Gets Divorce at Danvillc


Gets Divorce at Danvillc
Danville, Va, Sept. 1S-A divorce
was granted here by Judge Z. Wal
ton Brown to William Childress,
whose II year old wife, seeing the
name of her husband among the
slain in an official casualty list,
married Robert Holley, of North
Carolina, also soldier,
It subsequently developed that
her first husband was not Killed.
No steps have been taken to prose-
ecute the young woman for bigamy
under the circumstances.
Examination of dispositions taken
in the case show that there was a
voluntary separation six days after
the girls marriage to Childress. She
left to visit relatives in North Car
DINA, but once there she wrote to
him saying she did not expect to
return. When war was declared by
the United States, Childress enlisted
with the local Coast Artillery or
ranization and went 10 France. He
was in the army for two years.
While abroad his name was included
in the casualty list, although he was
not wounded or missing, and Mrs.
Childress was married in Spray, \.
c., to Holley. Holley in his depos-
ton says that his bride never told
him of her first alliance, and the
divorce action brought him first
word of it.

NO YIELDING TO POLICE
Boston Commissioners Reiterates
That Strikers Are Barred


That Strikers Are Barred
Boston, Sept. 1s.-Striking police
men will not be reinstated under
any conditions. This was reiterated
Yesterday by Police Commissioner
Edwin U. Curtis when his attention
was directed to the construction
placed in some quarters on an
amendment to the department rules
announced last night. 1t had been
pointed out that the change, which
would permit suspension as a pen
atty for violation of regulations,
might be construed as leaving a
!oophole ny which some of the old
ar men of the department who be-
fore the strike had served the city
long and faithfully might regain
their positions.
The list Of strikers who have ap-
piled for reinstatement is constant
ly growing, according to Superin-
tendent of Police Michael II. Crow
ley. No difficulty is expected in
providing policemen for the polling
places at the primaries next Tues
day.
Although nine-tenths of the unions
affiliated with the Boston Central
Labor Union have voted to support
the police "to the limit" in their
strike for union recognition, accord
ing to statement made at meet
ing of the police uKnion last night
by Frank H. Mccarthy, local or
ganizer of the American Federation
Of Labor, union leaders asserted
yesterday that they did not indicate
any immediate general strike.
The announcement that the fire.
men of the city would not even con-
slider a sympathetic strike to sup
port the police removed factor
that had given the authorities much
concern.
The Boston Web Pressmen's In
ion, whose members are employed
on local newspapers, ballotted yes
terday on the question of participa-
ting in a geenral strike, orders for
the vote having been issued at a
meeting last night attended by 800
members. The News Writer'S I'm
ion also met yesterday, but no an
nouncement was made as to the
business to be taken up. A strike
vote also was taken today by the
Typographical Union.

All the continued help that science
can give is needed by the cotton in
