HE WAS MARRIED
Capt. Milliken's Defense at Court
Martial for Deserving
Filipino Bride.
REFUSED TO LEAVE ISLANDS
Says Ceremony Was Twice Performed,
But Flaw Was Found in
Each Case.

Chicago. June 1O.-Producing two
that he had twice gone through the
marriage ceremony with Regina Bats
mo. a Filipino girl. in the town of Es-
calante. Negros island. p l.. Capt. Dav
id IL. Milliken yesterday contended
that he did not know whether or not
he had a legal wife.
The army officer frankly admitted be-
fore the court martial that he went
through the ceremonies. one in 1902
and one in 1904. thinking at the time
that they were legal. He also said that
a son had been born TO him and his
dusky bride. He testified that he had
lived with the woman for two years,
and that he intended To- bring her to
American as his wife. She would not
come. he said. because her parents
were old. and she did not want TO leave
them. Thus he attempted to- refute
the charge Of wife desertion.
Two Flaws Found.
Then he found that the marriages
were irregular. because the first time
the girls parents had not given their
consent. according To- the law of the
isles. and because the second cere-
mony had not been properly recorded.
The captain explained that this was
why he put n question mark after the
line. married or single" which ap-
pears on the army efficiency record
IL was expected that the defendant
in the trial would attempt to- show
that he had never married the Filipino
girl. and his admissions came as . sur
prise To the court.
The captains counsel then brought
out the point that the certificate previ-
ously presented by plaintiff was for
gerry. as its original showed. Mulliken
then went on to- show how he could
not be proved guilty of desertion of
his wife
Forced 20 Leave Alone.
He said that when his regiment was
ordered back he told his Filipino bride
she should prepare TO come with him.
This, he says. she declined to do. as
her parents were too aged for her to
leave them there alone. Accordingly
he contends. when the regiment left he
was forced to- leave his wife and son
behind. The point was emphasized
that he had tried 20 persuade her to
come with him TO America

he did not give to man the power of
changing his teaching, and that we
cannot conscientiously take part in any
other form of worship. They respect
our belief and never ask us to take
part in union services which are so
often a feature of opposite sects among
non-Catholics. This does not prevent
any social intercourse with others of
different faith. which is encouraged, as
is all that promotes harmony and good
will among neighbors and fellowciti-
zens. The honest Protestant married to
Catholic respects her belief, and will
not ask her to attend his church. Does
he not lose respect for the person who
will act against her belief for mercen-
airy purposes? Is the financial gain suf-
ficient to recompense for the loss of re-
spect the peace of mind?
No; it is not a violation of law Of
the church, this singing in non
Catholic church: it is the direct break
ing of the first commandment of God,
given centuries before the church was
established. The church is powerless
to change this law.
This reference to the respect in which
Catholics are held by their nonCathOlic
brethren suggests another thought. In
every community, large or small, the
| Catholics who command universal re-
spect are those who most strictly and
exactly live up to the rules of their
church, who admit no compromise in
principle or practice. Their position is
known on every question. and they are
spared useless approaches on dubious
propositions. They are on the best of
friendly terms with their fellow citizens
of all creeds. and are looked upon as
pillars of the state as well as of the
church. Model citizens these, active
and energetic in public life, always on
the side of law and order! Unswerving
loyalty to the teaching of their church
has compelled the high esteem in which
they are held. Our young men and
women may well pattern their lives aft
er those of these giants of principle,
and reflect that-to say nothing of the
loss of their own self-respect-no mer-
cenary motive in forsaking ideals will
win even the regard Of others.-The

WoMANLY WOMEN.

Some day men and women will both
realize that gentle moral lives are best
for women; then they will become con-
scious of the fact that they can get the
most out of life when they live the
lives of gentle women. 1t is a pretty
old word Prettier, l think, than ia
dies And 1t seems to me that you
and 1 would rather have our daugh-
ters be that today than anything else.
Wouldn't you? l would. To be gentle
and to be woman means to be every
thing to those about you. And to be a
woman without being gentle-well. do
you like the type? l do not. / do not.
! like manful men and womanly wo-
men. But ] do not like the advanced
woman" Her speech and walk are
alike strident. She has lost all that is
best in woman and gained all that is
worst in man. There really is no
place for her. She does not care for a
home. She is not a builder of homes
