WALLS NOT SAFE
FOR NEW BUILDING
Opinion of Assistant Inspector Johnson
as to Grange Building-Flames
Broke Out This Morning.

The metal ceilings that were in the
Grange building when it was burned
Sunday night and which for the most
part are on top of the ruins in the
building have prevented the firemen
from getting water on the smouldering
mass inside the walls, and every little
while fire shows itself and the firemen
turn a stream on that portion of the
ruins.
Men were on duty there last night
until | clock, and this morning after
the smoke and flames had showed
themselves at the front of the building
they laid Il stream and worked from
the second floor windows at the front
John l.. Johnson, assistant buildin.
Inspector, said this morning that iii
his opinion there was no danger of the
front wall falling and that portion
Of Elliot street III front of the building
would be opened to traffic. He SAYS
that, in his opinion, no portion of the
walls is safe to be used in the con
struction of a new building, the in
tense heat having taken the necessar rs
life out of the mortar between the
bricks. making the walls unsafe for use
as walls of a new building.
q. o. Abbott 4 Son, who have had
headquarters with the Dewitt company
on Flat street since the fire, will move
this afternoon to Rex Benson s harness
shop on Elliot street, directly aeros.
the street from where their store wa.
burned. They will conduct Their
grocery and meat business there for the
present.

The ways of the gods are full of
providence.
For man can lose neither the past
nor the future; for how can one take
from him that which is not his9 So
remember these two points: first,
that each thing is of like form from
everlasting and comes around again in
its cycle, and that it signifies not
whether man shall look upon the
same things for a hundred years or
two, or for an infnity of time; second,
that the longest lived and the shortesi
lived man, when they come to die, lose
one and the same thing.
Let no act be done at haphazard
nor otherwise than according TO the
finished rules that govern its kind.
! Be not as one that hath ten Thousand
years to live; death is nigh at hand
while thou iyest, while thou hast
time, be good.
That which makes the man no wors,
| than he was makes his life no worse
it has no power to harm, without o
within.
i Waste not the remnant of thy life il
those imaginations touching other folk
whereby thou contributes not to tn
icommon veal.

Judge Barber Held that Sale of Dress
to Miss Knight Was Bona-Fide
and Gave Decision for S2.95.

The Michelman system won a deci-
sion before Judge +. L. Barber, sitting
as a justice yesterday afternoon, IN an
action against Amy knight of Jamaica
70 recover 1895, alleged to have been
due as a final payment on a suit pur-
chased of the firm by her on Dec. q
and which she returned after nine days
as unsatisfactory and asked for her
money back. Attorney r. C. Bacon
appeared for the plaintiffs and State s
Attorney A. V. ID. Piper was counsel
for Miss Knight. Judge Barber found
for the plaintiffs in the sum of 1926,
the amount claimed, and costs of 50.
According to the testimony, Miss
Knight appeared in the Michelman
Systems store Dee. - and looked at
dress. Later that day she came In
and tried it on, and certain alterations
were made in it. She called again at
80 that evening, paid So on total
purchase price of Ss.95 and took the
dress, promising to pay the balance
IN two days.
Five days later she informed the
firm that she. had not tried on the
dress and little later she took it to
4 Mrs. PrOuty. "a dressmaker in Ja-
maica, who informed her that it did
not fit and Miss Knight told her to
send it back.
Miss Knight claimed that the gar
ment was put back in stock with a
price tag on it, but Misses Burke and
Calvin. employees of the store, testified
| that it was place in the reserve rack
as sold.
The members of the firm testified
that they informed Miss Knight that
| they would allow her to exchange the
dress for some other but that she hal
said that she had seen another
elsewhere that she preferred. She de
manded her money back and the firm
/ demanded what was due them as the
balance of the sale.
Judge Barber held that it was {
hona-file sale and that the fact that
she had waited nine days before re
turning the dress gave the impressi OF
that there were other reasons than tn
alleged misfit of the dress for the re
turn of the garment and the refusa

Supreme Court of Wisconsin
Gives Decision Against
Marriage Statute
THE LIMITATION
is UNREASONABLE
And Material Impairment of the
Right of Persons to Enter into Matri-
mony-Case Will go to the Supreme
Court for Decision

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21. - The Wis
the issuance of marriage Licenses only
upon a certificate of clean bill of
health, including the Wasserman test,
from physician, was yesterday after
noon declared unconstitutional by
Judge T. c. Esehweiler of the circuit
court. The case wifi 20 to the supreme
court.
Judge Eschweiler held that the eu-
genies law was of unreasonable statu-
tory limitation so far as physicians
fees were concerned and that it was an
unreasonable and material impairment
of the right of persons to enter into
matrimony
The law is praised because of its
movement toward suppression of dis
ease, but is condemned because its en-
foreement is practically an impossible
ity.
| THE court held that if the state
wishes to exercise its right TO prevent
assume the burden of wedding out the
unfit and thereby not east upon the fit
an unfair demand and thus materially
impair an inalienable right.
The prayer of the plaintiff that the
law was class legislation by demanding
tests from men only is refused. The
Judge said that this was a legislative
right. He also overruled the objection
to the clause III the law which provide.
! that all examining physicians must b'
30 years old or older because that fea
ture of the law does not affect tn,
rights of the petitioner.
Alfred Peterson and Miss Hattie
Schmidt made application for mar
riage license Jan. 2, the day on which
the law went into fcrce. Clerk Wide
refused the application because III,
man did not have 6 certificate Of
health from a physician as demandel
I by the law.
Peterson Immediately sought recours,
in the courts and yesterdays s decision
by Judge Eschweiler will enable hin
TO secure the marriage license withou
the medical examination.
