The supreme court, with two
judges dissenting, holds that a
common law marriage is valid in
this state. In giving his opinion
Judge Whiting quotes from the sta.
tute which says, Marriage must
be solemnized, authenticated and
recorded as provided in tnis article,
but non. compliance with its pro.
visions does not invalidate any
lawful marriage" The Judge
therefore concludes that q license
is not essential to a valid marriage
in this state.

Hindle's Drug Store
 Adopt Sanitary Cups

Sanitary paper cups are being used at both Hindle drug stores in serving aice cream and soda MT. Hindle, the proprietor of these stores, has been considering the advisability of using paper cups for some time, but not until he had read a government re- port, issued by the United States pup Iio health service, did he decide to make the change. The cups are made from clean white rice paper and ap- neal to the most fastidious. They are not covered with gum or parai1ne and are not distasteful to the user. The government report cites test made by Prof. Ava Dawson of La fayette college, in which 10 studens apply the upper lip, in the same way when drinking to pieces of flat ster- ilized glass. These slips of glass were then 1nicroscopically examined ana showed an average of about 100 hu- man cells or minute bits of skin ana 75.00O bacteria to each slip. The report warns the public that tuber- cular.. tonsilar and purulent mouth diseases, as well as acute typhoid ana scarlet fever, can be contracted from the use of glasses, even though con cerns make a sincere effort to SteIll- ize them. The use of paper cups is more economical, as well as sanitary and will increase the efficiency Of the already excellent service in force at both the, Hind1e soda fountains.

DECISION
 IN DISPUTE OVER ABB. co. YACHT
Lawyer Arrested By MT. and Mrs. Hoadley Insists To-
 cal Firm Is Owner

New York, Sept. 15.-The contro- versy over the possession of the Ala bama, a steam yacht, which resulted in the arrest of Karl T. Frederick and private detective, was postpond until Monday by Magistrate Frothingham in the West Side court yesterday.
 MT. F'rederick, who is connected with the firm of Satterlee, Garfield & Stone, 49 Wall street, and counsel for the re- ceiver of the International Power Co.,, which is said to control the American & British Manufacturing Co.of Bridge port, contends that the yacht belongs to the latter concern. His arrest was caused by Joseph h. Hoadley, recently president of the manufacturing com pany, and Mrs, Hoadley. When MT. Frederick went on board and asked the captain to give the yacht to him Mrs. Hoadley asserted that the craft was hers and appeared in the police station to press a charge of d1sorderly conduct against the lawyer.
 E. R. Buckner, of 51 Nassau street, was counsel for MT. Frederick, while Gerald Rosenheimer represented MT. Hoadley. MT. Buckner said he was prepared to prove that the yacht was registered in the name of the Ameri- can & British Co.,, that that concern had paid for it's gasolene, silver, nap kins and other equipment of every kind
 HThe president of the manufactur- ing company wrote to the captain of the yacht to turn it over to MT. Fred erick," MT. Backner said. Therefore, MT. Frederick went to take possession believing that the captain had receiv- ed the communication and would act accordingly"
 He added that the Alabama had -steametl away and that he would re- plevin the vessel as soon as she made port again
 According to MT. Buckner. the trou- ble goes back to the removal or MT. Hoadley from the control Of the American & British Co.

FORD DECLARES HE'LL SUPPORT
 THE PRESIDENT

Henry Ford, Detroit manufacturer and peace advocate, announced yes terday his decision to support Presi- dent for reelection. MT. Ford has been a lifelong Republican.
 In an interview in San Francisco, made public by the Democratic Ma tional committee last night, MT. Ford said:
 Because of the many good things President Wilson has done I think he should be commended and heartily appreciated. Every neighbor you meet will tell you the good things in the administration of President Will son.
 T feel just as these people do about what he has done and realize keenly that his great neutrality policy dur ing the European war has had the patent successful result of keeping this country at peace.
 The efforts of his opponents to, try and make political capital because of President Wilson's determination not to measure swords with poor deluded Mexico have already ended in distinct failure.'
 MT. Ford was Michigan's "favorite son" for the Republican Presidential nomination at Chicago last June, and the 30 votes of that state were cast for him on the first ballot.
 United States Senator William AL den Smith had entered the Republi- can primaries and his friends expect ed him to get Michigan's delegation. But on primary day MT. Ford swept the Wolverine state, although he in sisted from the start that he was mot candidate. He refused to do any thing to help the Ford boom.

Amusements
POLI'S

Like the opening act of the Poll theatre this week the whole o1terlns is bright, Well balanced selections or pfctures and vaudeville is the rule or the Poli theatres. The present snow ing is even more so than usual, Tor song, comedy and thoughtful presen- tation and depth of subject has been attained. /
 Oakland sisters open the perform ance of vaudeville following the Pathe News which shows the collapse of the great Canadian Bridge in all its reality and ruin. The two sisters dress well' sing topical songs and generally re- lieve monotpny by their bright ap- pearance and dance steps.
 Bob Yosco, whose characterization of the Italian rag peddler is acknow- ledxed one of the most apt on the vaudeville stage followed his perform 4ance with rare instrumentality upon the cello.
 Barry Mccormick, cousin Of Jonn Mccormick the famous tenor appears with his company of players in an original sketch thax gives birth 10 many endearing thoughts of old Ire >land. Mccormick sings two songs in | good voice and the whole act is di-
 
 verting.
 Nevins & Gordon, the nurse and the war correspondent agitate the laugh 1 ter muscles of audiences with new | line of nifty nonsense culled from the battlefield and the, news offices.
 The vaudeville performance closes with 'The Dreamers' in which a bunch of clever girlies are featured with Sammy Renn and Patricia ] O.Bare. Both these principals are { young and exceedingly clever. The setting for the piece on a pirate ship is we'll carried out In plot and with the clever fun produced by Rem and the prettiness of Miss O'Dare sends l the production across with bang. { Renn's dancing. eccentric and unique was the hit of the season. The chor- uses are we'll vocalized and it is with regret that the grand finale is wit messed. !. A five reel special feature picture of the William Fox variety shows ex- ceptional scenes from the very start and continues them throughout in the "Unwelcome Mother. Walter Law in the principal roles repeats \his most recent film successes and creates new interest to himself. His support is most able and the view of this great 1 photoplay is an assured pleasure to all who can witness 1t at the Poi | theatre.

Com ley, Jr., advising the commission that ;under the law, the certified check for s1O,00O which the company posted as a guarantee of good faith in n1ek- ing their bid, is forfeited.

LYRIC

The story of Frank Howell is one of the most dramatically interesting themes to be introduced into a play in several seasons, according to the unanimous decision of the critics who have witnessed 'The Devils Harvese'' the new play by Edward E. Rose, au- thor of 'The Rosary" Little Lost Sis ter," ~The Daughter of Mother Ma chree" and other popular successes to be brought to the Lyric theatre for an engagement of one week beginning on Monday night
 Frank is Just the ordinary young high-school boy, subject to the same temptations and guided by the same ambitions as your own son, if you be 50 enriched. What happens wher he gets drawn into the atmosphere of his fathers converted variety store cafe; his change of attitude toward bds mother and his behavior toward Helen Clever, his young and attrac. tive aunt who comes to pay a visit to the Howell home, make most of the most thrilling and thought -awakenine play episodes of the year.
 The shame of it, the horror of what has happened is painted in deer hued letters that>an whd read may see and understand. It is one of the Freatest lessons ever devised without in the least allowing the play to de. rart from it's original purpose. dra. matic entertainment. In The De. viHs Harvest" Edward E. Rose has devised play that bids fair to live 1 long after he has been forgotten ia the rush of hurrying events
 Tn the selection of young Howel considerable pains was taken by the producing management. Practically there is TO more important role ir fhe play, although it is not one O, the leading parts from a technica standpoint. Around it whirls an ever. increasing tornado of action of a high. 1y emotional sort. It gives a side of the life of any city under license that is seldom appreciated in it's full significance. The Devils Harvest is rich in highly effective lessons of z moral as wei as a. dramatic vaue, bu cone more so than that of this pure.

PLAZA.

Tho P1axa's vaudeville program for Hhe nrst half of the week was a com plete success from start to finish for every feature on 1t scored an indi- vidual1hit and they were all worthy. Paul, Levan & Dobbs, trio of ac- robats who have unusual gifts for working In comedy with sensational ism, earned a warm reception They arc fast workers, introduce many clever and novel feats and succeed in keeping the laughs coming at lively clip.
 Newhoff and Phelps were remem- bered by yesterdays crowds and 1t was an easy victory for them. Both are entertainers of the highest calibre and their material is up-to-the-mo- ment. Singing and comedy quips com posed the act, but it was put over as only these two popular performers can
 Fields and Bernie We're also recog- nized as pleasure makers and their nift1ly arranged repertoire of song and pianologue was received with many exclamations of delight. These boys have splendid voices and one's ability at the piano is most uncommon Be- sides, they have personality, and that means so much in vaudeville today. |>
 Kimball and Kenneth deserve much credit for their classy little offering of banjo playing and the novelty they introduce in the act was very much appreciated.
 '"The Little Liar,'' five part Trian- gle dramatic subject with Mae Marsh and Bobby Harron, was a most pleas ing attraction. The story is an ab- eorbing one and the plot well devel- loped while the vien of comedy that, is worked helps it greatly
 Ford Sterling's His Lying Heart" a lKeystone two part film, marking the famous comedians first appearance in
 many weeks, was a source of fun to his many admirers.
