at least seeing great men who belong
ed to an earlier generation.

was then little boy. We saw an old
man approaching US In a long. loose,
rather shabby coat and with a stoop-

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE ]

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 13.-lt is con-
fdently predicted here today that the
inter-marriage of whites and Japan
ese will be prohibited in Washington
after the present meeting OF the legis-
lature Two measures forbidding
marriages of this character have been
introduced, by Representative Wray,
of King county and the other by
Representative Ghent.
The bills follow as a result of the
notOriety gained by Seattle following
the marriage between Gunjiro Aoki
and Gladys Emery, daughter of Arch
bishop Deacon Emery, of Corte Ma
dera, California, two years ago, The
couple were married in Washington
because the California law prohibits
such unions.
Many other couples followed the
example set by the Californians and
colony of Japanese with white
wives was established near Seattle.

In addition q were severely wound
ed. a fresh outbreak Of rio'ing was
feared today and troops patrollet tla
sections where the disturbance was
feared and others were held in readi-
ness for service at instant notice.
The trouble was the result Of diff
ferences between sunnjtes, orthodox
Mohammedism, and the Shiahs, an
other branch Of the sect, over the cell
ebraion Of the festival of Noborum,
the first month in the Mohammedan
year. A great parade had been
planned and it was feared that it
would end in rioting on account Of
the open hostility Of the two fac
tions. The authorities ordered the
parade abandoned.
The leaders of the Mohammedans
decided that the parade should be
held in spite of this order, and it was
formed in line. The troops advanced
to intercept the movement of the pro-
cession. and rioting ensued The Mo-
hammedans rushed at the soldiers,
and drew weapons, it is alleged. The
troops replied by firing a volley which
did not check the attack. Volley af-
ter volley was fired directly into the
swarming Hindus. Women and
children were among the dead and
wounded.
The paraders retreated to their
homes. where they remained locked
in. Threats of reprial were made
and renewal of the outbreak was
feared.
