marry a girl without telling her big
brother he has new brother-in-law."
Such is the moral of this unadorned
tale For not keeping It in mind, Morris
Marvin, a fashionable young man OF
Corte Madeira. was beaten half TO death
by Judge Clark last night. Mr.. Clark
did not know that Mr.. Marvin had mar
rled his sister. Miss Alice Clarke. Tne
result is that Mr.. Marvin is filter to go
20 a hospital than on a honeymoon trip,
and Mr.. Clark is lodged in the city
prison here
The then Miss Alice, a pretty girl %
is, and Mr.. Marvin were married
secretly in san Francisco yesterday
and returned to the Clark home, at
Larksput Very late last evening Judge
Clark went home. He heard two voices
in his sisters rooms. He broke open
the door; while his siter's shrieks rent
the air he dragged the struggling, pro-
testing bridegroom from the room.
Clark pummelled Marvin, booted HIM
downstairs, chased him from the house
and away
Clark returned, intending to bid his
sister pack UP and be gone. Mistaking
the cause OF her t.ars. he refused to
believe his sisters story OF her hap
piness even when their mother assured
him that she was married, of course.
SO obdurate. so violent did Clark re-
main that his mother and sister called
IN Marshal Murphy, who arrested him.

OLD MARRIAGE
LAWS STAND
House Refuses to Pass Bill
Putting Runaway Mar
riageS UnCer Ban

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. March 23.-Deiaware is to CON
tinue in the enjoyment not only Of her
reputation as being the first State in the
Federal Union, but as the first State of
all for sweethearts and hances who are
determined to enter into that bnstfui
state termed matrimony.
The Broclson bill for more stringent
marriage laws was killed in the House
yesterday afternoon.
It provided a number Of new features
in marriage, procedure.
Boys and girls or persons under the
age OF eighteen for the male and six
teen for the female must present writ
ten consent. All persons about TO marry
must apply three days before the cere-
mony is performed.
Mr. Connolly sang aloud his opposition.
II say encourage marriage: let your mar
riage laws be liberal and do not put up
the bars and prevent young persons from
joining in this holy alliance. You do two
things:
First you discourage the very funda-
mental function Of society.
Second, you prevent the girl from re-
deeming herself and becoming a noble
woman.
Mr. Spruance opposed the bill and &C.
clared that people with good motives who
want reforms come to this and other
Legislatures. having no knowledge OF the
existing laws o. the State ard if such
bills pass, the laws will soon be tied in
a knot"
Mr.. Brockson averred that the whole
trouble with the bill seemed TO emanate
from the Republican side and because il
took away some marriage and license
fees from the justice Of the peace. Mr..
Williamson favored simpler and less red
tape and the general encouragement OF
marriage.
The bill finally failed Of passage by a
vote Of TO p.

JOY her reputation as a modern Gretna
