CIRCUIT COURT BEGAN
OPERATIONS TODAY
Grand Jury Impanelled and After Re-
ceiving Instructions, Started To
Work-very Light Docket.

The February term of the Madison
Circuit Court convened Tuesday morn
ing at nine o'clock, with Hon. w. R.
Shackelford, judge, presiding. Hon.
Ben A. Crutcher, Commonwealth
Attorney, Hon. o. P. Jackson, County
Attorney, and Mr.. James w. Wagers,
Clerk, and Hugh Thorpe, his deputy
clerk, were. in their respective places
ready to assist in all deliberations of
the court
Judge Shackelford before impanel-
ling the grand jury said that he trust
ed that no person who had been Sc
lected for jury service, either grand
or petit juror, would offer any excuse
not to serve, unless he was physically
unable, or some member of his family
was i'll and it was absolutely neces-
sary for him to remain at home.
He said the highest function a man
could perform was to serve his county
as juror, and that no man should
shirk the responsibility by claiming
that it would interfere with his bust
ness affairs. He said the business of
the courts was the business of the
people, and that the people should as
sist in every way possible in having
the laws enforced.
After the grand jury had been
sworn in Judge Shackelford proceed
ed to instruct the jury in the duties
devolving upon it. He complimented
county upon the splendid record of
law and order now prevailing and said
that this was possibly due to the en-
forcement Of the law by the various
officers who had jurisdiction over the
affairs of the county. He urged the
jurors to investigate all acts of vio-
lence brought to their notice, but not
to return indictments unless they be-
lieved a conviction would ensue. He
instructed the jury to inspect the
the county Offices, the county property
and everything else coming within
the inhibitions of the body so delegat
ed. His instructions were brief anC
to the point.

PASTOR THANKS CONGREGATION
 FOR ITS HELP

Rally Sunday was observed at Park street Congregational church yester- day. The re-decOrated building af- forded a satisfaction that added to the usual inspirations of the day, and caused many expressions of apprecia- ton. The church has been repaired and painted throughout, and looks very attractive In its new dress. At the morning service pr. Gerald H. Beard expressed the thanks of the congregation to it's committees in charge of the work and those who had by their gifts made it possible. Instead of S2OO, as had been expected, 1t was found that the total balance unpaid of the $2,7O6 required to do the work, was only SITS. Tho con- gregation voted to pay this off at once and most of 1t was contributed at the morning service. The small balance will doubtless be sent in this week
 At tho morning worship Dr. Beard took for his subject ''The Glorius Present"
 The Sunday school had an exCep- tionaUy good start, with classes nearly filled for the new years courses of study Special exercises and the award of certificates apd diplomas based on last years work, filled the opening half hour.
 At the evening servioe-the first of a series of popular pleasant Sunday cvenfngs-the chief parts of GauTs '''The Holy City" were rendered by the choir, under the able direction of Clayton P. Stevens supervisor of music In the public schools. pr. Beard spoke briefly but interestingly on Heroes of Peace" A new fea- ture was the entry of the names and addreSsos of both parishioners and visitors Tn a register, to serve as a directory of the parish. Infant chil- drcn of Mir. and Mrs c. R. Hall, Mir. and Mrs George E. ETinman, MT. and Mrs F. W. Clinton and MT. and Mrs. George ATattar were consecrated at the morning service.

Officials expressed the conviction last night that the latter will be ad- justed satisfactorily, but they ad- mItted that it is not free from dihfcul- ties.
 So long as the Interallied Economic Council, or Maritime Council. feels free to disregard a pledge of the Su- preme Council at Paris, and directs that American-owned oil tankers held in German ports during the war be- cause they had bene operated by a German subsidiary of the Standard OH Commapny, be turned over to England, the British government must wait for the release of the Imperator and other German passenger liners which have been used to bring troops home from France.
 The whode problem of the disposi- ton of German and Austrian mer- chant ships may be reviewed as a result of the failure of the United States to get the 12 American owned tankers.
 Had those tankers been ordered re- leased to the United States, the Im- perator doubtless would have been turned over promptly at g a. m. yes terday to the Cunard Line, and would have sailed as a passenger liner on the scheduled date.
 Now the British shipping interests must wait not only for the Imperator but for the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and eight other passenger ships.

dealer. We are further convinced that 1t is nonsensical to talk aobut putting $6OO,Ooo into an ice plant or even q quarter of that sum.
 The desired result can be accom- plished by putting the privilege of cutting ice from reservoirs up for public bid, with ordinance restrictions giving the Board of Health absolute control over ice that is to be sold in the city. Bidders, who unquestionably will be our present ice dealers will furnish a considerable storage ca pacity and the city need do no more than arrange to store the surplus they cannot take care of.
 The retail price should be fixed on cost plus plan that will give some municipal board power to prevent gouging and exorbitant profits.
 Such plan ought to be worked out immediately. To call a special election Is a needless expense and to postpone the matter until the April election, after the end of the ice-cut- ting season, is to flirt with the possi- bility of another famine year.
 Too much time already has been frittered away. There should be ac- ton, and action at once. Let us have ice and not merely hot air.

take. Apparently was deceived. But if the situation we have on our hands now leads to a revision of the law that would prevent any sharp person leaving such g loophole as exists in view of the claim that a bigamous marriage must result in the couple living together, some good may come out of it.
 Tt seems to me the law should re- quire that both parties should sign the application for a marriage H. cense and should swear to the truth of the statements. It is also my be- lief that 1t should be required that the ceremony be performed in the presence of at least two witnesses sat isfactory to the minister as well as to the couple.
 Tt is possible for an interruptions man to bring a woman before any person, tell her he is a minister or a justice of the peace, and go through a form of marriage before a man who is not authorized to perform a mar riage. The interruptions man could use a hunters license. That sort of , thing has been done, but it would be much more difficult to accomplish it if the law required at least two wit nesses to a marriage. I most emphat- ically think the marriage law and the bigamy law ought to be revised" At the conclusion of the morning service Alfred Stokes. secretary of the local Y. NJ. c. A, asked permission to speak Obtaining 1t, he read a short resolution expressing the confidence of the congregation in their pastor and their regret that the Lane Hercht situation had arisen. The resolution set forth that no blame attached to pr. Frank or to the church because of the pastors action in marrying thee oupIe. The resolu- tion was adopted unanimously bv ris- ing vote and the members waited to express personally their confidence in pr. Frank.

LET US HAVE ICE. NOT HOT AIR.
CFrom The Hartford Post.o


 We are not sure but the best sug- gestion offered at last weeks meeting of the Water Board was that of Com missioner McManus that the Mayor ought to call for the resignations of all the members.
 Certainly the Water Board has not transacted public business in a man. ner calculated to impress the people with its temperamental suitability for the work entrusted to 1t. In that the Board does not differ from other re- cent Water Boards, for many Of them have developed similar idiosyncracies. The Water Board Is big corpora ton, transacting a business involving millions of dollars a year, yet most of our Water Boards seem to spend most of their time in political dis cussion
 For months the Board has been wrestling with the proposition of de- vising a plan to assure the city plenty of ice at a reasonable price. After all these months the best suggestion it has to offer is that the whole mat ter be referred to the voters without a specific recommendation from the particular committee which has had the problem in Its hands.
 A group of high school boys could have arrived at as good a decision without half the fuss
 The Post believes 1t Is possible to utilize city reservoirs to guarantee a plentiful supply of ice at all times re- gardless of famine years. and that the price can be so regulated as to be at all times within the bounds of reason and still yield a living profit to the

 ''VVe win endeavur to adjust matters through arbitration and cancellation. and will comply strictly with all of the laws of tho International Typo graphical Union
 ''The international officers have not a3een asked to sanction a strike vote and will not bo asked for sanction. All this strike talk is a lot of hysteria on tho part of the International prosi- dent There is no other cause for it-''

Pastor Who Performed Cere- mOny CriticiSes Statutes
 From the Pulpit.
PREDICTS DANGER
 IN BIGAMY ACT
Dr. Frank Says He Will Enlist Clergy Tn Appeal for Legis-
 latiVe Amendments.

Stamford, Sept. 29-At the morn ing service in the Baptist church here yesterday the Rev. pr. Clarance HIu Frank, pastor, the clergyman who on April of this year married Grace Hercht and Joseph Lane at his home here, called the attention of his congregation to what he termed serious weakness of the Connecticut law covering biEamy and marriage.
 Dr. Frank. mentioning the interpre- tatiOn of the law that is generally ac- cepted here, that there can be no prosecution in Connecticut for a biga- nous marriage unless thee ouple actu- ally live together in this state. said the seriousness of the situation did not lie particularly in this Lane Hercht maria ge, but in the weak ness of the law which makes the rep etition of such things possible.
 ''The weakness of the bigamy law is simply terrifying" he said, when you think of what could be done the marriage law of Connecticut, too For instance. only one party has to swear to the statements made in the application for a marriage license. Only one party is required to sign the application and the law requires no witnes to the marriage or to the statements made in the application for the license. Applicants are not required to give their actual place of residence or if they are divorced to file a copy of the decree
 'As president of the Ministers League of Stamford am going to bring this matter up at the next ses- sion of the league with a view to get ting some action looking to a revision of the law.

HOLD IMPERATOR UNTIL TANKERS
 ARE RETURNED

Washington, Sept 29-Up to a late hour last night the British govern ment had made no formal protest to the State Department regarding the refusal of the War Department yes terday to turn over the German steamer Imperator to the Cunard Line
 The Shipping Board is the doctor in this case, and Chairman Payne and his associates show no disposition to let go of the big passenger liner. In fact, the American government is prepared to maintain a firm position in the controversy with Great Britain which is expected to follow the action of the War Department and the Ship ping Board.
