MOTHERS PLEA DENIED
TO ANNU[ MARRIAGE
Justice Mccoy Rules in the Case of
Mrs. Lucy Young for
Daughter.

Justice Mccoy of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia has rem
dered an opinion that the marriage of
girl more than fourteen years and
less than eighteen years. when a mar
riage license has been obtained even
by misrepresentation. may not be an
nu1led for that reason. The court points
out that the requirements of the code
in regard to obtaining licenses and a
consent of parents are directory only,
and the penalties prescribed are the
only ones that can be imposed for vio-
lations. The penalties named are i'm
prisonments for perjury or false swear
ing.
There is no provision OF the code to
the effect that marriages which are
solemnized in pursuance of license
said Justice Mccoy. obtained by false
swearing or without the consent of q
parent may be declared void
Court Quotes Section of Law.
Section 1855 controls the matter. the
court finds This section provides that
a marriage may be annulled when
either of the parties is under the age OF
consent. which is thereby declared to
be sixteen ycp.s for males and four
teen years for females.
The court, acting on.this opinion, de-
cided to dismiss the bill brought by
Lucy Young, mother of Agnes Garner.
who was married to Arthur Garner last
summer when the girl was only four
teen years old. The mother claimed
she had never consented to the issuance
of a marriage license and asked that
the marriage be annulled.

ropes war orphans and their widowed

for the sufferers by war, contributed
by boys and girls and grown-ups of

loaded into the big freight car, which
the Pennsylvania railroad has donated,
for transportation to Brooklyn, where
the naval collier Jason, designated by
the Secretary of the Navy as the
Christmas ship, is to receive it's cargo.

That Is one week from tomorrow.
