Edinburgh, Mar l0.-Judge Guthrie,
who presided In the notorious Stirling
divorce case, today handed down his de-
cision 10 granting Johu Alexander Stir

piled with a cross suit saying thst his
wife had been unduly intimate with

which took place Monday afternoon at

time Beyond admitting that the re-
port was true, Mr. Herbold having
little to say of the circumstances of
the wedding, prefering to enjoy the
mysteriousness with which the affair
is looked upon by their friends.
Among the facts which are generally
known are that the well known Gary
people were married by Rev F. H
Kaiser of the Gary Lutheran church. at
4 O'Clock Monday afternoon. Mr.. Her
bold intimated that he had been mar
ried in this city but the fact that on
the day of their marriage an attempt
was made TO secure an automobile,
leads to the belief that the ceremony
occurred in Crown Point. Everything
was done so quietly that even their
closest friends were not aware of the
important event that was transporting

an ardent worker in the cause for bet

by the Chicago city council last night,
ending a fight which has been in prog
ress for seven months The vote in
against it. The victory Of the Munich
pal Voters league over nonpartisan or
ganization of the council earlier in the
evening had tanned some of the alder
men and they fell into line readily. The
ordinance was amended by the local

objections OF many Of the aldermen

heart which the defeat of the attack

wrought. The arch-enemy of the fran
chise, Michael McInerney, got the floor.
He defied Mr.. brennan to prove that
he had ever asked for a grant either
directly or indirectly and then began a

ney.
He got his present position because
