CLUB OBSERVES
 ARKANSAS DAY

The Conway Shakespeare Club cele- brated Arkansas Day. at the home of Mrs. o. o. Florence on yesterday afternoon. Although the storm of sleet and snow "came down like a wolf on the field" the sheltered warmth and beauty of the artistic home, the charming hospitality of the hostess and the excellent program, caused the large number of members and guests who were present, to for get the unkind clements.
 Educational interests were the main topics of discussion. The principal feature of the meeting was an address by President Stonewall Anderson of Hendrix College, on the Rhodes Scholarship as An Educational Agen- cy."
 As Conway is the home of Mir. Claud Nelson, the recently appointed Rhodes scholar, and as Hendrix col lege is his Alma Mater, the Shake speare Club thought it fitting trib- ute to Mr. Nelson to have him as it's honored guest, and to invite President Anderson to give the members a clear CT view on the origin, requirements, purposes and benefits of the Rhodes scholarship. From every standpoint the address was fine one, and so full of edifying information, that hearty applause and vote of thanks follow ed it's delivery.
 Mrs. J. J. Doyne's paper on "School Improvement Association Work" was excellent in character, and met with ready sympathy in the hearts of her hearers.
 The music and vocal numbers given by Mrs. R. w. Robins, Misses Arnett, James and Livingston, were full of beauty and were heartily applauded.
 The social hour, after the program was enjoyed by all Refreshments of sherbet and cake in the club colors, nile green and pink, followed by coffee, cheese straws and salted almonds were served in beautiful manner.
 Arkansas Day" should be observed by schools, colleges and clubs. The state has has fine history and every one should take pride in publishing it to the world.

The restless movements of the girl
standing at the window disturbed
Nora. AS she looked up from her writ
ing she saw Esthers glossy black hair
framed in the stiffly starched white
curtains while she stared fixedly at
the willow tree in the settlement yard.
Nora rose from her desk and went
over to her: What is it, dear?" The
tenderness of approaching spring had
crept unconsciously into her voice, and
at the unwonted softness of her tone
the girl turned and looked at her
searchingly The penetration of her
glance made Nora uncomfortable and
she tried to summon her usual mock
ing spirit to her aid: Fair damsel,
why this dark and fixed gaze?'
Esther did not answer, but looked
out of the window. The blossoming
tree flickered against the line of white
washed fences Behind a Jagged roof
line the sun was sinking. They stood
there silent until falling darkness soft
ened the crude outlines of the back
street. The face of the younger girl
was that of biblical Ruth, but her
figure was the trim shirtwaisted one
of the American today, and her prob
lem was significant of the combina-
ton. Rooted tradition and fresh
growing thought had not been watered
by the tears of experience, and she had
yet to gather their flower.
She sat down in the quaint English
chair that Nora had placed before the
hearth. The poor system of the set
tlement had provided the latter with
an excuse for log fire, and to salve
her conscience for having a comfort
which the other inmates could not
share, she had bought andirons of the
poor Russian family on the corner at
at an exorbitant price.
Mrs. Altman" began the girl. She
spoke with foreign intonation rather
than accent. Has it ever occurred to
you that we two, the only Jews in this
non-sectarian settlement, have never
SPOKEN to each other as Jew to Jew?''
Nora put fresh log on the fire. At
other times, she thought, Esthee would
have jumped up to help her, but to-
day she sat strangely unheedful. rs
there anything odd in that?" she re-
piled. "The interests which have drawn
us together have been purely social
purely intellectual. Why should we
have forced religious discussion?

JEWISH MARRIAGES AND AMER
ICAN LAW.

JEWlST1 mAhhIASGo AMI AWEh-
ICAN LAW.
II. H. mARToGENsIs IN AMERICAN HEBREW.
(The following useful and interest
ing article was read recently before
the Central Conference of American
Rabbits at CharlevoiX. Considering the
ignorance, not only among laymen, but
among rabbis, as to the conflict be-
tween American and Jewish laws re-
garding marriage-productive in many
cases of trouble and confusion-we be-
lieve such articles as this should be
given the widest publicity among Jews,
particularly among immigrants who
know little of American practice and
law. The writer's conclusion seems to
he that the education of the rabbits
would solve the problem. Mr.. Harto-
gensis is member of the Baltimore
Bar.)
Marriages of uncles to nieces are not
allowed in any part of the United
States with single exception, and
that made to Jews only; while first
cousins may not inter-marry in num-
Der of states, yet such marriages are
usual and rabbis of little and long eX-
perience frequently disregard the law,
probably without knowledge Of the SER
ious consequences and the same is
true of Jews of all conditions and
length of residence. So | have ac-
cepted an invitation of the chairman
of your committee on the Harmoniza-
ton of Jewish and American Laws to
write further on the law of this sub
ject and to point out some dangers of
too close adherence to the rabbinical
preference for such marriages of near
of kin. With such information as l
shall set down it should not be diff
ficult to hold with the Talmudic max
i'm, Dine d. Malchathe Dine, the law
of the land is paramount.
While the Talmud permitted, nay
recommended marriages between un
Gle and nice (probably because of a
tender solicitude for the daughter OF
ones sister perhaps widowed) such
marriage is now everywhere prohib
tied in the United States and is fire
ouently denounced as incestuous an6
void from the beginning; but such &
marriage may be contracted by Jews
in the State of Rhode Island. There
the prohibition as to marriages cor
responding to the Levitical table o
degrees by statute running back tt
1898, does not extend to or in any way
affect any marriage which shall be sol
emnized among the Jews within TIN
degrees of affinity or consanguinity al
lowed by their religion; but the excer
ton really inures only to the benei

when such do take place they are val

Nor do they fall in the category of

the contrary is true in England. Thus
a marriage to a divorsee during her
sisters lifetime, or of a Cohan to a
divorcee.
Perhaps these marriages of near kin,
so popular among Jews in all lands,
should be validated in leading Jew
ish centres, notably New York City
by the legislatures for all citizens as
was done in England in 1S47, and, for
Jews generally, in Maryland in 1860
and in Louisiana in 1904.
Rabbis should be warned also of 60
ing through the empty ceremony of
marrying a second time couple who
have joui neyed for a lawful marriage
either to hospitable Rhode Island or
for first cousins to some neighboring
state or Canada, though to crafty par
ents and hoodwink friends at home,
this act may seem innocent enough.
AS good citizens they should neither
violate nor abet nor sanction the vio-
lation of statutory laws. And with the
possible mischief to innocents before
them, they should not deliberately set
aside the settled policy of the states
they live in, which denounce such mar
riages as illegal.
The intermarriage of imbeciles, lun-
atics, and others of defective faculties,
and of dependents and other derelicts
not allowed in some states, e. g., In
lana, | have not considered; nor have
| taken up the second marriage of
COUPLES divorced, most states prohibit
ing such marriages for a shorter or
longer period, while in the District OF
Columbia the guilty party may never
marry This would lead me too far
afield.

of residents, for non-residents when
returning to their domicile are likely
to inflict misery on themselves and
innocent offspring for offending the
laws of their own states
The avuncular marriage has been
prohibited in most states for many
years, but disallowed by statute in
some only during this generation &c.
g., New York; This may account for
a widespread popular belief that in
some states it is still allowed Gener-
ally relatives of half blood are on
the same footing as those Of the whole
blood. Intermarriage of first cousins
is prohibited in many states and the
list is growing The states which now
forbid them are Arizona, Arkansas, H.
linois, Kansas, Louisiana Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wy
oming Marriage is prohibited to
North Carolina, Minnesota and Wis
consin, to those nearer than second
cousins in Indiana, Montana, Nevada,
Ohio and Washington.
In some countries such marriages
are void; elsewhere and generally they
are merely voidable. They are either
null and void from the beginning or
may be annulled even when contracted
outside of the state wherein the con-
tracing parties have their domicile or
residence; while penalties at home
await those who go out of the state
or country to evade the law. Gener-
ally ministers who perform such mar
riages expose themselves to fines and
other penalties.
AS already pointed out these marri :
ages in many states are voidable and
net absolutely void. A marriage is
said to be void when it is good for no
legal purpose, and its invalidity may
be maintained in any proceeding in
any court between any parties in the
lifetime of or after the death of the
supposed husband, whether the ques
ton arises directly or collaterally. A
marriage is said to be voidable wher
the imperfection can be acquired into
only during the lifetime of both hus
hand and wife. Until it is set aside i

Sec. 119.) So that the danger to mar

riages are fines to the parties as wei

Ode Walton VS.. Montefiore, 2 Oh. 4SD,
where such marriages are legal. This
is also prohibited by statute and reg
ularly by the decisions So that rabbs
should not only know the marriage
laws of their own states but be fully
refusing to perform ceremonies of
strangers, until well advised of the
laws of the state whence they come,
always discouraging going to another
state or country to avoid the local law.
A marriage valid where celebrated
will be none the less incestuous here,
if within our prohibited degrees. Com
ity will not permit violation of our
criminal laws based on morals and
public policy.
The decisions against these marri-
ages proceed on the theory that such
a marriage is against pronounced state
policy. But it is not so in the same
forbidden A Federal decision not re-
versed makes the marriage of uncle
and niece legally celebrated in for
comfy usually existing between coun-
tries in this respect, and the relation
ship is held incestuous and the marri-
dicted, prosecuted and punished by the
laws of the state SO that in this
case Tin re. Rodgers 100 Fed. 1861,
was the result. The case is interest
ing and instructive. The husband had
left behind in Russia his legally we'd
ded niece and several children. He
came to Pennsylvania, prospered and
became naturalized citizen; by his
naturalization his wife too became a
citizen of the United States. Yet when
she and their children reached the
port of Philadelphia, the fact that the
parents were so near of kin was dis
covered and admission was denied to
the wife and children. The case went
to the courts and finally the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals de-
cided that the wife and children, 9TH
erwise admissible, must be deported
The decision has been criticised by
some lawyers as unsound, but by 9th
ers approved and it remains the law
of the land
Prohibited marriages of near kin are

ed without license or bans or by q

SERVICE FOR MEN
AT TRINITY CHURCH

At the morning service to be held in
Trinity Episcopal Church, corner of
Delaware avenue and Adams street, to-
morrow at II o'clock. it is arranged
that the members Of Trinity Mems Club
shall attend in a body. Trinity Mems
Club is now approaching the close of
the second year Of its existence, and
numbers about one hundred and thirty
members. The custom of having an
annual service was inaugurated last
year. Most of the club members are
also members Of the parish, but many
belong to other churches, and some to
no church at all, hence the custom Of
arranging for a special annual service,
when all the members may unite for
public worship.
The preacher at the service to-mor-
row morning will be the Rev. James
Clayton Mitchell. rector Of Calvary
Church, Germantown. Much of the
Easter music will be repeated at this
service. It is hoped that the club will
be largely represented, and an invita-
ton is extended to the public generally,
and to men especially, to attend the
service.
