EMERY MAY WE'D HER
AFFINITY IN WASHINGTON

TACOMA, March 25.-If Miss Emery
and Aoki come to Tacoma to be mar
ried there will be no trouble. as there
is no law in this state to prevent the
issuance of license in such a case,
and any justice of the peace would
probably perform the ceremony If re-
quested to do so.
PORTLAND, Mach 25.-Shonla Miss
Gladys Emery. daughter of Archdea-
con Emery of California. and Aoki. her
Japanese lover, attempt to obtain a
marriage license in Oregon, as re-
ported, they will find that the path of
love, SO far as mixed marriages of that
sort is concerned. does not run very
smoothly in Oregon. They will not be
permitted to wed in this state, for the
reason that the law of Oregon forbids
the marriage of whites with orientals
Nor will the stay of Miss Emery and
Aoki be one of unsuIlied bliss in Port
land, even if they do not attempt to
obtain right to marry from the Ii
cense clerk.
The district attorney announced to-

streets of Portland arm in arm. as is
the wont of true lovers, they Will be
arrested as common nuisances. There
is statute. prepared on extremely
broad lines, which permits the district
attorney to make such arrests when in
his judgment such are necessary. and
he says he will not be at all back
ward in exerting his prerogative
should Aoki and his American fancee
attempt to walk the streets of Port
land together.
It is reported that the Aoki-Emery
party will proceed northward to Ta-
coma, Spokane or Seattle in their ef-
forts to find some one to pronounce
the words which will make Aoki and
Miss Emery husband and wife.
Before leaving his Office today Coun-
ty Clerk Frank Fields left instructions
with his deputies that if Miss Helen
Emery or Gunjiro Aoki put in an ap-
pearance in his Office tomorrow, when
they are expected to arrive here, to
have them thrown out.

NOVELS BARRED
FROM CAMPUS
Woman Students at State Uni-
yersity Refuse to Study Books
That Are Shocking"
Members of Senior Class Would
Strike Rather Than Read
Racy Volumes

She may play basket ball in bloomers,
turn an occasional handspring in the
seclusion of her gymnasium or execute
an Anna Held dance at the annual jinks,
but the Berkeley woman student draws
the line at the spicy French novel. She
has risen up in her might, and with an
upward toss of her toes kicked Balzac
and Zola, Augier and De Maupassant
clean out of the college curriculum. To
idyllic romances she will give tender
ear, but the ban has been raised against
the affinity literature of the French
persuation.
1t all happened yesterday when 20
young women of the senior class went
on a strike. They sent delegation
to Prof. s. A. Chambers, their instruc
tor, and told him to choose between
them and the racy volumes.
Different Books Demanded
You must give us different books
to read or we shall drop this course"
announced the leader.
Why, what is the trouble?" asked
the professor in amazement.
They are too perfectly shocking"
replied the spokeswoman. I'VE want
to learn French, but these books-why,
you can't read a page without starting
for fear that some one would catch you
at it. If we have to read these books
we'll give up the class. We wouldn't
read them in English. Why should we
read them in French?"
Professor Chambers looked over the
list of books It Is a senior course and
several novels had been assigned for
outside reading. These were the books
that caused the trouble. After few
moments he announced his surrender.
New List Is Prepared
Balzac, Zola, De Maupassant, Du-
mas Jr., Augier and their train of gay
and giddy heroines were sacrificed for
the Berkeley lasses. and in their stead
were offered Marcel Provost. Anatole
France, Prosper Merimee and gener-
Gus list of writer's of the softer school.
The freshman work in French is
perfectly beautiful said one of the
young ladies yesterday, and in fact,
almost all the underclass courses in
French literature are charming, but
these novels that Professor Chambers
assigned are-well. they're the limit
