COMMON Law MARRIAGES..
The Asse mbly bv a Vote of 118 to 0 Passes
the Bill Abolishtng Them.

ALBANY. March 13.-By q vote 81 1l8 to 8 the
Assem- bly, to-day. after a long debate. passed
Mr.. Weekes's bill abolishjng common Jaw
marriages. An attempt was made by MI. Fish
Of Madison county TO amend the section pro-
viding for a marriage by contract. II recorded
before an officer. the SANE as a real estate con-
veyance. The bill declares that the officer
shall have the power to question the woman
alone to ascertain Il she signed the marriage
contract under o mpulslon. IL he finds that
she did. he is 10 refuse to certify 10 the con-
tract. which will make the marriage null.
Mr.. Fish considered this section OF the bill
bad as 1t would open opportunities to make
persons sign marriage contracts under COM
pulsion. He also attacked the provision OF the
bill which l~egalizes marriage ceremonies per-
formed by persons not authorized to perform
the same. providing the contracting parties
we're deceived. His amendment was defeated
BY a vote OF lis to I.
common law marriage as one that is never
compulsory and one OF true love, both parties
mutually agreeing to live. together. Mr..
Weekes spoke IN favor OF his bill and attacked
the common law marriage on the ground that
under the provisions OF law, recoRnizing such
marriages no man could tell whether he was
married or not. He made this statement:
"A man dies and along comes a woman
heavily yelled and in deep mourning and
claims to be his wife and for the first tim the
man hears he is married.
Mr.. Weekes was 50 much in earnest that no
did not notice the bull. Messrs. Phillips and
Irainor supported the bill. while Mr. ), ].

AFRAID or VAN WYCK'S VETO.
Brooklyn Legislators Ask Roosevelt to Try
to Delay the Day of Adjournment.

to Delay the Day of Adjournment.
ALBANY, March 13-The entire Republican
legislative delegation from Brooklyn waited
upon Gov. Roosevelt at the Executive Cham Der
to-day and asked him 10 use his influence to
prevail on the Legislature not 10 adjourn on
March 81. Senator Marshall said it was most
important that the Legislature should stay In
session for a longer period. as otherwise
all their important measures now pending
might fall to the ground. They would meet
the veto ofthe Mayor and because OF the fifteen
days the Mayor IL permitted to hold bills
would stand no chance OF being enacted. The
Legislature would not be In session to con-
slider them when the Mayor would send them
back. The Brooklyn delegation pointed to the
fact that the bills Of the up-country members
did not have to undergo this experience OF 60
ing before a Mayor.
Gov. Roosevelt took the delegation into the
Governors inside room. where the matter
was discussed in private. Atterward The Cow
ernor indicated that he would do what he
could to help secure the enactment Of some OF
the bills the Brooklyn men were concerned
about. He admitted that the Ramapo meas
ures were among those discussed. Assembly
men Fallows, Gherardi, Davis and Weekes
were with the Brooklyn men in their call on
the Governor.
Those familiar with the legislative session
think that the Brooklyn Legislators are uniuly
alarmed, ana that all Brooklyn measures which
are likely to be vetoed by Mayor Van WICK can
back from him in time FOR the Legislature,
before the CONTEMPLATED adjournment Is had.
again to take affirmative action upon any
measure which Mayor Van Wyc1 may veto.
