Senator Cole, still remarkably active.

10 the fact that he has lived IN
moderation. Still. he says. he has used

profession Of having been total ABB

"I suppose my long life Is due in the
mAin 10 the fact that / have avoided
exccsscs and extremes" he said.
"WhAt do you think Of prohibition
at doesn't work we'll, does II? There's
too much bootlcgging."
Asked wether the Senate In his day
would have voted for tho Volstead act
and how 1t felt on woman suffrage, he
SWell. those subjects were not given
much thought in my day. SO far as
suffrage is concerned only a few then
advocated IT, The idea then was that
the family was the unit OF political
life"
Asked to compare the Senate Of to-
day with that of his day, Senator Cole
laughed and replied: Il couldn't az
that. 1t wouldn't be Senatorial
courtesy"
The increased membership Of Con.
gress, Senator Cole said, was the chief
thing that impressed him in comparing
Congress to-day with Congress when
he served.

him what il cost TO be a Senator back

Murphy Denied
A nnuln ent:
Has Two Wives
Court Rules First Mate of
Financier's Brother Did
MOI Refuse Attentions of
Husband, as He Charged

At the close Of the case yesterday
Justice Wasservogel decided from
the bench in favor OF Mrs. Gertrude s.
Murphy in the suit brought by Edward
Mallct Provost Murphy to have their
marriage snnullcd.
Justice wasservogel said he could
not believe that there was any pre-
conceived plan on the part Of Mrs.
Murphy to refuse to accept the atten-
tions Of her husband after their mar
riage or that she had been the unrc-
sponsiye wife Mr.. Murphy declared she
was.
Murphy Now Has. Two Wives
This decision by the court places Mr.
Murphy in an unusual position. The
husband, who IS brother Of Colonel
Grayson NJ. p. Murphy. nnancier. now
has two wives, one the woman whose
marriage to him he sought to annul in
the New York court and the other
whom he married after obtaining de-
cree Of annulment from his first wife
in Reno, New. whore also the second
marriage took place.
After obtaining the Reno decree in
1920, Mr.. Murphy took as his second
wife Mrs. Sidney L. Price Johnston,
widow of a United States army officer.
So far as the laws of Nevada were con-
cerncd this second marriage was legal
because the decree annulling the first
was issued in that state. And thet
second marriage is still binding in
Nevada. But in New York II was diff
fcrent.
Mrs. Gertrude s. Murphy, the nrst
wife, attacked the Nevada decree
against her on the ground that she was
never in the jurisdiction OF the Ne
vada courts and that she did not de-
fcnd the action. Thereupon the Ne
vada decree was held 10 be not bind
ing or valid in New York. Mr.. Murphy
and tho second Mrs. Murphy, having
acted in good faith in marrying in
Nevada, where also the annullment
decree was in legal effect. there was
no act Of bicamy on the part Of Mr..
Murphv. but the fact now is that he
has one wife under the laws Of Nevada
and another under the laws o! New
York. Mr.. Murphy and his second wife
are living at 9ll Park Avenue.
At odds With His Mother
The New York Mrs. Murphy, before
her marriage was secretary in the
Office of Grayson NJ. P. Murphy & Co.
Her husband also was employed there
AZ a salary Of $50 week. Mrs. Mur-
phy said that she was married TO the
brother Of her employer, but she had
no knowledge or thought Of his pros
pect Of future wealth. She and her
husband lived in the same apartmc nj
with Mr.. Murphy's mother and daugh-
tor. and the former secretary was fo-
minded that she did not have tie same
social status Of the Murphys. Mrs
Murphy and her mothcr-in-law did not
live together in harmony.
NJ Murphy is suing her husband
for a separation. but that case will be
tried later. She bases this action on
abandonment. The decision Of yes
terday applied only to the action
brought here by Mr.. Murphy. after his
Reno decree was held invalid in New
York
