CIVIL CONTRACT is VALID.
New Statute Abolishing Common
Law Marriages In Effect.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-With the old
year common law marriages in this

a new law recognizing marriage by
evil contract takes effect. BY the
signing of a written agreement in
the presence of two witnesses, ac-
knowledging it before a notary and

man and woman may legally wed
in the state of New York.
In abolishing the old law. its abuse
by designing persons has been done
away with and the services of clergy
men. justices of the peace and alder
men are made no longer necessary
to tie the wedding knot Lawyers
who have given the new law atten-
tion say that 1t will require further
amendment to prevent its being used
to the injury of the contracting par
ties by failure to make marriages a
matter OF record.
1t is the last clause in the law that
has aroused criticism. If both par
ties contract a marriage, but neglect
to record 1t within six months by
carelessness or the intent OF the hus-
band or wife, the marriage Is inval-
i'd.
1t is pointed out that husband
may willingly deceive wife without
recording the certificate and after the
interval has passed may desert her

tered in the west at the next cleo
tlons unless something is done to at
once stimulate the foreign trade and
assist in securing markets for our
surplus products. Mr., Mason prides
himself on being one of the early ad-
vocates of reciprocity. He has for
several years favored customs con
cessions, and he firmly believes un-
less congress at this session listens
to public sentiment and places upon
the statute books reciprocal arrange
ments, there is grave danger the peo-
pie at the first opportunity will ad-
minister a strong rebuke. He fears
that the rebuke may extend to land
slide in the selection of the next
house of representatives, and dissen-
tions that may result in the overthrow
of the Republican party with its pro-
tective policy at the next presiden-
tial election.
Senator Mason is also preparing
to launch movement for the acqui-
sition by the government of the tele-
graph and its Incorporation into the
postal service so that the government
will monopolize communication by
wire as well as by mail. He now
proposes to suggest the issuance of
a low rate bond for the purchase of
the telegraph systems and the retire
ment of the bonds from the profits of
the telegraph business.
In both these measures the Illinois
senator understands he has the ac-
tive support of the president. The
position of the administration in IA
vor of reciprocity has been definitely
announced by the president in Off
cial communications.

GREATER
LIRE LOSS
Than Reporter by the Inter-
ested Steamship Company
Yesterday.
Seventy Three pf the Fated
Steamers crsF and Pas
sengers Missing.

SAN FRANCISCO,i Jan. 4.-The
Walla Walla disaster may be more
shocking than was ~ first supposed.
1t is known this morning that over 10
persona are missing and it is feared
that nearly all of them were lost
The list published OF those who
were saved constitutes only II OF the
passengers and a number of the yes
sells crew. While some of thine pre-
su'nably lost may turn up during the
day, it is known that unless they do
the number of persons lost will reach
73.
PORTLAND. Ore; Jan. 4.-Todays
reports from the Walla Walla disas-
ter off the California coast indicate
that the loss of life is much greater
than was at first reported.
The earlier announcements this
morning estimated that 73 human be-
ings had perished in that night of
awful ruin and wreck.
A conservative lestirnate later in
the day, doubtless Inspired by the Of
ficials of the steamship company, es-
timated the number. of lives lost at
36, the known to be dead not going
beyond ten. But this statement is
not borne out by the news which has
reached Eureka and by the stories OF
the saved.
The disaster iss theS most dreadful
that has occurred on tp Pacific coast
since the terrible morning nearly a
year ago. when the Rio de Janeiro
and her human freight perished just
as they had reached their destina-
ton.
At noon today there are no tidings
of the missing raft. A. government
boat has been cruising all along the
coast today.

Swift Meat Company Boycot.ed

At Denver, the head, where labor
organization is strongest, vigorous
boycott is progressing against the
meat products OF Swift & Co. and the
company says 1t will spend twenty
five million dollars to carry its point
and take the field of trade That
company is selling meats for four
cents which have been quoted and
sold all along for cents per pound.
At Denver there appears to be
confusing situation presented In the
failure Of the Butchers union and
other organizations to go together
in making the boycott effective.
Members of the butchers association
driving Swift's wagons is complained
OF, and while the unions are trying to
see where they are at the Swift peo-
pie are going right along selling
meats at fifty per cent of the former
price. Twenty FIVE million dollars
would last a good while in keeping
meats below the cost Of production.
The packing companies that en-
ploy union labor will naturally be al
lied with the union men to restore
the prices of meats. The fight is con-
fined to Denver now, but the unions
announce that they are seventy hve
thousand strong In Colorado and will
give Swift a battle royal.
Durango has no packing house at
present to suffer but may have one
by the time the smoke of the pres
ent battle has cleared up.

given equal to his entire years sal
ary This is to say, the bond ex-
pert or loan clerk who receives n
yearly salary of $4,000 a year re-
ceived from Mr.. Morgan check for

month was made happy with a
check for $3.50.
This is the largest distribution of
profits ever given by financial es-
tablishment In the history of Wall
Street. The gifts aggregated about
$3.50, 900.
