Eugenic Laws Played Havoc With
Marriages i'm Wisconsin.

There were 1884 fewer weddings
in Wisconsin during the first five
months of this year than during the
corresponding period of 1918. This
decrease is laid entirely to the new
"eugenic" marriage law. Probably
the effect of that law is even greater
than these figures indicate. Until
the outbreak of the war, this year
has been a more prosperous one than
last, and good times always mean an
increase in the number of mar
riages.
What has happened to the 5000
or 1000 young people of Wisconsin
whose natural and proper desire to
found new homes has been checked
by this new law?
The well-to-do among them have
made little. excursion, and been
married outside the State. That is

those who have the price.

All elements seemed to combine

Thursday morning, however, Old

Marconi Wireless Will Wage Fight
in Court.


New York, Sept. 21.-John W.
Griggs, president of the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company OF
America. announced today to fight
in the courts the right of the govern
ment to regulate it's operations.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
threatened to close the company's
wireless plant at Siasconset, Mass,
unless a prompt and satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION is forthcoming as to why
the company handled an unneutral
message from a British cruiser off
the coast of New Jersey to British
admiralty agent in New York ask
ing for supplies.
"Our attitude is exactly the same
as it was before" Mr.. Griggs said.
"As to Secretary Daniels charge that
we did not submit a satisfactory re-
ply, we simply stated that the gov
eminent lacked both the power and
the right to interfere with our BUSH
ness. The government threatens to
bring naval regulations into play in
order to effect the closing of our
plant. Secretary Daniels seems to
be under the impression that the
United States at this time is being
governed by military law. He is
sadly mistaken. Furthermore. we
have not violated the neutrality Of
the United States" .

"WE1S" WIN In
Three COUNTIES
Christian, DavieSs and Nc
Cracker Vote Saloons.
Daviess County Votes "Dry" By
300, While 0wensboro Gives
9s2 For "Wets."

In three Kentucky counties
Christian, Daviess and McCracken-
| where option elections were held
yesterday the "wets' scored in
every. instance over the "drys" by
majorities ranging from 800 to 500
votes.
These were the only counties in
which wet or dry" elections were
held. twelve others having elected
to vote next Monday, September
%. These include: Fayette. Mason,
Carroll, Boone, Henderson, Bourbon,
Scott, Montgomery, Clark, Bell,
Shelby and Anderson Counties.
On Daviess the county outside the
city of greensboro went dry by 800
woes while in the city the '.wets"
hadNa majority of S52.
McCracken, outside the city. gave
the .'drys" a majority of 597 while
the city of Paducah gave the "wets"
q majority Of 1891. ,...
In Christian county. the "wets"
majority was 5S5. The result was a
surprise to the anti-saloon men who
believed they would be able to cut
down the votes of the liquor forces
in the cities Of Hopkinsville and
Pembroke. Both Of these cities
went wet" the latter by a close
margin.
In Daviess County where victory
had been expected by the "wets" the
advocates of licensed saloons, follow
ing announcements of the vote, pa
raded streets headed by the third
Regiment band. Cheering crowds
greeted the marchers in the business
districts where the saloons are To-
Gated but when the paraders travers-
ed the residential thorofares they
were Kissed and jeered.
The "drys" in McCracken County
announced as soon as the result was
known that they would be ready three
years hence to dispute the right of
licensed saloons to do business in the
county or the city of Paducah.
Col. Tom Gilmore. president ofthe
National Model License League, in
commenting on the results of the
elections said: People are beginning
to become aware of the fact that
prohibition. whether by State or
county, does not prohibit and is not
intended to prohibit as all of these
so-called prohibitory laws make it
legal for people living in dry terri
tory to have liquor shipped to them
thru interstate channels. AS a re-
suit the indisputable figures of the
Internal Revenue Department show
that with increase of dry territory
we invariably have increases in the
of beer and whiskey.
II am convinced that voters in
the counties where elections were
held made close study of the ques-
tion."

Kaiser In Contempt With New York
Court.

New York, Sept. Let is be-
lieved here that Emperor William of
Germany may be in contempt with
the Supreme Court of the State of
New York. Whether he is aware of
this or not is not likely, however,
to cause him any considerable am
cunt of worry. This peculiar situa-
tion arises from the fact that some
one in Germany. presumably the
Emperor, is responsible for the call
ing to their colors of two German
captains from this country. The
captains are the husbands of two
daughters of a doctor and chemist
who died a couple Of years ago, leav-
ing large estate. His will author
lied his executors to rent his city
house to his unmarried children un-
til 1881 at an annual rental of ST.
900. At the end of that period the
executors could sell the property to
any of the children for 100000.
Just before the war began a gener-
al legal mixup started due to the ef
forts of third married daughter to
secure the residence. her claim being
disputed by a son, the only unmar-
ried child. To settle the question
one of the executors brought action
in the Supreme Court to construe
the will. The two captains wera
important witnesses, and by remoy-
ing them from the jurisdiction of the
court after the action had started.
1t is held that either the Emperor or
his agents are in contempt Of court.
However. just what the court can do
about II does not appear. e..

No hostility toward the French was
in evidence; the Germans had hoped
that France might find some way to
remain neutral, but they could not
doubt her sincerity. -.
The great surprise OF this awful
crisis was England's stand. The
Germans had thought she would re-
main neutral; in fact, they believed
she could have restrained Russia and
thus prevented the war. SO the
feeling against the British was
stronger than that shown toward the
French. The statement that the
violation of Belgium's neutrality was
the cause that led England to declare
war. is looked upon as merely pre-
text in Germany.
1t is claimed by eminent German
statesmen that such men as Lord
Palmerton, and Gladstone, would
have agreed on such a step. If Eng
land had been placed under similar
circumstances, 1t was very unfor-
tunate occurrence. but, in the mat
ter of life and death for Germany.
necessary. France. they believe,
would have done the same thing; 1t
was only a question of who got there
first.
At all events. Germany is hedged
in on practically every side. and Is
fighting what must be an unequal
struggle against allies that have
nothing, or, at least very little, in
common. except those higher things
that they have in common with Ger
many as we'll. France and England
have formerly been enemies since
time immemoriaI. They had patch
ed up their differences. it is true, at
one time or an other; for example,
to unite against Russia as common
enemy in the Crimean war, but that
fails to clear up the situation to
any very great extent. In the Rus
so-Japanese war, England was al
most at the point OF war with Rus
STA. while, as in this war, France
was financing the Russian govern
ment. so the Germans think that
If the present war is a victory for
the allies. then England will have
to turn against Russia and curb the
encroachments of this overly ambi-
tious, and almost absolute. monar-
chy. In fact, this very idea has al
ready been expressed in English pa
pers, and noted Englishmen have
pointed out that.France and England
are but uniting to raise Russia to a
position that will endanger all Eu-
rope. Against this great and i'm
minent danger the Germans say they
are now fighting: and. to render Eu-
rope this service, they have also to
wage war with two of the most Gull
tured and most highly civilized ma
lions of Europe. They cali the
world in to pass judgment and say
who is in the right.

men.

Lexington. KY. Sept. 19.-Hanks
of hair from the heads of State Col
lege freshmen bestrewed the side
walks on Main street from the Phoe-
nix Hotel to the Ada Meade Theater,
and upon the annual curbing of the
freshmen's pride by inflicting the hui
initiation of mutilating his locks hav-
ing been inaugurated last night by
the upper classmen. The favOrite
method of inflicting the discipline is
not by clipping the victims hair
smoothly all over, but by saving
notches and burrows which can on
ly be obliterated by having a barber
clip the entire crop, and the multi
alton is generally made at night aft
er the .barbershops close, SO that the
sufferer must bear the badge Of hu-
initiation at least until he can reach
a barber the following morning. A
dance at the Phoenix Hotel last
night. which was largely attended by
the freshmen, gave an excellent OPP
for the work of the upper
classmen. and many a gallant young
freshman who left the ballroom for
a moment returned with his hair pre-
senting an appearance which caused
shrieks of dismay, or, lack
ing the nerve to face the ridicule
which his return would cause. sent
a note to his partner asking to be
excused for the rest of the evening
on account of sudden illness.
The freshmen who could not be
located last night were rounded up
ON the university grounds to-day,
and this evening no pompadours
waved over the brows of budding
freshmen. who could be easily rec
ognized by their close-clipped heads.
