SAMMONS MARRIAGE VOID;
WIFE LOSES ALIM0NY
Manufacturer Wins Fight Against
Supporting Second Spouse-Held
Guilty Party in First Divorce.

The remarriage of a guilty party in
a divorce proceeding is void. even
though the second wife did not know
of her husbands divorce. The husband
may set up the plea of the illegality of
the marriage in defense of a motion for
temporary alimony made by the wife.
Justice Stafford Of the District Su-
preme Court so ruled today when he
denied alimony to Mrs. Agnes E. Sam
mons. who brought suit for an abso-
lutte divorce from William Stokes Sam
mons. engaged in the manufacturing
business.
The parties were married October IT,
1910, and have one child. Mr.. Sammons
had been divorced April 13. 1903. and
under the District code was prohibited
from remarrying. When the second wife
brought suit and requested that n, he be
through Attorneys A L. Newmyer and
Hayden johnson. that the marriage was
void, and he could not be compelled to
support Mrs. Sammons. The couple had
lived together more than six years.
Attorneys George c. German and G. A.
Schuldt, for the wife. will note an ap-
peal from the ruling.

Handling of Garbage.

Garbage will be handled by the two

moved from kitchens they are replaced
by clean ones. Contents of cans will
be dumped into contractors trucks The
dumping Will be done at transfer sta
tions, and the contractor must imme-
diately remove them to point at least
three miles distant from the reserva-
ton.
One of the hardest problems has been
to dispose of manure to advantage. AS
there have been 1900 animals at each
cantonment manure has accumulated in
large amounts.
From the standpoint of conservation
attention is called to the fact that
waste materials have been converted
into valuable commercial products, such
as pork. grease, glycerine. soap, paper
stock and fertilZing material
Total returns to government in ma
nure sales alone. including the saving
over what it would have cost to in

partment already has worked out Il
comprehensive plan. not yet complete
in all it's details, to conserve to the ut
most limit all waste material and re-
fuse at the camps and to handle such
material in a sanitary manner.
Features of this plan, as outlined in
report by Lieut. Col. J. Austin Ellison

following items:
At each kitchen complete separation
of all waste materials will be made
Thus garbage, bones, fats. grease paper

while produce was going to waste in
nearby fields. Other complaints al
legged that in some cantonments. in
Guiding Camp Meade. at Admiral, Md,
no steps have been taken to conserve
crops on tracts to be U.S. by the SOL
