Trial marriages for sweet sixteen
arc promised as a result of the recent
decision of Justice Kelly in favor OF
Mrs. Gladys Robinson Greene IN
Long Island.
The court dccreed that, although the
marriage was performed with the con-
sent OF the brides parents, 1t could
be nullifed. because she was only M,
teen wears old. The opinion IS added
that this practically opens the door
10 trial marriages for all under
eighteen. A boy and girl who marry
under that age can have their mar
riage annulled at the wish Of either
before they have passed eighteen.
at is a good thing" said Mrs. Har-
riette Johnston Wood, the suffragist
LAWYER, Yesterday, land it would be
better still if the law gave the same
freedom 20 women over eighteen.
How can one tell if she likes welded
life until she has tried it? In the case
Of very young girls 1t is even more
important that there should be an
avenue Of escape. because girls of
fifteen certainly do not know enough
TO tie themselves up for life.
81 trust that. when our society gets
a little more liberal we will allow the
same privilege TO older people. ! be
lieve in making a great many more
grounds for annulment Of marriage.
At present in New York State divorce
can be secured on only one ground,
and annulmcnt only on grounds which
do not apply in the majority of cases.
"The conditions for annulment are
that one Of the persons be under age,
mentally or physically deficient. a
criminal, or already have husband
or wife. Those conditions offer no re
lief, you see. in the great majority Of
cases where people are unhapplly
married
"Frecdom M divorce would be
great instrument for happines. People
want TO be happily married. II they
are 80 married, you can't drag them

SENTENCE SLAYER
TO 5-YEAR TERM
Man Who Pleaded Guilty to
Abducting Girl Goes to
Sing Sing.

FREDERICK Carfaro, twenty-one, who
pleaded guilty to abducting sixteen
year-old Josephine Waller TO force her
into slavery, was sentenced TO Sing
Sing by Judge Gibbs, in The Bronx,
Yesterday for the maximum term of
from five to ten years.
Carfaro was declared to be train
err for white slavers. He lured the
girl from her home, at 1913 Washington
av., took her TO dinner and proposed
marriage. The next morning she awokc
in a strange house and found three
other girls there, who said they had
been similarly entrapped within the
week.
A plea for leniency was made by his
counsel and Carfaro begged to be al
lowed to marry the girl.
This was the first Of the cases aris-
ing out Of the rescue of Mrs. Della
Hanson, a young widow from Bridge
port. Conn, who was found unclad and
half crazed. a prisoner of Carfaro's
gang, in house in East 146th st. The
trial in the second case, that against
Francesca Machilotte. a Port Chester
was started.
Machilotte's attorney. William c..
Keir. attempted to obtain postpone
ment on the ground that he had not
had time to get an analysis Of the evil
dence. Judge Gibbs told him the week
end would afford him plenty Of time.
After the jury had been sworn Della
Nealy Hanson, the widow from Bridge
port, began telling how the gang
caught her the day she arrived here,
NAV %, and beat her until she was
bruised all over every time she at
tempted TO escape. A photograph Of
her body showing the marks was pro-
duced
But the heat in the courtroom be-
came so intense Judge Gibbs had to
adjourn. Before doing so he ruled that
the prosecution should not use the
term white slavery" He also an
nounced that as he was going on his
vacation another judge would take the
rest Of the cases.

lieve girls should not marry until they

if they marry younger than that What
if the girls are older? Marriages turn
out better when the wife is older. Men
don't like fy-away, empty-headed little
doll babies for wives any more.
THE way to prevent such trial mar
riages from becoming frequent is TO
train children TO an understanding OF
their responsibility and the serious
ness of marriage. Young girls OF TO
day aren't so ignorant of life as they
used to be. They can't be if they read
the newspapers. think It well that
they should read them. too. They
should know that trial marriages are
possible, but that no wise girl wants
one. For those who enter into mar
riage ignorantly. the easier the escape
the better.
"The idea of escape is. Of course, the
idea in the minds OF the trainers Of
the law. They did it for the protec-
ton of girls who should be lured into
marriage before they were old enough
to understand IT, The court never
came out for trial marriages. That is
what it amounts TO. however. and the
sooner We have a free and frank dis
cussion Of the question Of trial mar
riage for everybody, the better we

WIN $4,000 AFTER
II YEARS OF SUITS
R. H. Macy & Co. Receive
Check from Publishers
by Arbitration.

After litigation that Legan. twelve
Years AGO in the New York Supreme
Court and went TO the United States
Supreme Court, r. II. Macy & co: en-
tered Judgment in the Supreme Court
yesterday for $4,000 against the
American Publishers Association and
The American Booksellers Association.
The Judgment was paid at once by
certified check.
The suit was the outgrowth OF the
defendants rule which fixed the retail
price of their productions. K. II. Macy
& Co. resented the effort of the book
publishers to compel them to adhere to
this fixed price system.
The United States Supreme Court
decided that the Macy firm had been
damaged. but did not fix the amount.
Frederic R. Coudert was appointed as
referee to ascertain how much the
publishing companies should pay.
Before any hearings, however.
Charles l.. Bernheimer, chairman OF
the newly organized arbitration COM
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce,
offered his services, which were ac-
cepted. Through his efforts the agree,
ment for the payment of the $4,000
WAS reached.

Decision Was Fair.

Captain W. T. Turner Of the Cunard-
er Aquitania, without making particu-
lar effort yesterday TO duplicate his
time record for docking, berthed the

Robert c. Vernon, who managed the
Ritchie-Welsh fight in London, re-
turned on the Aquitania, accompanied
by George Considine. He said he had
lost money on Richie. but that the
decision was a fair one, as Richie
never had a chance TO win against
Welsh on points.
"In finish fight" he declared, "Rit-
chic would whip Welsh. saw the
MoranJohnson fight and thought
Johnson as good as ever. Moran never
had chance of winning. There is no
man living to-day, white or black, who
can defeat Johnson, except George
Considine.
George is not a professional pugi
list, but Johnson is afraid of him. He
has the hypnotic high sign on Big
Jack, and, If they ever met in an en-
counter out of the ring, Considine
would come out of the mix-up as cham
pion heavyweight of the world
Throughout the fight George sat in
Moran's corner asking the big negro
questions and always receiving polite
answers. I tell you, Jack is afraid of
George"
Miss Vida Milholland. a sister of
Mrs. Eugene Boissevain. returned on

study abroad.
Among others arriving were Give

THIS ''GRUB STAKE"
MELTED S47,496
German Soldier Fights in Court
to Retain His Share of
Venture.

When Emil Propelle was a soldier
Of the German Empire and stationed
in South Africa, ne grub staked' a
friend in mining venture. His share
turned out TO be bag of diamonds,
said 10 be worth S47,496. When
Propelle arrived in the United States,
April "a, after his term of enlistment
expired, carrying his wealth with him,
he was accused Of smuggling the gems
into this country.
Yesterday his case came up in the
Criminal Branch of the Federal Court
with George Gordon Battle as his at
torney. The former soldier tried TO
explain why he hadn't violated the law
Of 1909, requiring all diamonds found
after that date in Southwestern Africa
should be turned over to the German
government.
Propelle told how he staked a
prospector from his savings, and how
he was to get half the findings OF the
miner. The agreement was kept and
the soldier obtained as his share the
pint or so of rough stones upon which
the smuggling charge is based. At the
time, the soldier said. small diamonds
were plentiful in the district and the
law recurring the surrender OF them
to the German government, had not
been passed.
After leaving the army Propelle said
he took his wealth and sailed for this
country from Liverpool where he was
not required to pay duty on the stones.
and he had no knowledge Of the 10 per
cent duty here until he tried TO dis
pose Of them. Then he went TO the
Custom House 70 arrange for the pay
ment Of the duty and was arrested as
a smuggler
Propellc exhibited an honorable dis
charge from the German army and
medals for bravery. The trial will be
continued to-day.
