Practically all the criticism of

For tnoref than a year Kay's conduct
of the raids on Chinese gambling places
has been the subject of much criticism.
Even the plain clothes officers who
worked under Kay'a directions In
Chinatown have drooped hints that
gross partiality, to say the least, was
shown by Kay as to which fantan
games should be raided. It has been
said that after the renort of a fantan
game in operation had been telephoned

been a sergeant since last September,
would order the officers out on other

8an Francisco, March 24. Unre
strained by public opinion, Whioli
strongly condemns what rt believes a
mesalliance, Helen Gladys Emery, the
vounar daughter of Archdeacon John
Emery of the Eolscopal diocese of Cali
fornia, aided and abetted by her mother,
Is preparing to evade the law of the
state and marry Gunglro Aokl outside
of California, according to a rumor ex
tant here today.
Undeterred by the objections of her
father and her friends. Miss Emery
and her mother are packing their trunks
preparatory to a flight from California,
that the girl may become the bride of
the Japanese dlBhwasher. whose soul,
according to Mrs. Bmory, ia white,
though his skin Is brown.
"It Is un-Chrlstian to object to the
marriage because of the difference In
race," are the quoted words of Mr3.
Emery. "Christianity teaches that all
souls are white."
Mrs. Emery's theory as to the soul
color of the Japanese suitor of h
daughter is not borne out by the re
marks of Aokl's relatives and Japan
ese friends, who are reported to have
offered him $1,000 to forsake his plan
to marry the white girl. These friends
axid kin declare Aokl s astral raiment u
not srotless: rather, that he is a Jap.
anese Don Juan of no mean reputation
They aver that he has Invaded th
homes of several Japanese and that it
is not the firsf time he has practiced
his wiles on the heart of a gentl
Caucasian.
Gunglro, unheeding the pleas of his
brother. Rev. C. Aokl, who has been
politely asked to resign his pastorate
of the Japanese mission, Indlgnantl;
spurned the proffered bribe of his com
patriots and reiuseo to reunquian nt
claim to Miss Emery.
The Bmery family, however, has ser
iously divided and the women s con
tlnued defiance of the world's dlsac
proval may result in the breaking up of
the household. Recently Mrs. Emery
sent a message to her son Charles ask
ing him how he viewed the approaching
nuptlula of Aokl and his sister. The
answer was succinct and to the point.
It read:
"Dear mother: Tou know how I love
nigger'."
The archdeacon remains from under
the family roof.
k The Emerys have been socially iso
lated at Corte Madera since the an
nouncement of the rlrl'a encasement
became publlc That haa not prevented

Washington, March 24. Champ
Clark, leader of the minority In the
house, today declared on the floor
of the house that there is no time
for a continued discussion of the
tariff. He said the minority did not
desire to waste a moment, but
wanted a thorough consideration of
the bill and an opportunity to amend
it.
Clark declared that the tariff is
paid eventually by the consumer and
referred to the fact that witnesses
before the ways and means commit
tee when it was considering a tariff
bill wanted either an Increase in the
Dingley rates or wanted the tariff
held in status quo.
Clark charged that the deficit in
the United States treasury was the
result'Of the Dingley tariff bill. He
criticised the- Republican members,
who were In a majority on the ways
and means committee, for not per
mitting the Democratic , members to
help frame the Payne tariff bill.
. Clark Intimated that at a recent con
ference with Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh a tariff scheme waa dis
cussed and a line of action determined
uDon to support weak spots in the
bill.. .".
Speaker Cannon, from the floor, de
clared' that so far aa his recollection of
the conference went, nobody mentioned
tariff. -
Clark reverted to his argument and
said the "ultimate consumer, as termed
bv Representative Bou telle, had not ap
peared before the wayB and means com
mittee, because the public at first
thought the hearings were phases of a
stunendous "confidence game." Then.
added Clark, when that feeling wore off
the ultimate consumers lelt that the
osslblUty of getting substantial reduct
ions in the tariff was so remote that
there was no use going to testify be
fore the committee.

5123 a bushel haa been tald In Port

stem wheat. ,
This is the hlirhe.nt nnint rpnehert rtnr.
ing the present season and is so far
above anything ruling in this market .
since pioneer days that it cannot bo
compared with any other year.
Not only has this record value been
actually paid here for a supply by a
miller, but more wheat could be moved
at the price if it could be secured.
As the price mounts higher those
who still retain supplies at primary
points are moving up their asking value
and today it is doubtful if most of the
bluestem left could be obtained under
11.50 a bushel. A few who have small
lots for sale are holding for $1.25. and
from the present outlook are very likely
to obtain it during the next few days.
The high price of bluestem and the
extreme scarcity has helped to , boost,
the price on all other grades of wheat.
Club wheat Is today being quoted very :
firm and stiff with actual purchases by
local people at 11.10 a bushel track
Portland. This' by the way. is the high
est price ever reached for this well .
known variety, which la likewise grown
more in the Pacific northwest than any
other grade. For turkey red actual
transactions have been made here
around $1.1491. 15 a bushel, which,
would mean better than $1.03 a bushel
even at far interior points.
The advance in wheat has revived the
talk of still another advance in flour
