Washington to Secretary of State Lam
sing that II is interested in the fate of
the Anterior anti Asiatic marriage bill
pending before the state senate.
While formal protest against the

corded, the fact that Secretary Lam

In a telegram to the governor, Sec =
rotary Lansing says:
THE Japanese amba Ssador informs
me that Senator Atherton has proposed
an amendment to a pending bill relat-
ing to mixed marriages which will In =
cludc among prohibited marriages
those between whites and Mongolians.
] would much appreciate a statement
Of your opinion as to the likelihood or
Its enactment
This bill was introduced in the sen
ste after the anti-alien lobby episode
came up and Just be IRE the invcsti-
CATION was had. 1t was introduced to
prevent the marriage of japanese to
an American girl at Twin Falls. The
