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 f ilm of the earth and were confined CConcluded on.

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.

FORDNEY IS FOR PROTECTION Loses Temper; .and Almost Provokes Byrd to Fight. DENIES ANY LUMBER TRUST 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."

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.

I 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." EMMA EAMES IS FURIOUS Slaps Bellboy Who Shows Paper Telling of Divorce. 'it PITTSBURG, March 26. (Special.)
