When the military league was or

Beginning with next Sunday, when

MISSIONARY MAY
WE'D JAPANESE
WORKER WILL BE
THE BRIDE or REV. JOSEPH
lNAZATA.

LOS ANGELES, April ~ With the
apparent sanction of the leading minis
tiers and religious enthusiasts of va
rious denominations in this city, a Jap
anese-Amercan romance which began
under unusual circumstances is about
to eliminate in the marriage of Rev.
Joseph Kenichi lnazawa, pastor Of the
Presbyterian japanese mission, and
Miss Kate Goodman, worker in the
cause.
I'VE are engaged said lnazawa to-
day. when we will be married | do
not know; we must arrange. But it
will be soon"
Inazawa has been twenty years in
san Francisco and on the coast, the
past four years here He is 40 years
old, but looks much younger. Miss
Goodman is a New York woman OF
good family. She worked among the
Japanese there, and it led her to Chi.
cago. There she entered Chicago Uni
versity, and after a few years study
determined to go to Japan. stopping
in Arizona to see her brothers, she
CHANGED upon a copy OF the Pacific
Baptist, in which was an article rir-
ten by Rev. G. G. Pierce Of this city
dealing with japanese missions. Miss
Goodman was impressed, came here to
investigate, met the Japanese pastor
and picked him for a life mate.
She conducts a night school for boys
and spends her Gays among the wo-
men. She is Inazawas age. At pres
ent she is in San Francisco comforting
with T. A. Stuge, superintendent OF
Japanese mission works in SCalifornia.

Il do not think the marriage will
take place for some time-possibly not
at all-at least l hope it will not" h.
A. Surge said last night when ques-
toned on the reported engagement Of
Miss Goodman to Inazawa.
Il am surprised that anything should
have gotten out about this" he added.
Il was pledged to secrecy, and | hac
hoped that there would be no publicity.
Miss Goodman came here to confer
with friends and left today for Los
Angeles. Yes, | had talk with her,
but l do not feel at liberty to divulge
what was said. My idea was that the
marriage would be delayed for some
time, and that it might never take
place. That would be my wish. 1 am
not in favor of mixed marriages. Not
that | consider the japanese inferior
to us. On the contrary, it is Just as
important to keep the Japanese blood
pure
Il think that the feeling that was
aroused by the marriage of Miss Emory
to Japanese" Surge reluctantly ad-
mitted, may have caused these people
to agree to postpone their plans for
being married at once. 1t is very evil
dent that the sentiment on the coast
is against mixed mbarriages. But /
do not feel myself in position to dis
cuss the matter as had promised not
to speak of it.''-Chronicle.
