Rejected Suitor
accompanied Riual
to Purchase License

The tension in the matrimonial mar.
ket was slightly relieved at the open
ing and advanced one point, but re.
mained at that stage throughout the
morning hours and at the close had
shown no further movement
The one point advance was caused
by the issuing Of license for the mar.
riage of two Syrians, Kali Abraham
and Amanie X. Chomon.
There is rather peculiar story at.
tached to this case, for about two
weeks ago Syrian named J. G. Hoa-
dar applied for and was granted a
license to marry the same young wo-
man, but 1t seems she reneged.
This forenoon Hoadar appeared
with Abraham. when the latter asked
for license TO marry the same girl.
After the matter was explained and
the new license granted, Hoadar calm
ly tore up the license he had formerly
procured.
It is believed that Abraham refund
ed him the money he had paid for his
license and allowed him bonus into
the bargain, although this has not been
verified.

WOULD HARM JAPAN'S

Toxic, Sept. With reference to

at present restrict emigration to Canada.
In an official statement Of its position,
the foreign Office says that under the
treaty no limitation can be placed upon
Japanese subjects to live in British pos
sessions. To consent TO limitation
would mean to limit Japan's stains as a
world power, to which She would never
consent. This sentiment is generally in
dorsed by the press, though the more
conservative papers manifest a growing
disposition to recognize that the low
character Of many Of the Japanese in
Canada and America is a contributing
