Speaker Recommends q Years
as the Limit.
President Of EusenIo Society Explains
to English Royal Commission
His Views on Marriage
Certificate OF Fitness

London.-The eugenic view OF mat
rtmony, including the proposal to es-
tablish new age limit for marriage.
was explained to the royal commits
sion on divorce by Mr.. Montague
Crackenthorpe. K. c., president of
the Eugenic Society.
In this view, he said, marriage was
an institution designed, amongst other
things, for the continuance Of the
human race. 1t should, therefore, be
regulated by the community, which
had great interest in the children
born into It.
One-half of eugenic teaching was
concerned with the production of the
At, the other with the elimination Of
the unfit. So when certain defects
were present before marriage in one
of the intending parties the marriage
should not lake place. and II they de-
veloped after marriage it should be
dissoluble at the instance Of the I'M
'blemished party.
As to insanity. though in sense a
spouse was taken for better or for
worse, to propagate children "for
worse" was a wicked and selfish act
that must hinder the community's
progress. .a
1t is absolutely cruel that d man
should marry girl of whom he knows
very little-except that he has net
her in society and regarded her as a
charming obJect-and shortly after
marriage she should show herself of
unsound mind and has to be put away,
and that man is made celibate
against his will.
AS to the equality Of the sexes, it
was contended that there should be
perfect equality, but biologically the
sexes were not and never could be
made equal. The sexes started equal,
but with adolescence they differen-
tiated and nature had ordained that.
The sexes we're not equal, for you
must consider consequences. If sin
gle act on the part Of man be fol-
lowed by the same legal consequence
as misconduct on the part of a wife
divorce will be made too easy" for a
little collision would always bring
about divorce.
Marriage" continued Mr.. Crackan-
thorpe. should only be permitted aft

loose reins in hand, saw the banker
wade out waist, shoulder, neck deep,
and then disappear. The afternoon
tide rolled the dead body through the
spume upon the sand with the sea-
drift. Forty days thereafter the Bank
of California opened it's doors again,
but Forty-niners did not forget that
the man who had shared his coffee-pot
with Sharon had also accused him.

We're murdered; another died with a
point of steel between his ribs on the
heart side in what they called duel.
Getting back to Sharon, the Forty
miner, 1t should be said here that his
life was not always an open book. He
had his failings. Some time after the
death Of Mrs. Sharon, who had lived
to see him discard the cowhide boots
forever, Senator Sharon was sued by
plump, round-faced woman known to
contemporary divorce litigation as
Sarah Althea Hill. She entered into
the contest for Sharon's money with
energy and zeal. For reasons which
the distinguished senator very we'll
knew, she said, he had refrained from
acknowledging her as his wife. Her
counsel was David s. Terry.
Broderick the Next Victim.
Odd how men and matters shaped
themselves in those days. Terry was
leader of the southern California
Democrats, who had his trousers made
with ample pistol pockets. He was
elected chief justice of the California
supreme court, and had served Just
long enough to become familiar with
the judicial routine when he and Sena-
tor David C. Broderick, entertaining
conflicting Importance, adopted the
hair-trigger method of settlement at
the prescribed i15 PAGES. Terry re.
signed his judgeship, having regard for
ethics. and went to the duelling field.
Broderick waited for the second. Ter.
ry split it and fired. Broderick fell
dead.
Judge Stephen ]. Field. who later
became the chief justice of the Su.
preme court Of the United States, had
gone to California in its widest days,
and had held court at Marysville Camp
with rude dignity on a barrel head,
became chief justice to succeed Terry.
Later Terry pleaded the cause of his
robust client before Field. Sharon
died, but Sarah Althea Hills suit lived
on. Terry one day surprised his
friends by marrying his client. The
fight to establish his wife's claim to
the Sharon fortune took on new en-.
ergy.
In the meantime Judge Field had
been appointed to the United States
circuit court. and the woman's suit
was jumped into that tribunal at a
time when the supreme court of Cali
fornia had decided that there had
been secret marriage between Sarah
Althea Hill and Sharon. Justice Field
ordered the cancellation of the mar
riage contract on the ground of
forgery. The woman in the case, in a
burst of rage, rose in court and asked
the Judge how much he had been paid

TELL GOOD STORY ON ELKlNs
Late Senator's Struggle With Razor

The news of the death of United
States Senator Stephen B. Elkins was
a topic of conversation at the Wal
dorf and the Belmont yesterday, for
the late senator used to stop at one
or the other of these hotels whenever
he came to New York. The last time
he was here, about the middle of Au-
gust, he spent ten days at the Bel
mont.
On that visit the senator uninten-
tionally gave the information clerks a
lot of trouble. 1t was his habit upon
arriving to impress upon them that
he did not wish to see visitors. IF
anybody asks for me-" he said the last
time, you can Just say am not

not in the hotel. he would often take
seat in the lobby, and of course
would be spotted by callers who had

DR.. Chambers, joint editor OF the

The knowledge that insanity was a
ground for divorce would have a pre-
judicial effect on the mental health Of
some people. and would distress the
minds and retards the recoveries OF
many of the insane who were under
care.
The last witness Of the day was Dr.
G. H. Savage. the famous mental ex-
pert. who has forty years experience
in the treatment Of the insane. He
had written to medical officers of
asylums asking whether insanity was
a justifiable ground for divorce, re.
