aokl Is an igno
rant or low-class Japanese. He Is the son
of General Aokl, and has ample means
for the support of his wife. It is his
Intention to return to Japan or go to
Honolulu after the ceremony. All the
fuss that has been made over this mar
riage, which la nobody's business but our
own. has-been made by low-class for
eigners, dirty- Italians and others, who
before the San Francisco fire were the

FOR AND AGAINST
LIQUOR TRAFFIC
DRIXK QUESTION DEBATED AT
GREAT CITY. OF BEER.
President Dickie and Mayor Rose
Present Opposite Views of "
Prohibition.
MILWAUKEE. "Wis.. March 26. Should
the Nation be "dry" or have numerous
saloons regulated in a "sane" manner?
This question was threshed out tonight
in a remarkable debate bet-ween Mayor
David S. Rose, of Milwaukee, and Dr.
Samuel pickle, president of Albion Col
lege, Albion, Mich., on the question: "Re
solved, That prohibition as applied to the
manufacture and Bale of intoxicating
beverages Is right."
Mr. Dickie defended the affirmative and
Mayor Rose the negative. There was no
decision and the question as to who had
proved his case was left to the audience.
Mr. Dickie declared prohibition was
right, even if. viewed only from an eco
nomic standpoint.
The saloon," he declared, "is the foe
of capital, but pre-eminently the enemy
of labor. It paralyzes the arm of the
workingman, shortens his life, excludes
him from many lucrative callings, de
creases his power aa a producer and
throws into the labor market a, vast mass
of debased .and unintelligent laborers who
compete disastrously with the sober and
Industrious -workmen."
Mr. Rose treated the subject from
Biblical, ethical and material standpoints.
He declared that when the Ten Cora-
maridments -Were "written no attempt was
made to Inject prohibition, and he chal
lenged anyone to find one wore! in the
Bible advocating prohibition.
Treating the subject from the ethical
Bide, he quoted the census and records
of cities and states to prove t&a-t prohibt.
tion Increased crime, insanity, deaths,
pauperism and stagnated business. He
took the criminal records of Milwaukee,
a "wide open" town, and said the ar
rests per capita were less than In the
prohibition states of Maine, Kansas and
Georgia. He said there were nfcre di
vorces in Kansas and Maine than In
Wisconsin, a "wet" state, and that pro
hibition states have more paupers.

Humphrey Pleads for Protection to
Ko-rthivest Democrats Score
Payne Bill, as Giving . All
Pie to Republicans.
WASHINGTON. March 26. The mo
notony or the tariff debate in the House
was relieved for a time today by a clash
between Fordney of Michigan and Byrd
of Mississippi, which came near ending
in blows. Fordney had been, discussing
the lumber schedule when he was Inter
rupted by the Mississlppian, who Insisted
that the -lumber manufacturers, of whom
Fordney was one, were in a trust. Ford
ney peremptorily denied the statement
and said that Byrd "did not know
damned thing about it."
Byrd made a move toward Fordney and
was in the act of removing his coat.
when some of his Democratic colleagues
Interfered. It developed later that the
Incident grew out of a misunderstanding
and both men made exDlanatlons and
apologies.
Protection for Rough Lumber.
Fordney in his speech pleaded for bet
ter protection in lumber in the rough.
Opposed to him -was Howland of Ohio,
who wanted the product placed on the
free list. Others who spoke were Pou of
North Carolina, and Macon of Arkansas,
both of whom arraigned the Payne bill
for not accomplishing what it was pre
tended it would do, while Humphrey of
Washington advocated a tariff on shln-
ffievrraxKf lumber high enough to enable
the lumber and shingle manufacturers
of his state to compete with those of
British Columbia employing cheap Ori
ental labor.
Humphrey for Lumber Duty.
Humphrey took Issue with some
statements made by Payne in his
opening speech regarding the number
of Orientals engaged in the lumber
mills in British Columbia, Payne said
that he thought there were fewer Ori
entals -working in such mills there
than in the State of Washington. The
statement was erroneous, Humphrey
said. He declared that over 50 per cent
of the men engaged in the lumber and
shingle mills of British Columbia
were Orientals; were paid lower wages
than American mill laborers, and that
therefore the cost of production was less.

JAPAN BOYCOTTS
AMERICAN GOODS
USES PRETEXT OF "PCKE-FOOD
LAW" AS REASOX.
Police Go Through Dealers' Stocks
and Confiscate Large Quanti
tiesOthers Untouched.
VICTORIA, B. C., March 26. That a
boycott of American goods under guise
or enforcement of a "pure food law"
has been started in Japan is the state
ment of a weekly newspaper published
at Yokohama. The paper says:
""For some unexplainable reason, ex
cepting that action has been taken un
der the 'food law,' Japanese officials,
backed up by police officers, have been
calling upon foreign and native gro
cers and confiscating their stocks of
certain brands of goods. Strange to
s.ay, the goods confiscated have been
American goods only, and the officials
do not even look at the British, Ger
man and French goods. Another fea
ture of these strange proceedings was
that nearly all the articles confiscated
bore the stamp of the American health
board and each package was printed
with all the names of the ingredients
contained.
lhe dealers inform us that they
never knew there was such a thing as
a Japanese 'pure food law." The loss
to the dealers is a serious one."

SAN FRANCISCO. March 36. (Special.)
That the Harriman and Hill Railroad
forces are getting together and that an
agreement In regard to Oregon affairs it
Impending became apparent today. After
E. H. Harriman and Lewis W. Hill,
president of the Great Northern,- had '
met at Paso Robles last night, they came
on to San Francisco together today on
Mr. Harriman's private train and were
in conference most of the morning. After

ager of the Northern Pacific; J. P.
O'Brien, of the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company and Southern Pacific In
Oregon; H. E. Calvin, vice-president ol

which occupied half an hour, for a con
ference to take place tomorrow between
Mr. Hi".l. Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Nutt for
the purpose, of discussing traffic affairs

more money would be saved by abandon

whole distance. It would also involve the
pooling of the terminals in Portland, Se
