BABY DIES FROM
DRINKING COAL OIL

Death under very unusual circum-
stances occurred yesterday at the
Emergency Hospital.
Woodrow Hardesty, 14-months-old
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hardesty,
of Nutwell, in the Eighth district of
Anne Arundel county, beautiful
baby boy, died from coal oil poison
ing. The child drank from a bottle
of coal oil which caused its death.
The Hardesty family Sunday after
noon, had been on a launching trip
and had just put coal oil in the tank,
setting the bottle with the remaining
contents, a small quantity down.
The baby was crawling around and
espying the bottle, did what all babies
do, put it to it's mouth. swallowing a
sufficient quantity, although there
was but little left in the bottle, to
cause its death.
Realizing the seriousness OF the
baby's act, the parents rushed the
child with all possible haste, to the
Emergency Hospital, where every
thing possible was done to save the
child's life, but to no avail. The lit
tie fellow died last night
The body was prepared for burial
by Undertaken B. l.. Hopping, and
was conveyed today to the home OF
the sorrowing parents at Nutwell.
The dead baby is said to have been
one of the most beautiful children
ever admitted as a patient at the
Emergency Hospital.

.D|SMISSES ACTION
TO TEST VALIDITY OF
''SUFF' AMENDMENT
By The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 49,
Justice Bailey in the District SUI
preme Court dismissed today injunc-
ton proceedings brought by Charles
Fairchilds, of New York, president
of the American Constitutional
League. to prevent the PRONUNCIATION
of the ratification of the suffrage
amendment and to test the validity
of the equal suffrage law.
Hearings on the motion were held
before Justice Bailey. Mr.. Fairchilds,
former Secretary of the Treasury. in
the Cleveland Cabinet, argued for the
plaintiff and Solicitor-General Frier-
son, and Assistant United States At
torney Archer appeared for the Gov
eminent officials. The Government
council argued that the plaintiff did
not show in his bill any peculiar in
terest in the subject matter.
They also denied that Mr. Fair
childs' bill set forth any condition re-
quiring the equitable relief and COM
mented further that the plaintiff had
not shown evidence of any emergency
calling for injunction relief. In this
connection they pointed out that the
necessary number of States have not
notified the Secretary of State of rati-
fication of the suffrage amendment
and that therefor no proclamation OF
the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment is imminent.

CHURCH DIVIDED ON
DIVORCE QUESTION

A dispatch from London SAYS the
Church of England is divided against
itself in the discussion of divorce,
While many clergymen on their OWL
initiative have decided to refuse re-
marriage to divorced persons, the
Arch-deacon Charles, preaching al
Westminster Abbey, said the atti ude
that marriage was indissoluble, how
ever fragrant the guilt of the husband
or wife, was a Misrepresentation OF
Christ's teachings on this sNbject.
Christ, by accepting the jewish
law relating to the guilty VIE he
said. land confning his ow enact
ments to less grievous offenders. al
lows the right of divorce on the
ground of misconduct, as Well as the
subsequent remarriage on the part of
the guiltless person, out forbids di-
vorce on any lesser ground.
There is no Justification in Christs
teaching for the attitude assumed by
ecclesiastics/ who deny the right of. in
case of misconduct. subsequent mar
riage 20 the guiltless person-nor
have ecclesiastics the right TO deny
communion TO such persons"
Nevertheless, some eighty clergy
men signed a declaration not TO re-
hmarry divorced persons. When asked
to give his ruling on this action the
Bishop of London said it was quite
immaterial, inasmlch as not one of
the clergymen concerned had any
power in the matter without the di-
Iection of the Bishop.

Previous to the convention SEN
ator Johnson openly admitted that
the platform did not furnish the
standard around which to fight,
but that personality of the candi-
date would be the dominating fac
tor in the campaign. The tenor of
his statement would seem TO in
dictate that he expects the Repub-
lican Presidential nominee to re-
pudiate the treaty and league
just as Borah and Johnson previ-
ously have done. Or failing in this
the Senator from California might
be satisfied if the nominee simply
ignored the whole thing. Either
Johnson is due for a shock or the
rank and file of the party is to be
keenly disappointed.
