Of Mrs. NJ. Gertrude Taylor on behalf

employment of girls under eighteen

C. Davis, jr. in Alexandra, Va. secured
q license to marry Helen Taylor in
March last and the girls age in that APP
plication. a copy of which is filed with
the answer. is given as nineteen years.
The copy does not show that a cere-
mony was performed. The husband
also files a copy of her birth certificate,
which shows she win be seventeen
years old next Sunday.
In asking the annulment Of the mar
rage the mother said her daughter
was under the age of sixteen when the
ceremony was performed and that the
girl did not live with her husband

his death at such an early time in life,
last Monday. Hoffman was only q
years old, and lived at 1878 Ashland ave-
nue., and is survived by his mother Mrs.
Esther Hoffman, sister, Mrs. Mortimer
Benson, of Lidgerwood, N. D., and two
brothers, Max and Edward, the former
being in the Medical Reserve at the Uni
versity
Two months ago Hoffman, who had
worked himself up to one of the most
important positions in the Great North
ern Express Company, waived deferred
classification under the draft, and en-
listed as private in the Coast Artillery.
He was sent to Camp Howard, Md, and
although he had passed the examination
which would give him entrance to the
Officers Training Camp in that branch
of the service, he had already been as
signed to an Overseas Anti-Aircraft Divi-
sion. Two days before this company left,
Hoffman was taken sick with pneumonia,
resulting in his death on Monday. The
funeral took place at the Rockstrols I'm
dertaking Parlors, interment being at the
Sons of Jacob Cemetery, on Thursday.

MORRIS HILLQUIT ILL.

Morris Hillquit, Socialist can
didate for Congress in the Twentieth
District, against whom the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans have fused,
is very i'll at a tuberculosis sanitar-
ium a considerable distance from
New York This statement was
made at his office yesterday by his
brother Jacob. Mr.. Hillquit became
aware that his lungs were affected
something like five years ago. He
gave up all professional and political
activity for a time, went to Bermuda,
among other places, and improved
greatly.
His campaign for Mayor last fall
impaired his health again, but in
stead of taking rest he turned i'm
mediately to his law practice. The
condition of his lungs grew steadily
worse, and his physician several days
ago ordered him to give up work
of every kind and go to an altitude
where his lungs might heal or at
least become much stronger. His
brother said yesterday that it would
be several weeks, at least, before
Mr.. Hillquit would return to town.
