escape the drudgery by marrying
her employer when the tempta-
ton is offered, and sometimes when
conditions have reached a point as
to necessitate union of that kind.
Now, when conditions have
reached that point, does society
step in and offer any other solution
of the difficulty? Offer anything
to ameliorate the condition of
these girls and make such a step
unnecessary? No. We never hear
any protest until conditions arise
which render it necessary for them
to take such steps, and> then So
ciety turns and says: No, you can

ploye. no matter what conditions
such service has brought about.

prevent the association of the white
girls with the Japanese upon such
terms of intimate equality, the ne

prevented"

JUDGE Stevens
MAKES A REPLY
TO HIS CRITICS

Many papers have severely criti-
cised Judge Theron Stevens for Of
floating at the marriage OF a Jap
and a white girl in Goldfield re-
Gently When asked for state
ment, the judge said:
I'm view of the fact that the
newspapers have taken up the mat
ter so freely and criticised my ac-
tion SO unsparingly with reference
to the recent marriage of the white
girl to the Jap. | deem it advisable
to briefly comment on the mat
ter.
While | have no excuses to Of
fer and do not desire to defend
my action, it is perhaps due my
friends to have an explanation OF
some of the reasons which ac-
tuated me in performing that cere-
mony, and | will say at the outset
that l would not hesitate to do
the same thing again under similar
circumstances.
In my judgment. society is
largely responsible for the condi-
tions that exist and which bring
about unions of this kind. In the
first place, lit is necessary for ev-
erybOdy to eat; under present con-
ditions it Is also necessary that
poor girls and young ladies should
be Hastily dressed. otherwise So
ciety considers them unfit to asso-
ciate on terms of equality with
those who have the means to graft
fly their tastes in that respect. In
order TO obtain the means of live
lihood and dress as society de-
nands. girls have to work. Socie-
ty permits them, without protest,
to go into Jap stores and asso-
ciate with them as employees with
out protest and subject to all the
influences that may be thrown
around young girls under such cir
cumstances. and II is not strange
that once in while one, seeks to

ALL-AROUND NATIONAL
ATHLETIC CHAMPION
Twenty-0ne Contestants to
Strive for the Title at
Chicago Today.

CHICAGO, August 13.-Twenty- ath-
letes. representing all sections of the
United States, will contest for the ma
tional all-around championship title in
the competition at Marshill Field under
the auspices of the American Athletic
Union today. The entrants include the
best ali-around men in the country, and
athletes expect competition will be so
close the winner will get away with only
d small margin.
\ Pacific coast man and Yale repre-
sentative will enter the field as favorites.
The present champion, Martin Sheridan,
will not defend his title and record. He
won the championship last year, scoring
1856 points. Fred Thompson. wearing
the colors of the Occidental College of
Los Angeles. is expected to give ]. r.
Fitzpatrick the Yale man, hard fight,
with the title likely to go to either.
Charles a. F'urey. Milwaukee man,
now representing the College of Osteop-
athy of Philadelphia, is looked upon with
favor. Furey recently scored over 5.OU
points at Atlantic City. carrying away
the eastern all-around title
A ruling recently made by the a. A. L.
regarding knocking over of hurdles will
be in effect today for the first time, and
is expected to work a hardship. Any
contestant knocking down three obstacles
will be disqualified. \ new rule calling
for wire five-tenths of an inch thick in
the hammer throw will also be in opera
ton.
Only twice in twenty-siX years has a
college man succeeded in landing the
all-around title. In 1896 Tom Shevlin of
Yale won, and in zoos Tom Bredemus of
Princeton won. Bredemus is contestant
this year.
