DECISION IS POSTPONED.
Chicago Lawyers Puzzled by Divorce
Case Complications.

CHICAGO, April "a situation unique
in the annals of the courts of this state
and puzzling TO the lawyers involved
arose today I'm Judge Petit's court.
Recently William NJ Marshall, known
socially as an exhibitor Of biooded horses,
sued his wife. Blanche r. Marshall, for
divorce.
Mrs. Marshall married the plaintiff six
days after her divorce from Robert III.
Mullens. her first husband. The suit had
been on hearing for two days VIXEN yes
terday Judge Petit suddenly threw the
case out. asserting that the marriage OF
the Marshalls. under the law prohibiting
the remarriage within a year of divorced
persons. was illegal. This ruling de-
prived the three-year-old child of the liti-
giants Of legal parentage.
Today Leslie II. Whipp. attorney for
Mrs. Marshall. declared in court that
Mrs. Marshall was only fifteen years OF
age when she ran away to st. Louis and
married Mullens without the consent of
her parents He asserted that her mar
rage to Mullens was therefore illegal,
which. being the case, her marriage to
Marshall was perfectly legitimate.
Judge Petit told the lawyers to appear
before him next Monday for considera-
ton of the problem.

BUILDER OF: CHALLENGER
COUNTS ON LIFTING CUP
Enghshman Believes Ho0do0
=. Will Help Upton Defeat
Americans.

LONDON. April 9.-''The luck will all
be with us this time The challenger is
the four-leafed Shamrock, while the New
York Yacht Club will be defending the
Americas cup for the thirteenth time. -
said Charles Z. Nicholson today. NichoI-
son Is to design the Upton boat which
will seek to win back for the British
the Americas cup.
This will not be Nicholson's first con-
nection with the contests for the cup.
His yards at Gosport used to dock the
original America when she was under re-
pair. Nicholson added today:
tI wish to correct the unfortunate i'm
preston prevailing in the United States
that / am afraid of q ninety-foot yacht
/ believe I could build one which could
cross the Atlantic ocean safely. But a
seventy -five-footer which, under present
circumstances. is as large and expensive
as the ninety-foOter Of twenty years ago,
is the boat which prudence and reason
dictate.
Admires Americans.
81 have the greatest admiration for the
genius and cleverness of American de-
signers. These. coupled with the fact that
all the conditions are in favor Of the
defender, make the task of designing a
challenging yacht one of the keenest in
terest, calling for every ounce of ability
may possess.
Il hope Gardner as We'll as Herreshoff
will be given a chance TO design the de-
fender. If SO, the preliminary races will
be almost as interesting as the final cup
contest
II have already erected shed at the
Gosport yards for the challenger, and
have her plans well under way. | expect
to launch her in April, 1914.
Il hope in case the Americas cup re-
turns to the British Isles that the result
will be the formation of code governing
all international yacht racing"
Upton Sends Challenge.
Sir Thomas Upton, the British yachts
man. yesterday sent All unconditional
challenge for a series of races for the
Americas cup, and after ten years un
disturbed possession of the trophy Ameri-
can yachtsmen must again prepare to de-
fend it.
Sir Thomas Idpton's challenge was
cabled to the New York Yacht Club
through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
After the challenge had been sent Sir
..They will now either have to race or
give me the cup.

First Line-Up in House, Where
Democrats Hold Caucus
to Pass Bill.
PRESIDENT IN EFFORT
TO EFFECT HARMONY
Expects to Talk Personally to Sena-
tors Disposed to Oppose Admin
istration's Policy.

Battling over the tariff began in
earnest today among the democrats in
Congress- The first lineup occurred
in the House, where the majority party
held caucus to pass upon the bill
presented by their colleagues of the
ways and means committee.
President Wilson followed up with
resolution and firmness his initial step
of yesterday toward injecting the per-
sonal equation into the tariff situa-
ton. He announced that he would visit
the Capitol at o'clock this afternoon
and confer with democrats of the Sen
ate finance committee. This conference
is with view to smoothing the way in
advance for the tariff bill and promot-
ing general agreement among demo-
Gratis to stand by all the schedules.
Such action is deemed necessary in
view of the reported forming of COM
DlnatlonS among senators concerned
over the rates involved in the wool,
sugar, cotton goods and agricultural
schedules. President Wilson is doing
more than meeting the challenge thus
implied he is invoking it.

beings in q common service.
