DIVIDED ON DIVORCE
UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE QUIT BE-
CAUSE OF DIVORCE VIEWS
OF PROFESSOR.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. "A mild
sensation was sprung here today
when announcement was made that
Walter George Smith, prominent
attorney. had resigned as member
of the board of trustees of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania because of a
difference of opinion between himself
and other members of the hoard over
the appointment of a professor who
he'd certain views on the" question
of divorce. Mr.. Smith was prominent
in the recent movement to make the
laws governing :. divorce uniform
throughout the United States.
:. Mr.. Smith issued statement say
ing. that he resigned because of a
difference of opinion as to the pro-
priety of the election of DR.. l.. p.
Lichtenberger. as an associate profess
sor.: His objections to DIR. Lichtene
berger, he said, were not based upon
any limitation of personal character
or ability, but because of views ex-
pressed by him at meeting of the
American Sociological society in At
lantic City last year.
The Views referred to were upon a
paper by Prof. George E. Howard of
the University of Nebraska entitled
"Is Freer Divorce an Evil?"
In the publication of the American
Sociological society, which Mr.. Smith
in his statement refers to, DR.. Lich-
tenberger is quoted as saying:
: "We might as we'll seek to stop sui
eide by prohibitive legislation as di-
vorce. "
Marriage in the aspect we are dis
cussing is the legal sanction of the
social custom Of the family. It is
upon law neither for its in
stitution nor for its perpetuation. We
need to get rid of the fear that the
family will disintegrate unless held
together by law. The family will arise
and disintegrate as the necessities of
life require with scant regard for our
laws on the subject

CHILD LABOR Law
WAS VIOLATED
The Cherry Mine Fire Caused
By Work of a 15-Year.old
Boy

Cherry. ILL.,. Dec. According to
the sworn testimony today, the mine
dra,-hsEe--which caused the death of
more than 300 men was unwittingly
started by Mat. Francisco, an. mex
perienced boy of Is, who was working
in the mine in alleged violation of the
law against child labor.
Francisco worked under Rosen
Jack. the eager who disappeared the
day following the accident. the boys
work being to. push the empty cars
from the main shaft In the second vein
over to the cage running to the third
vein. The boy. himself was on the wit
ness stand and stated that the loaded
car of hay which caught fire had been
pushed by him to the elevator shaft
leading to the third vein. He said he
had left the car of hay standing close
to blazing torch which ignited it..
hay he had ever been required to han
die and that his superiors in the mine
had given him no instructions as to
what he should do.
Coroner Malm stated that he con-
sidered Francisco's testimony as of
the greatest importance. The reports
of State Fastory Inspector Davies say
that the testimony justifies the opinion
that the child labor law was freely
violated in the Cherry mine.
Mine Inspector Thomas Hudson tes-
titled that he had not inspected the
mine since last July and did not know
that open torches were being used in
stead of electric lights with which he
knew the mine to be equipped.

1O-year-old husband. Charles Beving-
ton. Regardless of the age of the de-
PENDANT, and the fact that he and the
plaintiff were married nearly so wears

he keeps an affinity" This affinity
is a German girl named Mary New
man, 23 years of age. Mrs. Bevfngton
cites in her petition that Remington
brought the girl with him when the
family moved here from Canada two
years ago, and that she has usurped
the wife's place as head of the house
hold. AS a result Of an restraining
order. a deputy sheriff called at the
Bevington home last evening and
elected the aged Lothario and his al
legged sweetheart from the premises
According to the divorce petition.
the Bevingtons were married in 1865
and have six grown children, all but
one of whom are married. She furth-
err alleges that the aged Bevington
not only refuses to leave the German
girl, but makes threats of violence
whenever any such suggestion is
made. Captain ]. C. Waters. attor-
ney for Mrs. Bevington saws that the
family moved from Canada to Tone
ka in a hope that the old man would
forget the girl The move was fruit
less. Bennington brought the girl along.
and insisted on keeping her in the
house. When a married daughter
came here Monday to try to influence
Revington. he became violent. and il
IS said, the girl herself volunteered
advice to disregard the objections of

The divorce petition cites that Rev.
ington is wealthy, owning properly in
Canada and Topeka, and the restrain
ing order, which was granted NJ
vents him from disposing of any of
his property until a settlement has
been effected and alimony agreed
upon.
