Bryan in delivering short speeches
on the issues of the campaign into a
photograph. Previously he had
made similar speeches on the records
of a competing concern.

had received $500 from each of the
two concerns as compensation for his
work, When confronted with the
suggestion by a newspaper man that
he had accepted money from cor

Democratic party, Mr.. Bryan stated
that the whole proposition was 6
commercial one and that he very
properly could accept pay for his la

NEW MARRIAGE LAWS
NOT MUCH CHANGED

Baltimore. Jan. 14.-Cardinal Gibbons
said yesterday that the new laws relating
TO marriage I'm the Roman Catholic
church which have recently been issued
by the Holy See will not change In any
important particular the existing laws or
the church in this country. The new
laws are aimed to prevent hasty and i'll
advised marriages. The cardinal said:
"As you are no doubt aware. the pub
lication of the banns has always been re-
uuired in this country except In cases in
whichs special dispensation Is procured
This rule will not be altered by the new
legislation"
The new regulations will be announced
after Easter, II Is said.
The decree was issued chiefly on ac-
count of the Inconvenience arising In Eu-
rope from what are termed "sponsalia:"
that Is, mutual promises OF marriage pri-
vately entered upon. These sponsalia, 1t
was found, caused the deception of in
experienced girls and gave rise to dissen-
sions and disputes.
1t was ordered that a marriage must
take place before the parish priest or the
bishop OF the place. and that there must
be two witnesses. Some other conditions
are attached. but these did not apply to
this country.

NEW YORK SUBWAY
FOR NEW HAVEN TRAINS

New York, Jan. 1.-THE public service
commission, In plan II has sent to the
board of estimate for the enlarging OF tho
dimensions originally planned for the
Fourth avenue subway I'm Brooklyn and
OF the bridge loop In this city, has made
preliminary move which may eventually
lead TO the running through the subways
OF the trains OF the New York Central.
the New Haven and Hartford and the
Long Island railroads.
The commission has applied to tho
board OF estimate for permission SO TO al
ter the plans for the Fourth avenue and
loop subways as to add 81 inches to the
height OF the tunnels. 1t Is eplained by
the board that this would allow the run
ming OF the trains of the steam railroads
through the two subways. =
Behind the suggestion is AN idea helh
by the members OF the commission that
by making the new subways OF such "A
size that the trains of the railroads could
run through them II would be probable
that the Central the New Haven and the
Long Island lines would become competi-
tors for the new routes which are being
planned.
