MIXED MARRIAGES OPPOSED BY JUDGE

Wilson R. Gay Emphatically Declares He Would Not Perform Ceremony Uniting White Girl to Jap.

EXPERIENCE SHOWS FOLLY OF MATCHES.

"White girls should not marry Orientals: I would not perform such a ceremony, and it seems to me that the experiences our young women have had a warning, which evidently it is not."

With these remarks, Judge Wilson R. Gay, in the superior court this morning, granted Marie Tanisaki a decree of divorce from Uchichi Tanisaki, a gardener on Mercer Island. The girl complained that the Japanese treated her cruelly. A decree was also granted Belle Atkinson from Fred Atkinson.

Mrs. Lillian Rook asked the court to review the proceedings by which James A. Rook obtained a decree of divorce from her January 25, 1909. She alleges that they were married in Kansas City, July 14, 1904, and that he forced her to go to her mother in Los Angeles, October 5, 1908, where she later was summoned to appear in a divorce action. She answered that she would contest and says Rook told her that the proceedings had been dropped. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Rook returned to Seattle and lived with Rook two days, when she was told the decree had been entered and that he married another woman April 15, 1909.

Divorce complaints were asked by John Kotyk against Paraska Kotyk, desertion; Jessie M. Sullivan against James S. Sullivan, cruelty; Cora E. Niles against John I. Niles, desertion; Bridget Quinn against William Quinn, cruelty; Josephine Carroll against Arthur Caroll, cruelty; Rodney M. Wilder against Mary H. Wilder, incompatibility.
