Milwaukee,, Wis, Dec. 23.-The
Wisconsin eugenic marriage law which
will 70 into effect January ], and
which has created a statewide discus
sion, received a severe blow today
when H B. Walmsley, an attorney,
issued a statement that u marriage

sary, and therefore the eugenic meas
ure was use less.
"All that is required in this state
Is that two persons who ale not mar
ried ut the time, agree to accept each
other as mates" said Mr.. Walmsey.
"No service Is necessary aud the pnysi-
cal examination required by the late
law cannot be enforced" The con
tenton of Mr.. Walmsley is based on
q decision of the state supreme court
of April y. 1913. The decision says
that any man OF woman not married at
the time may make a legal aud valid
contract of marriage without any
license, medical examination, clergy.
man OF magistrate. All that is re.
quired Is that two persons agree 10

begin to live together in that rela-
tion.
No written statement or witnesses
are required, but the court suggested
that for the benefit Of both parties it
would be we'll to sign an agreement
as follows:
"The persons who have signed this
paper on this day take each other
for husband and wife. being then 10

gin to live together as husband and
wife"
The court also suggested that there
be duplicate copies of the agreement.
Then If either party wishes the paper

of deeds all that is necessary il to
have witnesses sign it, pay a notary

FIVE HUNDRED DIE
IN LAVA STREAMS
Heavy Loss Of Life on the Is
land Of Ambrym.

Sydney, N. s. W., Dec. 23.-Incom.
ing steamers bring details of the re-
cent volcanic eruptions on the island
of Ambrym, in the New Hebrides
group, in which 500 natives lost their
lives.
Witnesses of the disturbance de-
scribe it as having been so sudden
and violent that they expected to see
the whole western side OF the island
disappear.
With a terrific roar, followed by a
rapid succession of artillerylike deto-
nations, all the craters of the volcano
entered into full capacity, spouting
flames and lava and throwing out
huge boulders.
Great streams of lava rushed down
the slopes, cutting off the villagers
from escape.
In n instance two torrents of the
molten mass Joined and make an is
land of M entire section of a viii
lage. Here fifty or sixty persons per-
ished.
The bay after the eruption was
filled with dead fish and huge num-
bers of dead turtles. The water in
the river was hot.

THREE-CENT RATE ON JAN.
Roads to Charge That Fare for Short
Distances.

st. Paul. Dec. 23.-Minnesota rail-
roads have decided on a method of
applying the Bendixen 2-cent pas
senger fare law, effective Jan. 1,
which meets with the approval of the
state railroad commission. The net
result OF this enactment will be the
increase Of rates for distances up to
five miles from 2 to 3 cents a mile.
The law was passed by the legisla-
lure because of the general belief
that Minnesota would lose the rate
case before the federal supreme
court. 1t established a 2-cent rate
for roads earning $1,000 q mile or
over on passenger traffic, but pro-
vided that the companies should
charge 3 cents for distances up to
five miles. Minnesota. however, won
the rate case and fiat 2-cent fare has
since applied to all distances.
