Determined to put a stop to reck-

tion by the death of Isaac L. Lowman,

Cotton A. Smith, written a letter to
Chief Dshman and stated that they
wish to go on record as being opposed
to any and all forms Of reckless driv-
ing and eager to obey the laws of this
state and city.
A part of the communication reads:
THE directors also wish to state that,
should the police department find any
members of this club guilty of gross
violations of our ordinance, you would
confer favor to this organization by
reporting the same to club headquar-
ters. They assure you of their hearty
cooperation in bringing to time a GER
tain element of motorists, who seem
bound to take the law into their own
hands"
When asked about the attitude
toward the autoists who violate the
speed laws, Chief Dishman stated that
the policy of the police would be as
usual that they would arrest all Of
Tenders and bring them to court and 1t
was for the police justices to mete
the punishment.
I'VE have but two men on the mo-
toreycle squad" said Chief Dishman.
They do the work of several men
and are doing all in their power to
apprehend violators of the speed laws
The offenders are taken into court and

Wall street. The fireworks displays
were individual, however, and kept the
street ablaze until nearly midnight.
The children wore fancy paper caps
and paraded on the street, while the
young folks and their elders enjoyed
card and musical parties at different
houses or watched the fireworks.
The unique custom was started four
years ago and has been carried out
annually ever since. Families who
happen to move into houses on the
street fall into the plan readily, while
those who may have moved to other
sections of the city frequently drop
back for the evening of the Fourth to
enjoy the celebration. The plan of
celebration is entirely informal, but is
participated in by every family on the
street.

Japanese Mixed Marriages,

70 young women contemplating mar
riage with natives of Japan. if such
young women there be in the United
States there is warning worth noting
i'll the story of the Addison-Todo mar
riage which is cabled from London.
Count Todo is Japanese n0bleman.
70 years of age, who was sent to Eng
land to complete his education, and who
while there married Elena Addison an
Englishwoman. After two wears in
England he returned to Japan, where
his family, who had other matrimonial
arrangements in prospect for him, were
scapdalized by the report of his marriage
and took steps for its annulment tn
der the circumstances there was no
trouble in procuring divorce without
consulting the wife.
1t happened, however, that Il japanese
editor heard of the affair and published
the story at full length in his paper. to-
gether with The information that the
Japanese wife selected for the Count
was the Princess Take, a member Of ii
collateral branch of the imperial family.
The publication brought the matter 10
the knowledge of the Mobiles Disciplin-
airy Council, which considered it worthy
of investigation. and. on finding the story
true, condemned the Count for having
made 4 mixed marriage. TheTeupon the
Emperor revoked his consent to the be-
trothal of the Count and the Princess
and Withdrew the Counts patent of no
bility. 1t is asserted that number "t
Japanese officials who eXacted or re-
ceived payments by way of hush-mou"y
in connection with the transaction have
been forced to resign.
The upshot of the matter is that The
Japanese are little particular them
selves-at least the official japanese
and that u japanese who marrieS
white woman is likely therefor to fall
under displeasure in his own country
But whether he does or not, the law o'
Japan looks askance upon the ue
uniting n Japanese man to a white WE
and the fact that he can procure Ms
severance without even giving her uoH-
ficatiOn. is likely to strike the aNera-r
self-respecting white woman as by H'rI
a sufficient reason why a white -iH
should not marry a native of Japan
