Judge Frank l. Duncan, Of the cir
cult court in Baltimore, Md, declared
that no license would be issued for
the marriage Of William Still, sixty.
five years old, of Parkton, Baltimore
county and his twelve-yeaR-Old house
keeper Bertha Groves.
Judge Duncan explained that while
the law does not specify ct what age
persons may marry with the consent
Of their parents, his judgment would
make him forbid the granting Of the
license because Of the tender age Of
the girl.
william StiFl, accompanied by the
girl, appeared at the Towson court
house, and after showing the written
consent OF her parents to the mar
rage, asked for a license. He was re-
fused because the paper was not sign
ed by two other witnesses.

Onthe walls of the Pennsylvania State
Capitol at Harrisburg are fifteen wonderful
allegorical paintings by Violet Oakley de-
picting the rise and final triumph of the idea
of liberty of conscience in the founding by
William Penn of the "Holy Experiment of
Pennsylvania"
These pictures are now for the first time
reproduced in color, this being made pos
sible by recent inventions and Improvements
in color plate making processes, which
enable the four color separations to be made
direct from the walls at one exposure of the
camera, while a perfect full color copy OBJ
tained by the Lumiere color photography
process was taken into the engraving room
as guide in making the printing plates so
as to reproduce even the most delicate
shades of the artists original.
The only reproductions hitherto obtain
able were carbon photographs which have
sold in art stores for $3.50 for each picture.
At a great expense, greater than was
ever before undertaken by any newspaper,

last day today. Closing speeches will
be made tonight and tomorrow the
voters will decide whether Edward e.

William E. Sulzer, the deposed gov
ernor, progressive candidate for the
assembly, published today letters and

inquiries into the alleged Tammany
corruption. L. -. -
Sulzer is to make his final cam
paign speech on the East Side tonight.
although he claims he has been
threatened with assassination is he
does.
The Republicans predicted they
would gain control of the lower

basing their hopes on democratic dis
affection through the removal of
Governor SulZer.
