THEIR VIGIL ENDED.
The Tidewater Senators who Watch
ed the Oyster Bill Die.

The OYSTER bill, which died on the
Senate calendar without ever having
come to a vote, could not have passed
that body, even had vote been forced.
The failure of the measure Is large
ly due to the vigi auce, energy and
Influence, of a quartette OF senators
from Tidewater. Senators j boyo
Sears, of Mathews; 9. Harding Walker.
of Northumberland and BIZ. 6unter,
of Accomac, have been on guard In
the Senate almost constantly for the
past ten days. All during the long SEES
sion the trio sat there, awaiting any
movement to take the bill up reaoy
at a moments notice to antagonlze
it. and II need be to delay action.
Senator Stands, of Southampton, the
fourth member of the quartette,
has not been so regular and constant
in his vigil. Much work was done to
accomplish the postponement, ana
slow death Of the bill, to which me
Tidewater members were so strenu-
ously opposed. When they get home
to their constituents nothing Will oe
too good for them, and all they VIII
need to do is to indicate what they
wish. Senator Sears Is one OF the most
attractive speakers in either house,
and last session made a brilliant
speech and powerful argument
against the bill. Senator Walker is one
of the ablest constitutional lawyers
in the General Assembly and one oil
the most solid and Influential mem
beers. Senator Gunter. although a new
member and a quiet one, is a SOUND
lawyer and an attractive and forceiul
speaker. He is hard and sctive
worker.
To the combined efforts Of these
men is due the defeat OF a determined
effort to break the Baylor oyster sur
vey and lease oyster rock therein

JAPANESE BRIDE COMES
TO GREET HER HUSBAND
She Marries His Photograph in the

Spirituous Joy.

On board the steamship Gaelic.
which arrived last Thursday night,
came Mrs. Chiyono Kimura, % years
old. She informed United States I'm
migrant Inspector II. A. S. Persch
that while in Japan she had been
married by photograph to K Kimura
a barber doing business in Sacrament
to, whom she had never seen. The
husband appeared at the immigration
Office on Friday. but he was so drunk
and incoherent that he was advised to
take Rip Van Wrinkle sleep of TWEEN
ty-four hours after which he should
obtain from the Japanese Consul a
certificate Of good moral character
and marry the girl according to the
American civil law.
Mr.. Kimura explained that he had
been with some friends at the Impe-
rial Hotel on the previous evening eel
ebrating the arrival of his bride and
that the festivities had overcome him.
The happy young folks were married
yesterday.

AROUSE IRE OF NIPPON
japanese Society OF America Files
Protest Against Segregation of
Children in Public Schools.

K. Yukawa, acting president; DR..
/ A Nishikata. director, and Kisatsuchi
Koda, director, of the japanese Asso-
citation Of America filed a protest with
the Board of Supervisors yesterday
against the plan of the Board OF Edu-
cation TO establish a separate school
for japanese children. The commune
cation sets forth in part:
Such unfortunate action on your
part would certainly go to cancel
many of the former splendid and
magnanimous acts of this republic
ia leading Japan to her present
standard of civilization. Equally
unfortunate would il be for Japan,
because of the feeling that she
must cast off that fraternal allegiance
Y lich her people have so long mani
tested toward the United States. But
We feel confident that ii is not the
desire of the best element of people
Of this country to cause i'll feelings
between the two countries. especially
at present. when the sympathy of al
most the entire population of the
United States is with Japan in her
struggle in the Far East.
That very strong feelings OF
friendship toward the United States
prevail among the people of the whole
empire Of Japan is greatly due to the
fact that Commodore Perry, who be-
came an idolized hero by his distin-
guished act of introducing our coun-
try TO the Western nations. was an
American citizen. and also to the fact
that a constantly increasing number of
our young men who have graduated
from colleges and schools in this
country are gaining distinction and in
fiuence throughout the length and
breadth of our country. We feel
proud to state that many graduates
of American colleges or those who
hare received education in this coun-
try are holding important posts in
both Government and business life In
Japan. Baron Kaneko, who has held
many distinguished offices in the Gov
eminent and made a brilliant career,
was graduated from Harvard Uni
versity. Our present Minister, Mr..
Komura, and Vice Minister, Mr.. Chin
da. OF the Department of Foreign At
fairs are both graduates of American
colleges"
The protest declares that the Jap
anese children are the equals OF
American children in every respect,
save their complexion" Appeal is made
to the Supervisors to make thorough
investigation "of this most delicate
and complicated question"

STRIKES SALOON-KEEPER ON
HEAD WITH AN IRON BAR
Peter Hawkins, Former BiIlposter,
Arrested on a Warrant Charg
ing Assault to Murder.

Peter Hawkins. formerly a billpos-
ter, was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives- Regain and O'ConneIl on a
warrant from Police Judge Conlan's
court charging him with assault to
murder. The complaining witness is
Joseph Hoccour. a saloon-keeper at
las Fifth street. Hoccour was sit
ting on a chair in his saloon one
evening about six weeks ago, when,
he says, Hawkins entered. Hawkins
had an iron bar in his hand and Hoe
cour says that without spying a word
Hawkins struck him on ti.e head with
the bar, knocking him unconscious.
Hawkins promptly fed, leaving the
iron bar behind. His only explana-
ton of the attack is that he and Hoe
cour quarreled. This Hoccour denies.
Hoccour is still under treatment at
the French Hospital.
Hawkins some years ago was ar
rested for failure to provide and for
threatening to kill his wife because
she had left him owing to his cruel
treatment. They were subsequently
divorced.
