MARRIAGE TO NIECE
is VALID IN COURT
Judge Refuses to AnnuI Wedding
In Move Of Relations to
Upset Will.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 10--Judge DaW-
kins. in the circuit court, refused to de-
clare void the marriage Of the late
Charles Burk to Mrs. Selma r. Burk,
his niece, which took place at Newport
in 1913. when Mr.. Burk was seventy
years old.
The bill to annul the marriage was
hled by Joseph Fensterwald, q nephew
Of Mr.. Burk. who was attempting to
establish the validity Of a will made
prior to the marriage, which divided the
Burk estate OF Sl00600 among several
nieces and nephews. A will made sub
sequent to the marriage leaves the en-
tire estate to Mrs. Burk
The PLAINTIFF claimed that the MAJ
riage, under the laws Of Maryland, was
not legal. Judge Dawkins said IL was
not the province of the court to pass
upon the validity OF a marriage cere-
mony performed in Rhode Island. hut
that II was enough that Mr.. and Mrs.
Burk lived together in Maryland as man
formed. 80

Striking Point Made.

Another striking point made by Mr..
ThOrne, In which the committee took
keen interest. was that the representa-
tiOn Of consumers in rate cases is a
rare occurrence.
Hitherto in all these rate cases." he
said. I'VE have had shippers and roads
pittted against each other. Mr..
Brandeis and l. l believe, were the
only ones who represented the con-
sumers in the 1918 fight. Not the size
OF the rates, but their equality all
ways has been the point at issue. But
revenues are Of prime importance to
the consumer.
1T has become a serious problem as
10 how the consumer can be represent
ed, The railroads are there to pro-
tect their interests. Shippers are not
anxious about raise in rates so long
as the raise is distributed equally, be-
cause they make the consumer pay"
Senator Chiffon brought a laugh by
remarking: 1T has been stated IN po-
litical campaigns that the Democratic
party represents the consumer"
Then 1t should have represented
The Washington times., 1916-02-10

them in the rate hearings" said Mr..
Thorne. interests of consumers have
usually been matters of jest"
Mr.. Thorne dramatically pointed to
the large bulk OF exhibits OF railroads
and OF shippers to show how we'll they
had been represented in the rate cases.
