DIVORCE EVIL
PULPIT TOPIC
Rev. Mr.: Neidermsyer Tells Of
Appalling Conditions For
Legal Remedies

An expectant congregation assem-
bled in the First Presbyterian church
of this city last night for the e
ing service. having been informed
of the sermon on THE Divorce Evil'
by the announcement in the Even
ing News. which received much at
tention.
The pastor. Rev. Frederick d.
Niedermeyer. IL. D.. chose for his
subject Christ's teaching about di-
vorce as recorded in the Gospel OF
Mark 10: 1-2.
When we measure divorce condi-
tons to-day" he asserted, "by
the teachings of Jesus Christ. the re-
suits are appalling. When one out
of every twelve or thirteen marri-
ages ends in divorce. and when one
state recently profited to the extent
of $4S0,000 in one year by granting
divorces to 800 people. we al un-
derstand why f~ar-seeing statesmen
and other citizens are working for a
federal law controlling divorce.
Legal remedies should be provid-
ed" he continued, but there should
be also an improvement in public
opinion on which to found better
laws.
The teaching of greater s~trictness
in social relations between the SEX
es is one remedy which all right
thinking people can help to make ef-
fective. Young people should be
taught that their persons are toe
sacred for familiar contacts. Petting
parties are fundamentally danger
Gus and must not be condoned.
Another step Is the encourage
ment to a greater reverence for an
engagement to marry. 1t is not a
game. nor a filtration, but a be-
trothal. a making of mutual prom
ises. and the entire honesty of both
persons should be pledged.
"A third constructive step Is great
er reverence for the welded state
and the marriage VOW. Jokesters,
who continually poke fun at mar
rage r doing i~ncalculable harm.
Marriage was ordained of God and
established for the welfare of man
kind, and it should be held sacred
and as coming from God.
I'm nearly every divorce case
there Is an innocent person who has
suffered untold shame and mental
anguish. Toward such unfortunate
persons we should manifest the deep
est sympathy and the highest
Christian friendliness and love. But
the guilty person. guilty on scriptu-
raj grounds, should not be permit
ted to think himself blameless. The
v~iolator Of the seventh command
ment is az truly a law-breaker as
the transgressor of the sixth COM
mandment, which says, Thou shalt
not kill"

FINANCIAL.

New York, April 17.-All records for
the current and previous year on tho
stock exchange were broken Monday
when dealings mounted to the stupen-
dous total Of 2,o50, 900 shares and tho
number OF separate issues traded In
assumed corresponding dimensions.
Trading was on an extra ordinary scale
from the beginning. the volume OF buy
ing orders received over the Sunday
recess taxing the machinery OF the ex-
change almost to Its capacity.
In the forenoon, the turnover was on
a basis of $4,000 shares an hour. and
this high pressure Of activity was only
silently diminished in the last half Of
Further lowering Of call money rates
was one Of several stimulating features
of the day. Call loans opened at per
cent but soon dropped to S1s per cent
private loans.
The sensational elements OF the ses-
sion were furnished by oils, that group,
almost by common impulse, extending
last Saturdays gains by l to points.
Rails. coppers. equipments and several
similar advances. but the entire list be-
came unsettled at midday on sinelair's
reaction OF more than points.
Thechnical conditions. namely the
markets top heavy position and cables
announcing treaty agreement between
Germany and Russia, accelerated the
reversal. much Of which later was re-
trieved. Steels made little recovery, how
ever, these issues coming in for fresh
attacks on advices from Pittsburgh in
dicating that the coal strike had become
a distinct influence in that industry.
Rails, especially junior issues such as
st. Paul, common and preferred, Chesa-
peake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio and
Minneapolis & st. Louis. were proof
against pressure, with coppers and sew
eral of the domestic oils and specialties
showing pronounced strength.
The news from Genoa failed Of reflec-
ton in the foreign exchange market
where all quotations, including British
and allied remittances rose above last
weeks closing prices.

ALEX D0NNELLY
AVOIDS PRISON
THROUGH YOUTH
One Boy Burglar Goes to Re
formatory; Other Will Serve
Five to 10 Years.

A prison sentence of not less than
five nor more than 10 years, at hard
labor, was pronounced Monday upon
John King Holliway. aged 20, confess
ed burglar and bandit, while his part
ner, Alex Donnelly, aged II, was or
dered committed to the state industrial
school at Miles City until he reaches
the age of q. The youths pleaded
guilty Saturday to the robbery of the
Springer bakery, 1901 Fifth avenue
north, while they confessed to author
tiles that they committed four other
robberies and looted six Great Falls
homes. Sentences were pronounced by
Judge II. H. Ewing.
Uncle Asks Leniency
Judge Ewing fixed the punishment
after Attorney ]. W. Speer and an un-
Gle of Holliway's had made pleas for
leniency. Mr.. Speer said that both
boys had never before appeared in
court on criminal charges and that
their conduct In the past had been good.
Both Donnelly and Holliway, he said,
were formerly employed by the Great
Northern railway and had performed
satisfactory labor until last fall, when
both were laid off because of slack
times. Mr.. Speer said they would
never have been involved in crime had
their employment continued. Holli-
ways uncle testified to the honesty Of
his nephew, saying that the youth had
lived with him for several years.
II can do nothing more than send
DonnelIv to the reform school," said
Judge Ewing. "The law does not per-
1.
tentiary. If it did, / could not let him
off"
The court remanded Donnelly to the
custody of Probation Officer A. A. Car
penter. who will take the youth to
Miles City Wednesday morning.
Il feel sorry for your mother and
you" said the court in sentencing Hol-
liway. 1T is not a pleasant duty for
this court to pass sentence on young
fellow like you. But you have COM
mitted a serious crime and If you were
man of more mature years, / would
not hesitate in giving you life lmpris-
onment. But ! must take into con-
sideration your age
Judge Refuses Interviews
Before the two boys had been call
ed up for sentence. Judge Ewing told
those in the courtroom that several
persons had made an effort to inter
view him regarding their cases. He
said the interviews had been refused
because the law does not allow him
to discuss cases prior to the passing
of sentences. The court invited all
persons who wished to make remarks
in behalf of or against the boys to
make them in open court.
The court room was half filled with
friends and relatives Of the two boys.
Mrs. Donnelly and her sons wife, a
bride of less than two months, wept
while sentence was being pronounced
With the exception of Holliway's uncle,
none of the relatives of the boys made
any effort to intervene In their be-
half.
Holliway will be taken to Deer Lodge
Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Huotari.
