OECAS1ElLANE STILL MARRIED
VATICAN REFUSES TO ANNUl.
HIS MARRIAGE.
Decision 10 Not to Recognize Count'r
Separation From Anna
Gould.

Rome, Dec. 27.-The vatican has de.
clined to grant Count De Castellane an
annulment of his marriage with Anna
Gould, who is now the duchess of Tai.
leyrand and Sagan. Countess De Cas-.
tellane was granted divorce from
her husband and given the custody OF
their three children on Nov. IA, 1906.
About year ago Count Boni ap.
piled to the vatican for annulment OF
the marriage.
For several months past the congre.
cation of the council has had under
advisement the process received from
the archbishop of Paris concerning
the case. When Monsignor Annette,
archbishop of Paris, came to Rome re.
Gently to receive the red hat, he gave
to the pope and Cardinal Gennari,
project of the congregation of the
council, all the details in his posses.
sion concerning the case and the situa.
ton of the parties involved.
Count BOni came to Rome on De-
cember 20 for the purpose of using
all possible influences to obtain his OBJ
ject. In this he was not opposed by
the duchess of Talleyrand.
The decision of the congregation or
council, however, rejected his petition
for the annulment. The ground OF
which the application was denied was
summarized as follows:
"A marriage celebrated and con-
summated, If performed according to
the law of the church as until proved
to the contrary, as it was in the case
Of the Castelline-Gould marriage, Is in
dissoluble. There are certain impede
ments which if existing before the mar
riage, can prevent its celebration, or,
if celebrated in ignorance of them,
render the marriage invalid, in which
case the church can proclaim that the
union of the parties never in reality
existed. But in the arguments
brought forward by De Castellane no
such impediments have been shown"
Count Boni left here for Paris. He
expects to return to Rome about the
middle Of January. 1t is thought he
will bring forward new points or
which to base another application for

cision, nor by the provisions Of the
Moon law in the opinion of many who
have studied legislative customs IN
this state. The state department Of
Justice declines to give an od-hand
opinion on the question. The point
which is raised is that the Moon
law does not specify that it shall ap-
ply to special charter cities.
In behalf of this position Y is urg.
ed that in all other legislating cities
and towns in Iowa, including liquor
legislation, the legislature passing the
law has included the phrase and
special charter cities or cities act.

that they were intended to be includ.
ed in the provisions of the law.
Section / of the Moon law, which
is chapter 142 of the laws of the
Thirty.third general assembly, says
the council "of cities and towns" but
fails to specify special charter cities.
If this contention is correct, then
the FIVE cities named are in no way
affected BY the law itself or the re-
cent ruling as to the meaning Of the
law.
1t is also held that q commission

Those opposing the idea that spe.

in the Moon law provisions say that
II this be SO then the law is uncon.
stitutional as not being uniform.
They contend that the law applies to
ell cities and towns in the state alike
and that it was not the intention of
the legislature to exclude special
charter cities from its provisions.
The raising Of this question leaves
considerable confusion and enables
