WILL FACE JURY FIX HUNS DEBT
Chicago Negro Policeman Must
Answer for Life of Girl.
Case Was Pushed to Trial by
Governor Allen.

Chicago, May 17.-Dorsey Cham
bliss. negro policeman and two other
negroes went on trial in criminal
court today in connection with the
death of Bertha Weibeck, 16-year-old
white girl of Pawnee Rock, Kan. The
defendants ChambIiss. Emma Ross.
and James Murphy, are charged with
abduction and seduction.
The girl. who came to Chicago to
obtain employment, died after being
rescued from a negro resort, where she
claimed she had been lured by the
policeman.
She died In a Chicago hospital and
In a death bed statement accused Dor
sey Chambliss, Chicago negro police
man, of betraying her into a negro
dive where she was visited by men of
his race. Physicians claim her death
was due partly to the sufferings she
underwent during her five months
monia.
The indictments were brought about
as a result of an investigation by Gov
ernor Allen. of Kansas, who personally
came to Chicago to demand justice for
the dead girl. Governor Allen charged
that political influences were at work
to protect Chambliss and prevent his
trial, and he carried his appeal for ac-
ton direct to Governor Frank o. Low
den of Illinois and Attorney General
Brundage.
The investigation of the case Jagged
for several weeks, until Governor AL
len, ninety-three Chicago women's
clubs and other organizations took a
hand and demanded speedy action.

statutes and court opinions. Hopkins
agreed to be prepared for a hearing
which was set for Tuesday afternoon

withheld it's stock selling until this
action could be taken. Then Hopkins
announced he would substitute his
own opinion as substitute for rul-
ing from the supreme court and sub
NIT it to the charter board.
Even Hopkins's personal mandate
was not ready when the board took
up the case today. Attorneys for the
Bank Holding corporation asked Hop

Laws ''Foolishly Absurd"
1axness of the laws of marriage and
divorce is ''unquestionably one of the
most fruitful causes of the prevalent
and growing divorce evil' the report
states, emphasizing the need of better
laws regulating marriage. Many of
the marriage and divorce laws of the
states are described as "foolishly alb
suid."
Amendment to the constitution to
give the federal government control
over the matter is suggested but owing
to the time this would require legisla-
tive enactment in the several states is
recommended in the meantime. The
report recommended among other
things the publishing of the marriage
bans for at least thirty days before
the rite can be celebrated: physical
examination of each party by a physi-
clan and the esta blishment of a uni
form code which as nearly as possible
should conform to the basis of Bible
teaching concerning the ground of di-
vorce with the right of marriage and
that in all other cases where divorces
be granted it be without the right to
re-marriage."
