STIRRING RESOLUTIONS BEFORE
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION CON-
DENIM LAxITY MARRIAGES.
INTRODUCED BY DR.. KINSOLVING
Legislature Petitoned to Forbid Rec
ignition Of Reno Divorces, and APP
peal Made to Sentiment Against
Civil Law Marriages.

The Wednesday afternoon session
of the Episcopal diocesan convention
of the state of Tennessee, which is
in session here, was featured by the
introduction of resolution by Rev.
DR.. w. L. Kinsolving, of Winchester,
in which the laxity of the present
marriage relations was scored, the
legislature Of the state memorialized
to forbid the recognition of divorces
obtained for slight cause at Reno, Ne
vada, the favoring OF requirement
of physicians certificate by a cler-
gyman before solemnizing the rite of
matrimony, and deploring the custom
of persons being married by officials
Of the civil law without the sanction
and blessing of the church
The resolutions met the hearty ap.
proval and endorsement of the large
number of ministers and laymen pres
ent at the convention. They were
referred to the committee on memo
rails. The full text OF the resolu.
lions was as follows
Whereas, the institution of holy
matrimony has been degraded in our
country from its high dignity and SOL
emn responsibility into a mere civil
contract violable by either party for
slight cause
And, whereas, the law of Christ
and the law Of this church are both
opposed to lack of seriousness in en-
tering into the married state as well
as laxity in regard to dissolving the
marriage relation, be it resolved,
First, That this convention rec.
ommends the passage of laws in the
State of Tennessee forbidding the re-
cognition of divorces obtained for
slight cause at Reno, Nevada.
Second, That this convention puts
itself upon record as favoring the re-
quirement of a physicians health GER
tificate by a clergyman of the church
before he solemnizes the rite of holy
! matrimony in this diocese.
Third, That this church deplores
+bo cuctopo of narcons hnino married.
by officials of the civil law without
the sanction and blessing of the
church, and appeals to the public con-
science and Christian sentiment of
the state to discontinue this practice
of marriages witnessed and corrobor-
ated merely by the officers OF the
law"

NASHVILLE BOY
LOSES HIS LIFE
MOTORCYCLE RIDDEN BY MAN.
GUS FERGUSON coLLlpEs
WITH iNTERURRAN.

GALLATIN, Tenn, May 4.-Man-
gus Ferguson, II year old carpen-
ter, of Nashville, was killed at S:35
o'clock this evening at Lock cross
ing, mile from Gallatin, on the
Nashville pike, when his motorcycle
cOllided with the southbound interur-
ban car. To prevent frightening
horse young Ferguson dismounted in
front of DR.. Fritts residence, but be-
fore reaching the crossing he re-
mounted and attempted to cross the
track, when he was struck.
A physician was called, but the boy
died ten minutes after the accident.
A surgeon who examined the body
found that one hip was dislocated and
his skull fractured, which probably
caused his death. The boys father
is engaged in erecting house for
Mrs. M. E. Alexander, and the young
man was OH his way to work when
the accident occurred. The gasoline
tank of the motorcycle exploded and,
with the force of the collision, de-
molished the machine, hurting the
rider fifteen feet from the track. Fer
guson's body was taken aboard the
car and carried to Nashville, where it
was turned over to his father. Con-
duetor Jonah Anderson and Motor
man Jordan were in charge of the car.

ed to act for her.
Miss Farrar Is now with the Metro
politan company in Atlanta. She will
return to New York City before leav'
ing for the Lasky Studios at Holly

YOUTH Of TRIPLE
LIFE IS CAUGHT
RESPECTABLE IN HOBOkEN, DE

BURGLAR IN NEWARK.

NEW YORK, May Prank Pal
mer, whose triple life made him a
respectable citizen in Hoboken, de-
bauchee in Jersey City and an ordi-
nary burglar in Newark, was arrest
ed yesterday near his furnished
room.
Palmer is only 81 years old. The
New Jersey police say he is the most
remarkable criminal they have ever
dealt with. They estimate that with.
in the last six months they have fired
three hundred pistol shots at him,
chased him a score of times and had
a dozen picked men searching every.
where in an effort to capture him.
His remarkable speed as a runner,
and the fact that he constantly car.
ried two automatic revolvers, with
which he returned the fire of the po-
lice. explain his charmed life."
Perhaps the strangest part of Pal
mers remarkable career is the three
distinct phases into which he divided
his life. In Newark he was a simple
burglar. There are eight robbery
complaints registered, against him
there. The police charge he commit
ted a score Of other burglaries.
In Jersey City, where he ften ap
peared. he was a debauchee OF the
