HOW MALE BIRD OF
LOVE NEST" HOPES
TO FLUTTER FREE
Puts Faith in Word and In
serted in Connecticut LGIO
200 Years Ago.

I BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 23.-The
word "and" inserted in the State bigamy
law by legislators nearly 200 years ago
makes it possible for plural marriages to
be contracted in Connecticut with prar-
teal immunity from prosecution, accord
ing TO leading lawmakers today.
When Herbert Thornton Andrews, New
York broker, who lived with two wives
in Jersey City, appears for a hearing
next week In Greenwich, where he is al
legged to have married the second woman,
the prosecutions hand will be tied by
the defective statute. IL was said.
"a clause in the State bigamy law
makes it virtually impossible to convict
a person who has left one State to marry
unlawfully in another unless it is proved
that he cohabited in the State in which
he was Illegally welded Earl Garlock,
assistant States attorney, said in an
opinion on the law.
This clause reads:
Every person who shall marry an
other If either be then lawfully married.
and shall live with each other as hus-
band and wife shall be liable ."
Capitalization is the thing which. when
proved. will secure a conviction" GarIock
continued. IF 1t can be proved that any
person already lawfully married comes
into Connecticut, married unlawfulIy and
then establishes a residence in this State,
that person can be prosecuted under the
existing law.
But If he comes merely to Connect
= cut for the purpose of marrying unlaw-
3 fully and then returns at once to the
, State from which he came conviction is
Every uncertain, because he hasn't CO.
babitaated in this State with the unlaw-
fully welded person"

WALL ST. BLAST
Italian Anarchist Is Held for
Identification.

SCRANTON, Pa. April 23.-The case
against Tito Ligi, italian anarchist, held
on suspicion Of being implicated in the
wholesale bomb murders IN Wall street

tify him.

looked at a Photograph Of Ligi and
found IN II a resemblance to the man
who drove the wagon containing the In
fernaI machine TO the corner of Broad
and Wall streets
After the explosion a man believed to
be the wagon driver climbed to a scat
folding on a building in course of con
struction next door to the Stock Exchange
and said excitedly:
That's my horse lying dead down
there
He referred to the horse that had
drawn the bomb wagon.
Raymond Clark, foreman of a gang OF
laborers, heard the remark. He was one
OF those who looked at the photograph
and who will confront Ligi here.

REMEDIES NEAR
FOR ADJUSTING
RAILWAYS ILLS
Washington Views Depression
Due to Roads Plight
Acts Accordingly.
HINT SLASH IN RATES

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Remedies for
the Nations transportation Ills, regarded
here as the chief cause for the Industrial
and agricultural slump, are nearer than
has been generally supposed, it was
learned today.
President Harding knows of some Of
these proposed steps and has had a
hand in framing them, but he has not
felt able TO announce them as yet This
explains in part why the President, while
believing the railroad and economic sit
uation is the most serious confronting
his Administration, has not put forward
any plan for its solution
Harding has been told that unless
something is done about the railroads
there Will be another coal shortage next
winter the agricultural slump Will grow
no better, all industry Will be hampered
and some industries may be killed due
to the size and inequities of the present
freight rates
One member of the Cabinet has told
the President that unless something is
done the whole geography of the coun-
try will be changed"
RESTS WITH /. c. C.
AND RNIL BOARD.
Meanwhile the situation is in the hands
of the interstate commerce commission
and railrc>l labor board. Both are
judicial bodies, and not even the Presi-
dent can forecast judicial decisions even
though he might have some intima ton
of them.
1t is known however, that railway
managers soon viii ask lower freight
rates on some commodities including
many classes of farm products The in
terstate commerce commission is ex-
pected to promptly grant these requests.
Should the request fail to materialize the
interstate commerce commission has the
power to initiate lower and more eQuit-
able rates.
EXPECT LIGHT
FROM SENATE PROBE
conference of labor, capital and the
farmers to consider the railroad and in
dustrial situation has been proposed to
Harding.
The proposed Senate investigation may
illustrate the necessity for changes in
the present transportation act.
If all other means fail the Government
still has power TO declare than an emer-
gency exists and take over the roads,
something Harding and his advisers are
loath to do.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court may put
the whole railroad problem back into
the lap of Congress by declaring the
transportation act unconstitutional.

CREDIT TO BE
MADE EASIER
FOR FARMERS
Government Promises Relief to
Agriculture Through
Elastic Rules.
BANKERS GIVEN NOTICE

WASHINGTON. April 23.-The Gov
ernment has taken decisive step to re-
-Heve the credit dangers that menace the
gfarmers, officials explained today
eGreater banking support for the produc-
ers is assured as a result of the Admin
istration's firm purpose to bring about
more liberal accommodations, through
sthe banking system, to various branches
of agriculture.
!, Substantial and immediate financial
laid to the farmers, therefore, through
tthe more or less elastic rules of the bank
ing system, and with the approval OF
those In control of their policies has
sbeen determined upon.
COMPTROLLER of the Currency Crissing-
.ers new policy, it is announced, VIII De
sto stimulate bankers credits to agrieul-
stural purposes, and to bring about a
more liberal attitude on the part OF the
bankers in granting renewals on out
standing obligations as a means OF
enabling the producers to tide themselves
over the present emergency.
Plans for relief Of the farming in
adustry are said not to have gone TO the
point Of requiring any changes by the
Federal Reserve board in It's estao-
lIshed rules The word has gone forth
to bankers everywhere that the farms
must be saved through banking help, and
through a more generous measure OF
credit aid, which, ii is possible for bank
ers generally, to offer in the form Of re-
newals or new loans.
The attitude of the leading officials to-
day is that interior bankers in the big
crop growing sections of the country
must recognize it as their duty now to
sustain their industries, on which the
banks themselves primarily depend. Of
fetal records offer proof, officials said,
that huge sums of depositors' funds, In
stead of being loaned to alleviate the
plight Of home industries, have found
their way to highly speculative uses and
that much money is being employed at
this time. Release of such credits, it is
expected, will help solve some OF the
financial troubles Of the producers.

BIG AMERICAN
DEALLEADS TO
HUN REQUEST
German Appeal to Harding
Guided by Group Of
Financiers.
LEADERS FORCED TO ACT

BERLIN, April 2s.-The mammoth
shadow of American business doomed to-
day as the guiding spirit that prompted
the German appeal to President Hard
ing.
The correspondent is able to disclose
the substance Of the mysterious nego-
tiations that resulted in Germany
dramatic action in directly soliciting the
mediation of the President of country
with which she is still technically st
war.
A group of American attorneys rep
resentfng American cotton growers, bank
ers and holders of vast supplies Of raw
materials, first completed financial ar
rangements for credits amounting to
81. 800 600 900 and then came to Germany
to sell and put over a gigantic Amer
lean deal
GERMANY CONFRONTED
BY INVASION DANGER.
They found Germany confronted by
serious danger of q fresh French inva-
sion.
They heard of vague threats of allied
confiscatlon of any goods shipped into
Germany from anywhere as part OF
scheme to coerce the Germans They
found the German government apparently
at a standstill. Thus, they arrived at
dead stop in the negotiations, which re-
ouired only international guarantees
against confiscatiOn.
So they forced the leaders OF the Ger
man industries which depended on their
deal to prevail upon the German govern
ment TO act.
The German government got In toucn
with the American attorneys, who gave
their viewpoints as Americans and urged
Immediately new proposals by Germany
if she would avert a catastrophe.
These conferences directly led to the
appeal to President Harding.
MISSION ONE
OF BUSINESS.
The Americans say they are here on
strictly business mission and that they
took a hand in the political arena only
because of the necessity Of securing
guarantees for their big industrial group.
That group is representative mainly OF
fnanciers In the South and on the Pacific
coast.
The attorneys are L. Fl. Defries, inter
national lawyer with offices in New York
and London, and L. NJ. Hoefer, lawyer
of San Francisco and New York.
Dr. Richard Moldenke of New York Is
consulting engineer.
The mission is staying at the Deutscher
Garten here.

Japs Would Yield to
Z. S. on zap Issue

WASHINGTON. April 23.-Japan Is
prepared to make concession to the Unit
ed States in the dispute over the Island
of zap, according to authoritative Opin-
ION here today. However this will not
be done for some time.
Despite reports from Toxic that Japan
will remain obdurate In insisting upon
the validity Of the mandate over zap, It
was learned here that high japanese au-
thorities incline TO view that every nation
vitality interested in the zap Issue must
eventually make concessions and that no
one power can have its full claims ac-
cepted.
