Wife BEATING Case
Goes TO HIGH COURT
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN. Del. Oct. 12.-Ar-
gument was heard in Supreme Court
yesterday by Robert c. White. coun-
sci for oliver ID. Collins, of Bishop
Vile, Nd, who on last Friday was
convicted OF wife-beating. upon a mo-
ton for a new trial. The contention
OF the defense was that the court
erred in the charge to the jury. At
the trial II was shown that Collins
had a wife living in Maryland and
that there had been no divorce pro-
ceedings instituted until about three
weeks ago. The defendant claimed
that the plaintiff. Mrs. Nora r. Col
Inns (nee Eskridge) was not his law
full wife, although he held her out as
such TO the people. While II Is be-
lieved that Mrs. Collins thought that
a marriage ceremony had been per-
formed at Salisbury. Md, the opinion
prevails that she was deceived and
that nothing hut a mock" ceremony
was had.
Counsel for the defendant. in the
absence OF any proof TO show that
the couple were lawfully married, ar
gued that in the eyes OF the law she
was his cOmmOn-law wife. and as such
he could not be convicted upon a
charge OF wife-beating because IL had
been shown that he had a wife living
in Maryland. The court refused to
grant a new trial. whereupon a mo-
ton for a writ OF error was made.

AID OF HUMANITY IS
EPISCOPAL keynote
Rev. DR.. Mann, President of
Deputies, Appeals TO Con-S
vention for Unity
WAR SPLITS THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 12.-Emipent men
lifted their voices for freedom from
internal strife over doctrines and pol
icy in view Of the present world crisis
as the forty-fourth triennial general
convention Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church was opened in the Moolah
Temple.
The keynote OF the convention. in
the opinion Of many was founded in
the address Of the Rev. DR.. Alexander
Mann. reelected as president Of The
House OF Deputies. and the felicit-
ious reply which George Wharton
Pepper OF Philadelphia, made to the
welcome of the mayor of St. Louis.
In the triennium just ended the Eu-
ropean war has spread like a cloud
over Christendom, and nations which
were once arrayed together under the
banner OF the Cross are at grips.
The feeling Of deputies, clerical and
lay, as they met informally. is that II
is time TO bury the Panaman contrO'
versy. to forget the difference over rit-
ual and 10 join in the aid Of humanity
Hence. in all the program OF the days
to come, social and missionary CUES
tions have a prominent part For
months, the leaders OF the various
elements have been holding confer
ences such as the recent love feast
held under the auspices OF the Cath
Ollie Club, the New York Organization
OF high churchman. Every effort ID
being made to keep the embers from
being famed into a blaze, with what
success II remains TO be seen.
This national council or our
church." said the Rev. Doctor Mann
in his address opening the House OF
Deputies, meets at a great and sol
emn time. take It that perhaps no
general convention OF the national
church ever assembled under circum'
stances like these. unless perhaps II
was the convention of the church
which met during the great Civil War
"The council OF the kingdom Of
peace meets here today and a great
war. the greatest Of all human his
tory. has been raging for some two
years, primarily and chiefly between
Christian nations.
1T is a solemnizing thought, and
take IL that every man here has been
for the last two years walking under
the gray shadow Of that great catas-
trophe. There are. OF course. matters
OF large and serious importance which
will come before you. There are cues
lions OF missionary reorganization
and missionary progress There is
the great question OF the revision Of
the prayer book. There are matters
touching on the regulation OF mar
rage. Mistakes I'm policy can be born'
and remedied. but Il is my feeling tina
the one mistake which could not b
rectihed. the one corporate sin not Il
be forgiven. would be for a council o
the Christian Church TO meet at thi
time in any other temper than the tenn
per OF Christian brotherhood anC
Christian peace"

HELPING ASHLAND CELEBRATE.
A canvass among the business
men Of the city has indicated that
the very large majority Of them
favor holding no celebration OF the
Fourth OF July this year in view Of
the big three-day celebration to be
staged in Ashland. The trustees Of
the Commercial club took action
along that line. as did the organiza-
ton OF merchants known as the
Beavers. and the members OF the
Moose band decided against cele-
bration which 1t had under contem-
plation. The people OF Ashland are
arranging for three days Of jollifica-
ton when the springs project which
is now nearing completion will be
formally dedicated. Through the
Commercial club. Ashland invited
Grants Pass to Join in the festivities
with them, and the invitation has
been accepted in a spirit Of hearty
good will. Grants Pass will hold her
celebration later.
