INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES WILL BE NULL AND VOID

OLYMPIA, Tuesday, Jan. 31. -- In passing the bill preventing the marriage of whites with other races today, the House nearly made it a crime for any person to get married in Washington. Tacked onto the bill was a provision that persons who shall contract such marriages should be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. The printed bill was minus the word "such." The error was discovered in time and the proviso stricken, so that now such marriages are merely held null and void.
