A case started in Justice Lavender's
court at Little Rock, Ark, last winter is
making its way by final degrees to the
court of final resort. The question involy-
ed is that of husbands liability for his
wife's prenuptial debts. Justice Laven-
der's decision relieved the husband of La
bility, but in the Circuit Court Judge
Martin reversed it. Tuesday a motion
vas filed for new trial, and the case will
probably go to the Supreme Court. The
style of the suit is L. j. Young VS.. Mrs.
L. NJ. Kies and her husband, j. ii. Kies.
The debt involved was contracted by Mrs.
Keis while she was unmarried and n
widow. Judge Martin holds that where a
woman contracts debt when no legal
disability exists the common law liability
obtains and the husband is responsible for
the debts of his wife contracted before as
well as after marriage. This suit is likely
to become a cause celebre.

Big Income n Myth.

The Rev. DR.. John Hall. pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. New
York, has written public letter IN which
he denies the circulated stories regarding
the great fortune he has accumulated, his
big income, and enormous wedding fees.
Because he gave $1,000 to the Board OF
Home Missions, stating that others might
well DO the same, rs the expected income
tax would not be called for. the inference
was drawn, he says, that the $1,000 DO
mated was the income tax he had expected
to pay, and that therefore his income
must be over $4,000. Il have no such
income as is thus inferred" writes the
doctor, "and the donation involved some
self-denial." Because Of the stories, DIR.
Hall says, persons all over the world are
continually writing him begging letters.
His reputed salary of $4,000 or $4,000
is, he declares, much beyond the reality.
To an editor who once announced that DIR.
Hall owned $1,0oO,000 of real estate, the
clergyman says he made an offer to give
him SSOO.0OO worth of it if he would find
it. The offer was not accepted. Answer
ing statement that in less than one year
he had pocketed more than $4,000 in
marriage fees, DR.. Hall says that figure
Is far in excess of the total amount Of
marriage fees he has received during the
entire forty-six years of his ministry.
