FRIENDS STAND BY PASTOR
Misleading Statement Brings Unjust
Criticism to Rct. K. II. Sawyer.
T
VA.VCOUYER. M'uh. Aug. JO. (Spe
cial.) Rev. R. H. Sawyer, pastor of the
First Christian Church In this city, has
received a letter of criticism from Cali
fornia concerning a marriage he per
formed here August 14.
The report of the marriage of Pletro
DAti and his 13-year-old bride was
so worded as to give the impression
that Mr. Sawyer consented to perform
the 'marriage ceremony after a priest
had refused to do so. The fact is that
the girl was accompanied by her par
ents, and the marriage license bad been
properly made out.
Mr. sawyer aaaea iDout tne gin s
age, who looked easily It. as she was
dressed, and the parents both replied
she was It years old. Mr. Sawyer did
not know that the girl had been re
fused a license In Portland, or that a
priest would not perform the marriage
ceremony.
Mayor Evans, when he heard of the
criticism voiced against the pastor,
called him up and said that lie admire

Koo said, are satisfactory. A spirit of

he said, "who are less concerned with

Dr. Koo asked eagerly what impres

American Capital Welcomed.
"China's resources. said Dr. Koo,
"are open to American capital with
little chance or opposition from any
foreign government. Feeling against
the Japanese In trade relations fanned
by the recent Japanese demands," he
said, "was subsiding."

the Imperial Chancellor, were noted
with satisfaction today In official cir

Tha Chancellor said. If It developed
that a Uerman submarine commander
had gone beyond hi Instructions. Ger
many would not hesitate to give com
plete satisfaction to tho Cnlted States.
Irormal assurance to this effect was
given to the Slate Department last
week by Count voa Ilernstorff. the
Uerman Ambae.ador, on Instruction
from Herlln. The Ambassador already
had Informed Secretary Lansing that
CSerman submarine had been ordered
to torpedo no more peaceful merchant
men without warning.
Xo far as officials here know, the
submarine commander who attacked
the Arable has not yet, reported to
Merlin. I'ntll this report has been
awaited a reasonable time, the Wash

the promised formal communication
from the Imperial government. One
dispatch reached the State Department
today from Ambassador (ierard. but
Secretary I-anaing said It threw no

In t'.ermen quarters tonight It was
aid that Count von Ilernstorff prob
