Sp0iiS the Business of Marriage
Brokers
AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
To Enforce Agreements to Remunerate
the Matchmakers
The PLAINTIFF Had Strong Case, if a
Strong Case Could Possibly Be
Made Out.

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9.--The SUI
preme court today handed down an
opinion laying structures on every form
of marriage brokerage proclaiming that
any agreement for gain tending to bring
about a marriage between any parties
and under any conditions or circum-
stances is contrary to public policy and
moral principle. The case in question is
Morrison against Rodgers.
The plaintiff states in her complaint
that she is a married woman and that
Elizabeth A. Green lived in Illicit re-
lations with Alexander Montgomery:
that two children were the issue of such
cohabitation There had existed mu-
tual agreement between Montgomery
and Elizabeth Green to the effect that
they would intermarry but up to 1854 no
marriage had been solemnized. 1t is al
legged that Elizabeth Green feared that
Montgomery would not carry out his
agreement to wed her and sought the
aid of the plaintiff in the case, Kittia
Morrison, promising that if she would
use her good office and tlfuence Mont
gomery to the extent that he would
marry the defendant. that one-half of
all moneys and property received by
her as the widow of Montgomery. if she
survived, would be given to Mrs, Nor
rison.
In 1885 the marriage between Mont
gomery and Elizabeth Green was sol
emnized. and in 1898 the husband died.
In 1894 the widow married Arthur Rodg
ers an attorney of this city. The plain
tiff demanded onehalf of the amount in
accordance with the agreement, which
was refused her. and suit was thereupon
brought. The superior court decided
against the plaintiff, from which she ap-
pealed.
The appellant contended that she was
instrumental in bringing about the mar
riage; that Montgomery would not have
married the defendant if "she had not
talked it into him. and her action was
not that of a marriage broker for the
reason that there was an agreement be-
tween the parties to intermarry.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The senate

his purpose to press for decided action
by this government. The friends OF CUBA
who are largely in a majority in the
committee express the opinion that the
Cubans are holding their own, which un-
