OILING ROADS

Cost of permanent work on high
ways is proving SO great this year,
that some states are setting aside
their plans for concrete and macad-
am work. They will substitute oiling,
as temporary makeshift.
This is a disappointing outcome. 1t
shows the folly of the people who OPP
posed good roads work at time
when it could have been done for nalf
the money.
You can't make hard road simply
by turning oil into dust. And you
don't repair macadam worn full of
holes, simply by oling it. But if a
road is made of fairly good material
a good oil may hold it together All
supplies of oil used in Vermont
should be carefully tested to see if
they have good binding qualities.

cannot vote, who, if she had been
man could not have voted under
the laws of the State where she
lives. She must in all respects have
the publications which men voters
must have under the election laws,
but if she fulfls these requirements,
she can vote and the State cannot

on The new amendment can preju

Election officers of the State who
impede or deny her right to vote eX
pose themselves to prosecution under
statUtes-whether Federal or State
enacted to protect citizens in their
lawful right to vote. 1t may
well be that the doubling Of the
number Of voters in every State by
this amendment will require, for the
convenience OF voters, amendments
to the election laws of the States.
But such inconvenience cannot be
made any excuse for preventing
women from exercising the franchise.
ANY State official who is part Of
the election machinery and attempts
to exercise the power to decide that
an amendment duly proclaimed by
the Secretary of State as adopted is
inalid, and thus to block action on
voting under it will be assuming a
grievous burden of responsibility,
likely to return to plague him. In
such case it is plainly the duty of
the State official to accent the deci-
sion of the secretary Of State and to
leave to the courts to reverse that
decision if invalid"
All women who are otherwise
qualified will have a right to vote in
the November election.

The Red Star line steamship Kroon-

hours, as precaution by the health
officers. The vessel had four cases Of

patient was put through various tests.

Strip of Land, Less Than
Hairs Width, Brings $158

A fraction of a lot in Spokane
County: Washington, less than the
width of a hair and SO feet long was
sold for $158.42 at a delinquent tax
sale at the Treasurer's office in Spo-
kane. This is probably the record price
for any realty in this part Of the coun-
try. according to county officials. The
strip, 1882 of an inch wide, was
bought by George w. Shaffer, an at
torney. He is said to have been bid
ding for a man by the name of Blaine,
who sought to prevent J. E. Depew
from getting title to the strip of
ground, 50x90 feet.
n. L. Montgomery, who owned a lot
IN Petit townsite at Elk, failed to pav
taxes upon it and j. E. Depew bought
the tax certificate against it and peti-
toned for the foreclosure of the GER
tifcate.
When Mr.. Depew appeared to bid IN
the lot for the certificate Mr.. Shaffer
began to bid against him. Mr.. Depew
ilrst offered to pay the taxes against
the lot, S15S.42. Mr.. Shaffer offered to
pay this sum for title to half the lot
Ihey continued to offer to paw the
taxes to obtain title to smaller and
smaller portions until one bid the
amount of the taxes for one foot of the
property. The other then offered the
sum for one inch
After this bid there was consulta-
tlop OF deputies of the county at
to1ney's office. They decided the bid
ding was legal and bidding was per-
mltted to continue
The two continued Offering the
amount due against the property till
finally the offer of Mr. Shaffer to paw
the $15S.42 for the 1882 of an inch
was accepted.
Depew was anxious to obtain pos
session of the full lot but for some
unknown legal reason, which was not
disclosed, Mr.. Shaffer's client was de-
termined that he should not have it.
Mr.. Blaine will get title to 1892 of
an inch, while the remainder of the
property will revert to Montgomery.

Photo Marriages Held
Invalid in Washington
Both Parties to Nuptials Must
BE Present, Says Attorney
General

IN an opinion transmitted to Fred
Z. brown, prosecuting attorney of
King County, Wash, in reply to an in
quiry as to the validity of the "picture
bride" ceremony of marriage practiced
by Japanese residents of the state, At
torney General Thompson takes the
view that such marriages are illegal
While it is impossible to predict what
view the courts of Washington would
take upon this question. with any de-
gree OF certainty" says the opinion,
.ound public policy would require the
courts to declare such marriages in
valid"
Assuming that the picture bride
ceremony is consummated by execu-
tion of documentary notification, the
woman being a Japanese and the man
in the state, but that they do not ap-
pear in person at the same time before
a person authorized to soiemnlze mar
rlages and orally agree to the marriage
relation as is required by the laws of
this state, the opinion says:
"This system of~entering into The
marriage relation is at variance with
American ideas of the nature of such a
relation While marriage is viewed as
a contract in the eyes of the law, it is
special contract, in which the state
has direct concern and which cannot
be rescinded without the consent of the
state. Accordingly the Supreme Court
of this state has refused to recognize
the validity of comm on-law marriages
sought to be entered into in this state.
"In our opinion the true rule should
be that residents Of this state, while
they remain within the borders of the
state, can only enter into the marriage
relation in the manner provided by our
statutes. A marriage consummated by
a Japanese resident of this state who
does not leave the state under the laws
of Japan should therefore be held il
legal.
"Tn this connection, however, we
might state that the report of the
United States Commissioner General Of
immigration for the year 1912 indi-
Gates that it is the general practice Of
the Bureau of immigration to require
the parties to go through a marriage
ceremony at the immigration station
before the wife is allowed to enter this
country. The validity of such mar
riage would obviously not be affected
by any prior marriage consummated
under Japanese laws. The foregoing is
based upon the assumption that no such
ceremony is performed d"-Seattle Post

of Plantin's Birth
To Be Celebrated

The four hundredth anniversary of
the birth Of Christophe Plantin, the
noted French printer of the sixteenth
century, will be commemorated with
appropriate ceremonies in Antwerp
Plantin was son of Belgium only
through adoption. He was born some
where in historic Touraine
1t was the peculiar achievement Of
Plantin to bring honor and glory to
the printers trade in the days Of it's
infancy. With deep appreciation of
the beauties of literature, Plantin de-
lighted in perfecting his workmanship
in order that those beauties might be-
published in the most attractive formal
possible, although his tools were those
of common workman.
His chef d'euvre was the famous
Biblia polyglotta- published in 1869
1573-an attempt at scientific revision
of the text of the Old and New Testa-
ments. 1t was published in the Greek,
Hebrew, Syrian and Chaldean Ian
guages.
AS result of this monumental work
Plantn received from King Philip of
Spain the title "prototypographus re-
gus" and the right to print all the
liturgical books for the states embraced
in King Philips far-fung empire.-De-

Prisoner Begged Sister-in-
Law to Elope With Him;
Woman Taken to Hospital
With 3 Bullet Wounds

Rudolph Needrit, of $40 West 168th
Street, was locked up early yesterday
morning at the West 177th Street police
station, accused of shooting Mrs
Charles Needrit, his brothers wife,
three times while trying to shoot his
brother. Mrs. Needrit is in St. Law
renee Hospitap. One bullet penetrated
her abdomen, one entered her side near
her heart, and the third went through
her right arm. Her husband is unhurt
According to the police, both brothers
had been her suitors in Germany, and
ten years ago she married Charles and
came to the United States. Rudolph
followed at the first opportunity, the
police say, and has been pressing his
suit upon her despite the fact that she
was his brothers wife
Saturday Rudolph is said to have
sent registered letter to his sister
in-law pleading with her to elope with
him to California. She told the police
that she showed the missive to her
husband, who turned Rudolph away

Sergeant Thomas Martin, of the

Charles Needrit, and came down in his
pajamas at sound of the shots. He
caught Rudolph as he was leaving the
building. According to Martin, the
