URGES MARRIAGE REFORM
London Police Magistrate Says that
Vows Are Mostly Fiction.
Holds Husband should Set Aside at
Least Fifth of Earnings to In
sure Wife's Happiness.

London, July 2-No contract of mar
riage. declares Cecil Chapman, the Lon
don police magistrate, whose evidence
before the divorce commission was re-
Gently published, should be entered into
unless the man sets aside for the woman
at least one-ffth of his earnings. This
was one Of the suggestions made by Mr..
Chapman in an address on marriage de-
ivered under the auspices of the Women's
Freedom League.
Mr.. Chapman held that it was neces-
sary TO get rid OF the pstrlarchal view Of
marriage that woman became one with
her husband in consequence OF a service
that was pronounced over her and him.
The statement that the man endowed
the woman with all HIS worldly goods
was absolutely worthless. There would
not be so many scandals if the contract
entered into in church contained more
reality and less fiction
Half the misery which came before the
magistrates he said, was due to the
economic dependence Of women in mar
riage. The people who said that mar
riage was indissoluble were both pious
and cruel, and he did not want to have
anything TO do with them. Human nature
could not stand it and would not stand II.
and laws ought 10 be made to suit human
nature as it was and not as people
wanted it to be-

whether they have right to it or not,

tax for the privilege. and no one is al
lowed to use the royal arms on letter
paper unless specially permitted to do so
by the King or the court chamberlain.
Purveyors by appointment TO the King
hold this privilege under a special war
rant, which is usually prominently dis
played, gorgeously framed. in shop
windows. Ignorance or neglect of the
law on these points got William Whit
man, an American, into trouble.
At Tonbridge he was fined So with the
alternative of a months Imprisonment,
for using the royal arms without the per-
mission of the King. A witness stated
that he answered an advertisement for
home employment and received a reply
from the Imperial Stencil Company, I'M
der which name Whitman, traded with
the royal arms on the note paper This
engendered confidence, and he sent Whit
man IS cents and received two stencils
and orders for work This he carried
out, but he had never received payment
for it.
The police evidence was to the effect
that the prisoner In a few days received
over 100 letters containing postal orders.

JOHN BURNS In AFFLURNCE
Former Laborer of British Cabinet
Draws $4,000 a Year.
Once Said No Man Is Worth More
Than $4,000, but He Is Stiu
Living the Simple Life.

London, July 2-John Burns, ex-work-
man and now oAe Of his Britannia Majes-
TVS cabinet ministers, can afford to smile
at those who are always throwing It in
his teeth that he once said, NO man is
worth more than $3.50 a year" Honest
Johns department, the local government
board. has been raised, along with the
board OF trade, to the rank of a first
class state department and accordingly
the salaries of the heads have been raised
by parliamentary resolution from $1,000
to $4,000 a year.
This is not bad for man who, accord
ing TO his statement in who's Who" is
still learning and still struggling" His
former Socialist friends have shaken him
off. but with their exception the country
approves the prime minister's praise of
his colleagues for the assiduity and sin
gle-mindedness with which Mr. Burns has
administered his department" Mr.. Burns
has an effective way of slencing his
Socialist critics. He intends to devote his
increase of $4,000 to social and economic
projects in which he is interested. Ger
tainly he is not altering his plain way
of living. His modest house in the far
from aristocratie district of Battersea
still suits him.
He hates show of any sort, and his
wife would not be happy without her
homework. She keeps no servants, ex-
cept day girl and an occasional scrub
woman.

MOTIVE OF INALKA'S ATTACK

CATION Official.
Fired Shot to Prove He Was Not
Mad After His Tribulations in
Russian War.

Paris, July 2-The murderous attack
made by an inoffensive looking elderly
man on the first secretary Of the Swiss
Legation in Paris had an extraordinary
grievance as motive.
The assailant Seraphin Joseph An

the Russian side in the war with Turkey
and afterward became associated In a
commercial venture with some high Off
cials in St Petersburg When it came
to divide the profits his partners de-
nounced him to the authorities as a spy,
and he was sent 10 Siberia.
He escaped TO Switzerland and shot
the Russian minister through the arm.
The Swiss doctors pronounced him In
sane and sent him home to Austria.
where he spent some time in several
lunatic asylums. Two French aIenists
afterward pronounced him sane, and,
with his certificate Of sanity in his
pocket. he went to the Swiss Legation in
Paris and demanded moral and intelIec-
tual damages 10 the tune OF 100000.
The legation officials put him off with
vague promises, but he stuck 10 it, and
after six months posted himself at the
door of the legation with the intention
of shooting the first official who came
out This happened to be the first secre-
tary, DR.. Segesser. The latter lodged the
bullet, which grazed his leg.

UNIQUE CAUSE FOR SUICIDE.
French Naval officer Finds Grief
in Closely Cropped Hair.

account of a suicide committed for a
very odd reason by a naval officer
twenty-seven years Of age, who, since he
had failed TO suffocate himself with a
couple Of pans Of charcoal. lodged a bull
let in his heart.
The officers motive for putting an end
TO his days seems utterly absurd. but
il is gravely recorded in the dispatch
from Toulon. According to his explana-
ton, he paid a visit to a coiffeur two
months ago. and his hair was too closely
cropped and his appearance was COM
pletely changed.
This, it is said proved on his mind.
and he felt that he could live no longer
II might be thought that his hair, such
as IT was. would have had ample time to
grow In two months: but. at any rate.

a source of great worry to the ministers
