ONLY one Thing TO DO
Chancellor says He was Obliged to
Issue the vanderbilt-Ruther-
ford License.

LONDON, May 1.-In a letter to the
Times, occupying three columns, DR.. iris
tram. chancellor of the London diocese, to-
day defends his action in granting the
Vanderbilt utherfurd marriage license by
that he was Obliged to grant Mr. Wander
bits application.
The chancellor's answer to the bishop of
London's severe criticism forms the text
for a lengthy editorial In the Times which
says DR.. Tristram's argument opens up an
important controversy between church and
state. The paper maintains that Rev.
Haddom's action in marrying Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Rutherford was due simply to an
error OF judgment, which 1t hopes will not
be copied by others of the English clergy,
and deprecates the heavy moral sense
which seems to be implied by the bishop
OF London's language"
The Times upholds DIT. Tristram's con-
tention that he had no right to interfere
in a matter 80 dubious that the House OF
Commons had legislated in direct contra
diction Of each other and in the genera
moral sense OF the public"
The editorial continues:
1t would seem a great hardship II by the
sole fault of the guilty party an innocent
person should be placed during the lifetime
Of that partner under one of the greatest
inflicted, a disability which may involve
the greatest temptation, and where Chris

ACTS UNDER AN OLD LAW

HONOLULU. May 2a-CBy Pacific Gable
to the Associated Press)-Private parties
ave demanded that the government sue
the brewery company for $4,000 for an
alleged violation OF the United States con-
tract labor law.
1t is alleged that the company induced

plantations. The federal oficers have
learned that the agent sent to Korea last

the treasury instructions issued under an
old law. which has since been a~brogated.
The government, therefore. has decided
that the brewery company Is not liable for
