Neither Mr. Murtagh nor I in- tended to become husband and wife when we went to the house of a min ister on May 1, 1897, and went through the marriage ceremony ,' Mrs. Dorgeloh said. ''The marriage was brought about through my desire to go on the stage. I was 15 years old at the time. My father was dead, my mother in Europe and my two married sisters in New England. I lived in boarding house on Living ston street, Brooklyn, and worked as a steographer in Manhattan.
 "One night, through friends I met Philip Reilly and his wife, theatrical people, who lived in De- graw street. Reilly told, me my dreams of becoming an actress might easily be realized if I would go to live with him and his wife and learn a little sister act. I went to their home to live. Later I went alone to the office of a big theatrical man ager in Manhattan and told him wanted to go on the stage.
 ''The manager looked at my short skirts and laughed You are too young he said When I told Reilly
 
 said, If the manager had seen a we'd have got by all right You had bet ter let me get you fake marriage certificate. You can show it to the next manager you see and he will take you y
 The fact that Mrs. Dorge1oh had contracted mock marriage came s., &I>z her daughter, but she did not ex- plain then how the marriage came about. She merely testified that she had married Charles $. Barker a year after contracting it and that her daughter if held to be legitimate would inherit $100,000 from her pa ternal grandfather, Charles Barker. It was held that Barker contracted the marriage in good faith and if alive could legitimatize the girl. His desire to do so was presumed and the girl was declared legitimate. The matter is pending on appeal.
 Mrs. Dorgeloh married her present husband in 1906, five years after the death of Barker. His death did not remove the impeachment, however, as Murtagh, the first husband, is still alive. His remarriage further com plicates the marital tangle He. is living in Somerville, N. J., with his second wife and joins Mrs. Dorgeloh in. her petition to have their mar riage annulled.
 AS the matter stands now," Mrs. Dorgeloh testified yesterday, 1T am merely MT. Dorgeloh's moral wife. That is terrible position to be in. If decree is granted in this case an awful mistake will be corrected both for MT.

GERMANS WANT
 BANK IN NEW YORK ''Staats zeitungg' Director to
 Seek Support of Project

New York. Sept. 30,---Reports that German banking interests in New York were planning to establish 9 German American national bank in this city were generally discredited yesterday in German banking circles. Officials of the German American bank and the German Savings bank of the City of New Y York denied yes- terday that they were interested in any such plan or that they had been approached on that score. They stated that they 'had the business of their own institutions to attend to' and inferred that they were not in sympathy with any such movement
 Bernard H. Ridder, vice-president and director of the New Yorker Staats zeitung corporation, however, Is very much in favor of such q < step being taken. He believes that there are a great many Germans in New York city and in the United States who will wish to withdraw their deposits from banks which will participate in the Anglo-French loan In order to keep their money from being used against the fatherland, MT. Ridder believes that these witll- 4uIdWdIS VIII IaI IIOll cIl CACCIlOliI OD- portunity for the formation of a big bank in this city for the Germa Il people.
 He said yesterday that there was about s62,000,0oo deposited in the 2 banks of this country by Germans and x that. close to 90 per cent of this amount was in New York city. The average deposits, he said, were about $4,00O each. These figures, he said, had been secured from replies to let ters sent out by the American Truth Society, which, desiring to obtain statistics, sent out many letters, in- Quiries and advertisements for that purpose recently. Over 5000 replies were received.
 Mr. Rider said that the Staats Zeitung proposed to publish an adver- tisemenb shortly asking Germans and German Americans to communicate with him regarding their willingness to deposit their funds in a strictly German banking institution which 2 they would be assured would not par ticipate in any loans to the allies, col { Iectively or Individuality.

THIS CASE OF BEER
 HANDLED BY JUDGES
Find for Defendant After Refusing
 to Partake Of Samples

New York, Sept. 30.-When is beer not beer? In fact, what is beer, any way?
 These questions were answered by Justices Salmon, Herbert and Nc nerney in special sessions yesterday, when, without tasting the beverage offered for their inspection, they ac- quilted Charles Klein, a waiter charged with having sold beer in a restaurant at No. 173 East Eighty fourth street, which had no license.
 Patrolman Price testified that he and Patrolman Eisele visited the place on September IS, asked for lager beer and was certain he re- ceived that beverage.
 Bernard Mitnick, lawyer, produced six bottles of something that looked like beer.
 This is the only beer sold in this place." said he land it is not beer because it contains less than three per cent. of alcohol"
 He opened the three bottles and poured glass for each of the judges. They declined to sample it, but Price took a drink from every glass.
 "No this isn't lager" he admitted, "but I don't think it's the same kind of beer served to me in the restaur- ant.''
 We think there is reasonable doubt" said Justice McInerney.
 Last night it was discovered that the three unopened bottles of near beer had disappeared.

M. J. Greenman, Director of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania. After a series of experiments covering per- iod of four and a half years made by pr. H. D. King of that department with rats Director Greenman has ar. rived at the conclusion that consang- uinity not only has no injurious ef- fleets upon the offspring of such un- ions, but it would tend to produce types larger and more efficient phy- sicalIy than those which result from the marriage now universally recog- nized.
 Intermarried Rats.
 "For twenty-one generations Dr. King said, "I have intermarried a brother and sister rat. The result was that I got rat larger and bet ter physically in every way than the first ones. A rat is mammal and man is a mammal; therefore, it is not too much to think that the same principle can be applicable to each
 "I believe that if brother and a sister, carefully selected and of a higher type, were to marry the result of the union would be a higher type of offspring than from the intermar- riage of two other people. The opin- ion regarding the degensracy of the offspring of such a union exists be- cause the only races who intermarry are degenerate races, and therefore you get race of even greater degen- eracy."
 Tn an experiment with rats thero is no way of telling what the effect might be on the mentality" pr. Greenman said, The improvement noted has been purely a physical one.

PRESIDENT UPHELD
 BY BERLIN PAPER
National Zeitung Publishes Article Headed ''Wils0n
 Bryan and Roosevelt"

Berlin, Sept. H., via London, 11:2O fishes today leading article under the heading: wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt" which is noteworthy for it's friendly tone and for the un- grudging admiration expressed for President Wilson.
 The article begins by saying that discussions of the Arabic affair have been in a quieter tone since Count dor at Washington, presented his re- quest to the American government to delay action until Germany had had of the case. Even the anti-German newspapers admitted the justice of this request, the article says, and there now remains no obstacle to friendly discussions. of differences of nature to prevent a satisfactory compromise.
 The personality of President Wilson has been illuminated more strongly than ever before the National Zeitung says during the exciting days through which America has just passed.
 Never was the presidents position more difficult than during the Arabic crisis, the article declares, than "when MT. Bryan was calling on Am ericans for peace at any price, and Col. Roosevelt was summoning them to war against Germany" the activi- ties of these two men threatening to bring about situation that might made the presidents attitude toward Germany dependent on domestic po- litical considerations.
 That President Wilson withstood this temptation and may be counted on to withstand it further must be acknowl- edged" the newspaper says, mot withstanding the fact that the Ger man people certainly have reason tc be dissatisfied with his attitude in the matter of submarine warfare.' MT. Wilson is characterized as 2 more clever politician than "The un- lucky Bryan and the astute pol1tl- clan Roosevelt
 The article concludes with the statement that Germany has always desired to maintain the traditiona friendly relations with America and | that it may be hoped the Arabic case l will serve to clear up misunderstand- l ings on both sides. It must be pos sible to reach an understanding, inas' much as the points in dispute are matters of principle and not of con- quest, victories or defeats.

U-BOAT HALTS U. S..
 BARK WITH SHOT
German Submarine Learns Identity of American Ship and Allows
 Her to Proceed.

Boston, Sept. 1.-The American bark Ruth Stark of Boston, was hold up by a German submarine while bound from Liverpool for this port on August 8. According to Captain Rawding, the submarine fired a she as a warning for her to heave to.
 Soon afterwards the suhma rine came alongside and after learning the identity of the bark and her dcstin- ation permitted her to proceed.
 The Ruth Stark was carrying seven stopped, 15O miles off Cape Clear Ire land. At the time her commander said there were two British torpedo boat destroyers within three miles of his ship. The latter flew the Ameri- can flag and American flags were painted on either side of her hull.
 The bark had all her canvas set when the warning shot was fired. The captain immediately ordered that the sails be lowered as quickly as possible This was accomplished with difficulty because of the heavy sea and the sailors were doing their best the commander, a second shot was fired seemingly at the bark. This, if intended for the American. went wide of the mark and presently the subma- rine came alongside. The mmander of the German vessel questioned Cap tain Rawding inquiring his destina- tion and cargo and then told him to go on his way.
