 of Law Requiring
 Licenses to Marry

PHOENIX, Jan. 12.-The matri- monial tangle of the Russian Molokan colonies near Glendale, Aria, resulting from an unknown number of mar riages with no official record thereof. seemed a little nearer unraveling to- night. Mike Pivovoroff and Homer Bagdonoff, priests of the Molokans, were arraigned before Judge Stanford in the superior court late today and pleas of guilty to charges of law vio- lation by officiating at marriage cere- monies without licenses having been issued were entered for them by their counsel, B. M. Marks.
 In extenuation of the acts of his clients, Mir Marks said:
 Tn their own country. Russia, these people don't know what a license is. When two young people want to get married, each announces in the pres ence of the whole community his lik ing for each other. The parents then discuss the matter and come to an agreement which is virtually the mar riage"

stitution does not create jurisdiction but only appropriates it, and ac- cordingly, under the constitution, the supreme court had no jurisdiction in such a case as that from New Jersey. That attitude upheld the contentious of Solicitor General King and New Jersey authorities in their arguments made January ,.
 In attacking the constitutionality of the amendment today, Attorney General Herbert A. Rice of Rhode Island questioned the validity of it's ratification as well as of the passage of the resolution by congress and asserted the amendment was an in terference with state police powers.
 In a brief filed, the Rhode Island attorney general argued that enforce ment of national prohibition would affect injuriously the relations of Rhode Island and that because the defendants named in the case are outside the boundaries of that state, the supreme court was the proper tribunal in which to bring the suit.
 These contentious were denied by the government, which asserted that the questions involved are political and that the court was without juris- dictiOn.
