Roosevelt forces in complete mastery of
the situation, although the old guard
kept up Its light grimly until the end.
Roosevelt's Triumph Complete.
Following the flrst ro.ut of the or
ganlzatlon in the selection of Colonel
Roosevelt for temporary chairman
came his dramatic and successful bat
tle for the adoption of the platform of
tbe "progressives and his final victory
in the nomination of Mr. Stlmson.
By th etlme the Stlmson vote was
taken the strength of the organisation
had been dissipated badly. Having no
candldaet for whom to make a deter
mined fight. It threw the bulk of Its
vote to Representative Bennet. As a
rule, voting on the candidates for Gov

tween "progressives' and the old guard
as the vote for temporary chairman
Thompson Well Supported.
On the vote for State Comptroller
Thompson received substantially the
full "progressive" strength In addition
to about half of the old guard forces.
He was opposed by Senator Klssell.
The new state committee, containing
several new names, waa announced to
night, and It waa assumed thta the
"progressives" would control, turning
over to the Roosevelt forces .the party
machinery of the state. Chalrmi
Woodruff, who failed of re-election In
his own district, was elected from the
second district.
Xrw Chairman Likely.
The election of a "progressive" chair
man in place of Mr. Woodruff Is expect
ed, although who the new chairman will
be Is not surmised. It Is customary to
hold a meeting of the state committee
for the election of a chairman directly
after the convention, but Chairman
Root, of the convention, said that no
tuch meeting would be held tonight.
It is understood this situation arfose
on account of the fact that no agree
ment had been reached as to the new
state chairman. Lloyd C. Griscom and
Cornelius V. Collins both hav edecllned
to serve.

System Will Mean Waste.
B. R. Buckley, president or the 'Mining
Congress, expressed a view entertained
by many of the delegates, when he said
that It was his belief that the leasing
and royalty system would Inevitably lead
to the. defeat of one of the main ends
of conservation, the prevention of waste.
"Leasers,'' he said", "would not handle
great quantities of low grade ore that
now are mnied at a profit. It would
not pay them and all this would go to
waste."
The composite resolution offering the
Roosevelt-Plnchot conservation policies
will In all probability go through, but not
without opposition. There are some able
supporters of the Plnchot theories
among the delegates and they will op
pose the reeolution but there will be no

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 28 (Special.)
After a 1300-mile flight from Los
Angeles to Seattle In a vain effort to
be wed, two Los Angeles Japanese and
two white girls, one the daughter of
a retired Utah farmer and the other
the daughter of a Los Angeles mer
chant, were granted marriage licenses
here today, after being refused in every
city where they had applied.
Knnio Toda. a Japanese merchant. o(
the California city, and Miss Ryda
Reid, whose pursuit of the elusive
license began at Los Angeles and has
taken them through the Oakland, Cal.,
jail, were the flrst applicants. After
securing their license they were mar
ried by Rev. M. Takahashl, pastor of
the Japanese mission, and immediately
took an lnterurban car for Seattle, on
their honeymoon.
I -os Angeles Couple Shy at City.
Taunejlro Tanaka and Edith Hote
meyer, both of Los Angeles, were the
second applicants, and came to thia
city, accompanied by an attorney.
After getting their license they left In
an automobile, stating that they would
not attempt to get married in this citv,
but preferred a country town close by.
The auto went in the direction of Roy,
a few miles south of Tacoma.
In the case of Miss Reed, who nut
her husband first in Los Angeles, the
young couple began their long Journey
to be wed by first making tracks to-
ward balt Lke t-lt"- where the father
ot the bride-to-be lives. They wera
arrestea in passing mrougn uaKiana.

"-anrornia city autliorities that Ills
daughter was of age.
"he following laconic message was

I in Jail. James Reed."
I with tneir. release from the Oakland
jan, tney tnougnt it not best to tempt
the parental mind further by continu
ing their journey to Salt Lake, so they
took the Shasta Limited for Seattle,
where, of course, they expected to ex-
perlence no trouble in securing a li
cense, get married, ana sail tor the
Orient on their honeymoon on the
Tamba Maru. It was planned to pass
their honeymoon with Toda's father,
a wealthy Japanese wine merchant,
who had asked his son to visit him In
japan before death should finally
separate them. After returning from
the Orient Toda and his bride were to
go to Los ; Angeles and reside on a
chicken 'ranch in that vicinity, which
the Japanese husband owns and oper
ates. Jap to Give Up Religion.
When contemplating their amrriage
Toda agreed to give up the religion of
his forefathers and in return his Mor
mon sweetheart has adopted' many of
the customs of the - Far East. She
speaks Japanese like one "to the man
ner born," and firmly believes . that in
far Nippon only does woman hold her
true position in the scheme of things
domestic. She insists that Japanese
husbands treat their wives better than
the Americans do, and asserts that
marrlage , a more Bacred Institution !
u that country than here. Miss Reed i
says that the Jap husband extends a
comradeship to his wife that Is un
known ln this country.
When her father's telegram w-as men
tioned today, Mrs. Toda said:
When my father said that he did not
give his consent to my union with Toda,
or words to 'that effect in his order to
arrest us if there was any law, he lied.
He has said often he did not care what
became of me as long as I did not hang
around his home all my life. There . is
no danger now that I will bother him."
The Jap takes the warm affection of
his white wife very casually, and when
she becomes too demonstrative in public
he does not hestitate to repress her.
Couple See Only Joy.
Mr. and Mrs. Toda express entire satis
faction In their present situation and da
not hesitate to declare that their mar
riage will be one of happiness.
This is the . second international mar
riage between a white American girl
and a Japanese which has stirred the
Pacific oCast within "the past two years,
the other, which culminated most unhap
pily for the bride, was that between Miss
Gladys Emery, daughter of the Arch
deacon Emery of the Protestant Epis
copal diocese of California and Gunjiro
Aoki.
