PROTEST AGAINST CHURCH
SERVICES IN MARRIAGE

CHICAGO, April 15.-Members of
the Women's party of Illinois are o'\/
record today as favoring the aboli-N
ton of church services in marriages
and adhering strictly to the civil cere-
mony That religious ceremony is
no longer necessary was the gist Of
resolution adopted at the annual
convention at the Hotel La Sale. The
resolution was presented by Mrs. Ly-
dia Parce and will go as an open
letter to the legislature, urging that
body to resist all attempts of the
churches to dictate civil legislation.
Another resolution adopted read:
Under the regime of 'sanctity,' the
race has become 85 per cent infected
with deadly disease and white slavery
has grown to gigantic proportions,
while insanity, delinquency and crime
are increasing much faster than the
population.

LA PLATA TO ACCEPT
STATE ROAD FUND

The $4,000 appropriation made by
the state highway for La Plata county
is assured. The commissioners have
agreed to meet the requirements of
the commission and appropriate S12,-
900 for the state highway in La Plata
county. However, a resolution to that
effect will not be introduced at the
present session as the board desires
further information regarding the ex-
penditure of the money. On the III
miles of state highway within La
Plata's borders there are two bridges
to be constructed, one Immediately be-
low town and one at Carbon. The
commissioners figure if these could
be built at the same time a consid-
cradle saving would be effected, hence
they are awaiting the decision of the
advisory board before taking definite
action.
The estimated cost of the two
bridges is in the neighborhood of
$4,000 which would leave $4,000 fol
road work. In addition to this the
county has nearly $25,0O0 for the
| 200 miles of county highways, which
represents the regular county appro-
priations.

BARS MUSICAL AUTO HORNS.

PARIS, April 15.-The musical au-
tomobile horns which threatened to
fill the main streets of Paris with
snatches of popular or classical airs
instead of the usual "honk, honk" have
come to quick finish in France.
A test case was brought against
two motorists of Douai, who enliven-
ed the night trumpeting the leitmotiv
of "Die Walkure,7 and it has been
decided that these instruments are il
legal here. The decision brought out
judicial definition of the word
"horn" which had hitherto been rather
widely interpreted.
"The latter" said the judge, "must
be for the purpose of sounding an
alarm and be used to warn the pub
lie, not to amuse it. 1t must give
forth a single note which should be
grave, even sinister, in order to call
attention to the impending danger,
"The new fanfare horns," added the
judge, "lack seriousness, and are
therefore outside the meaning of the
act"

NEW LIBEL RULING.

A new interpretatinn of the libel
laws was made by the supreme court
when it held that the publication in
newspapers of charges and affidavits
fled in court before ie ere is testi-
mony proving their truth, is libelous.
1t has hitherto beer held the lazy
that IA newspaper could publish any
thing of court record without lay
ing itself open to Libel. The new rule
laid down by the supr ne court would
make it libelous even to publish in
formation filed by the district attor-
ney or an indictment fetlrned by :.
grand jury should the defendants la
ter be found not guilty.
The courts decision was handed
hond in the case of Rozene Meeker
against the Denver Post Publishing
company, reversing the judgment OF
the lower court. The defendant news
paper published charges and affida-
yits filed in suit instituted against
the plaintiff by relatives. These
charges and affidavits. the court de-
clares libelous, and the newspaper by
publishing them was liable for dam
ages to the plaintiff.
"These publications (the various
newspapers against which Miss Nee
ker filed libel suits) in part stated
that certain libelous charges, naming
them, were made and set forth in a
complaint and certain affidavits filed
in civil suit then pending against
the plaintiff. The publication of the
contents of these papers was before
trial and before any action had taken
place on such pleadings or papers in
such cases. 1t appears to be con-
ceded that the publications were in
no sense privileged. When the pub
lication is not privileged the rule is
that when the libelous articel is pub
lished as being alleged in q complaint
, it is not sufficient as defense tc
show that it was thus alleged, but
the truth of the charge must be
shown"
Justice Hill wrote the opinion and
Chief Justice Musser and Justice Cab
, bert concurred.
: John T. Bottom, attorney for the
Post, will file a motion for rehearing
