movement with respect to the Japanese
question in California was inaugurated
today at a meeting of the board of

discrimination against the people of
Japan, which has shown its title to
the respect of the world at large, that
has proved itself to be a great factor
in the civiliZing and progressive inf1u-

Money-PoIice Drawn
Into Case

A harassing story of matrimonial
adventure was told by Mrs. Anna Pow
ell Adams yesterday. to Deputy Dis
trict Attorney DOnnell when she ap-
piled to him for a complaint against
her husband, Lester l.. Adams, charg-
ing him with assault with a deadly
weapon.
Married December z, quarreled next
morning, separated, engaged in a
pistol duel last Sunday and both were
wounded. This was the story Of her
matrimonial experience which the
bride Of a day told yesterday. Mrs.
Adams says she has saved some cash
by hard work as a nurse. When she
met her soul affinity he is alleged to
have represented that he had money
and would take her back to Omaha,
where he had good position.
When she asked him to carry her
purse while they were walking on the
street previous to their marriage she
says he was prompt to perform the
desired service. On the day following
their wedding she remembered that he
had kept the purse several days in his
custody and asked him for it. To her
amazement she says she found that
part of the money was gone. She says
she ordered him to leave the house and
declared she would not live another
day with such a man.
Sunday night Adams called at the
home of his bride and it is said offered
to help her get a divorce if she would
pay him cash. She refused all his
offers. and, pointing a pistol at his
head, ordered him to leave the house.
Apparently the husband did not think
she was serious, and hesitated. A
shot into the air did not scare him,
and then the wife pointed the gun
down and placed a bullet in his foot.
Then he backed out of the door, which
Mrs. Adams claims she shut and
locked.
Adams then drew his own gun and
fired through the panel, inflicting a
wound in the left arm of his wife.
