AMERICAN MARRIAGE LAWS.
Received March 30, 10.55 a.m. NEW YORK. March 29. As the laws of California and Oregon prohibit the marriage of whites with Orientals, Miss Helen Emery arid Gungiro Aoki were married at Seattle. The Mayor of Tacoma issued a notice that if the couple appeared in the streets they would be arrested as public nuisances. Miss Emery is the daughter of a Cilifornian archdeacon, and Aoki a relative of Count Aoki (late Jauanese Ambassador to Washington)-. A cablegram yesterday stated that several thousands mobbed Miss Helen at San Francisco railway station shouting vile enithets at her. Newspaper correspondents finally rescued the girl.
