FOUR WEDDINGS
IN ]. P. COURT
Justices Hall and Beaver,
Rivals, Perform Two
Each in Afternoon.

As a dispenser Of joy and worthy
assistant to Cupid. as well as first
aid to the lOvelorn. judge A. J. Hall
has become a close rival to judge J. NJ
Deaver. both gentlemen being closely
associated with the justice court, and
great praise is thereby attached to
judge Hall for his interest and zeal in
that art Of making two loving hearts
one, because of the long start which
Judge Beaver has over him.
All of which was written because
each Of these judges performed two
marriages Saturday afternoon
BY far the most romantic ceremo-

Miss Delfina Guerro was the little
woman who chose sisnalman Gallagher
for her mate. while Miss Dora Wade
became the bride Of Sergt. Littel Il
was the plan to have a double wedding
of the two couples. but through a mis-
understanding in time. they failed to
appear together before judge Hall. with
the result that the ceremonies were
about half an hour apart Sergt and
Mrs. Litteu left for San Francisco i'm
mediately after the ceremony. where
they viii spend their honeymoon.
Judge Deaver united in marriage En-
rique Fivera and Geraldalupe Garcia
and Ventura Penaro and Maria Del

sad to relate. there was a slight hitch
in the ceremony which united Rivera
and Miss Garcia Judge Deaver neg
lected TO kiss the bride, and the poor
little woman was sure that she could
not be wholly married TO the man OF
her choice until that pretty custom
had been attended to. and she made her
newly created spouse wait for some few
minutes. thinking that the judge would
notice his oversight Finally persuad-

conduct for him in the event that
he survives.
There is no reason why Con-
gress should concern itself at
this time with the wailings Of
the railroad Presidents against
the Eight-Hour Bill. The rail-
road Presidents help to create
this situation. They still want
a strike. They would be glad to
see every facility of transporta.
ton paralyzed if they thought it
would wreck the unions. They
have no more regard for the
rights of the American people in
this crisis than the brotherhood
leaders have shown and no tears
need be shed over them because
Congress is tanning an expert
mental eight hour law down their
throats. Any injustice that is
done to their stockholders is sure
to be remedled.
Congress in this matter is on
the side of the public, and that
is where Congress ought to be.
The advocates of delay are the
advocates of a strike and of ma
( tioual disaster.
1t is silly to charge Congress
with surrendering to the unions.
The unions had a legal right to
strike when the strike was or
dered. There is not a line on
any statute book which prevents
their striking. ror could any law
be enacted before Monday which
would compel them to work.
Whatever their moral guilt may
be, they are within the law when
they co the thing that they
threatened to do. Therefore, it
il the duty of Congress to take
such practicable means as may
be q pied al once To remove the
excuse fr " strike. W atever
