charge Of improperly obtaining the re-
lease Of a man arrested; telling UNI
truths in connection with the case. and
inducing private individuals to do the
same: further absent from division"
The sentence with which the terse Of
fetal report ends is: Considered UNI
ut to remain. in the police force, and
dismissed without pay"
The allegations that are hidden be-
hind this brief official summary are
among the most extraordinary that
have ever been brought against de-
tective of the criminal investigation
department
The dismissed detective. who was for
some years IA the police force ana re-
Gently passed his examination as de-
tective sergeant, is charged with hav-
ing been in the company of thieves and

forward dramatically:
II know this man: he is a friend OF
mine and cannot be the man you want,
he said. producing his Scotland Yard
warrant card. He then turned to a po-
lice sergeant to confirm his statement
and the other man was at once released
Later, when further complaints were
made by passengers. the facts were

WOMEN ASK REFORM
OF MARRIAGE VOWS
Want Church Service Framed on
Lines of Truth and Dig

FARCE NOW, THEY URGE
MANCHESTER. March IS.

MANCHESTER March IS
Lady McI4aren submitted proposals re-
garding the rights and liberties of women
| shire and Cheshire, held In this city yes
terday. The women's charter. as 1t Is
called. contains suggested reforms which
are to be embodied in fifteen or sixteen
bills and presented TO the House of Com
mons.
One OF the proposals Lady sicI4aren
makes In that the House of Commons
shall be asked to request the bishops OF
the Church of England. in conyocatfon. to
draw up new marriage service in ac-
cordance with womaniy dignity and legal
truth. Lady McI.aren, In submitting this
proposal. said:
".rhere is no doubt Of the inferior posi-
tion of women In this country. and we
think the reason we are 80 treated by the
working and other classes Is because the
church and especially the church marriage
service, encourages such treatment. The
marriage service of the Church OF England
says:
Wives. submit yourselves unto your bus,
bands as unto the Lord. for tine llsaoand
Il the head M the wife even as Christ is
the head OF the church
This" said Lady McLaren. compares
the husband to god. / do not deny
their many godlike qualities, but | do not
think man can cfairu to have the rtftfsor4-
ity of God. II they do claim it. they don't
get II.
1T Is very curious thing that the
church should insist on these vows, for
they cannot possibly be kept. In the Jew
ish ceremony there is nothing OF the kind.
neither is there In the Roman Catholic or
Noncenformist forms of service. women
married In all these churches can keep
their vows. but woman married In the
Church of England cannot do so.
Then there is this false VOW
with all my worldly goods thee endow.
".rhe husband says that In the presence
of God and the assembled company, 1t
is not the truth. ii is one great humping
lie There Is no other word for It,
The meeting agreed to protest and call
upon the bishops to remove these objec-
tionabfe statements from the marriage
service The meeting also agreed that the
law of divorce should be amended so as 70
entitie either party to divorce ON the
ground Of unfaithfulness alone.

Nothing In the long history of British
boyhood has established so rapid and
powerful an influence as this new order of
youthful chivalry. Every day the num-
bers Of the boyish army obtain fresh re-
Inducements, and the measure of it's
value finds continual illustration In the
contrast between the boys WHO are still
outside and those who are within the
movement. -----
Little did General Baden Powell dream
when two years ago he gathered about
him a band OF boys and taught them how
to play at great and cunning games with
nature herself and all her secrets for
their playfellow that these few enthusl
asts would in a few short months expand
into afi exceedingly great army covering
every province of the empire. In reality

Fisher says he resigned to enlist
in the navy, probably the dogs of war
need his services more than the dogs
of Annapolis. He has made a good
dog catcher, even at the risk of his
life. Some few years ago he was
badly bitten on the hand by a rabid
