MANY ILLEGALLY WE'D
Forgotten Canadian Statute Re-
sarding Nationality of Offieiat-
ing Clergyman Reveals Thou
sands Are Without the Law.
(Bv The Associated preks.l

Montreal, Jan. 25.-Study of Quebec
statutes has just revealed that thou
sands of marriages have been illegally
performed in this province during the
last one hundred years, because of the
nationality of officiating clergy
An act passed in 1929 before the
Canadian confederation was formed
and while Quebec was still the British
colony of Lower Canada, provided
that only clergymen who were British
subjects could perform marriage cere-
monies. When, in 1867, Quebec Joined
the other provinces to form the do
minion, she retained her civil law in
tact.
According to an opinion rendered
by the attorney general department
the only way to regularize the situa-
ton is to introduce in the legislature
a bill declaring that. Notwithstanding
the act of 1929, all marriages per-
formed since that time by clergYmen
of recognized standing were to be con-
sidered legal.

TESTS HIS POWER
German Chancellor Submits
Preparations to Reichstag.
Payment Plan Must Be Decided
in Twenty-Four Hours.
FORCED LOAN NOW PROPOSED
Government Would Make Rich
Citizens Disgorge.
General Taxation Scheme Also
To Be Voted Upon.
FORCED LOAN NOW PROPOSED.

Berlin Jan. 26.-Chancel1or With
faced a severe test of strength in the
reichstag this afternoon. He is to de-
liver a speech outlining Germanyls. in
demnity program and the possibility
of new forms of taxation.
Germany has twenty-four hours in
which to submit to the allies the gov
ernment's plan for guarantees. which
was one of the conditions of the par
tai moratorium granted during the
meeting of the supreme council at
Cannes.
Under the terms of the partial NOR
atorium, Germany was. to pay 31.e00,-
definite scheme was worked out. The
first payment was duly made last
week
Friends of the chancellor predicted
that he would emerge from this aft
ernoons plenary session of the reichs-
tag stronger than ever" despite the
dangers of the situation.
The government has already drawn
up note for submission to the guar
antee commission but parts of it were
left blank pending the reception the
reichstag would give to the plan this
afternoon The chancellor said he
would withhold nothing and that he
would stand or fall in open battle.' .
Forced Loan Is Issue.
The political situation has been fur
ther aggravated by the proposal for a
forced loan from the country's rich
est citizens. This would be a blow
to the Germans peoples party which
is led by men of wealth. This politi-
cal party probably would demand rep
| resentation in the government if the
! cabinet puts the enforced loan plan
into effect.
It is believed the chiefs of the Ger
man peoples party would demand the
post of minister of finance as their
price for consenting to the loan. It is
possible, however, that a compromise
| may be effected.
The reichstag is scheduled to vote
| this evenin-, after the chancellor's
speech. on a general taxation scheme
which included the provision for a
| forced loan of forty billion paper

NINETEEN MILLION STARVING
League of Nations Relief Committee
Has Not Enough Funds for Work.
(By the Associated Press)


Geneva, Jan. 26.-Nineteen million
persons are suffering intensely for
want of food in Russia, and fifteen
million viii certainly die unless sue
cored; DR.. Fridtjof hansen told the
League of Nations international COM
mittee on relief in Russia here yester-
day. Doctor Nansen said he was dis
satisfied with the way in which the
Russian government had acted under
agreement signed on August 81, the
transportation situation especially leav-
ing much to be desired.
In giving the new details of the
situation in Russia, he declared, the
total population affected was thirty
three million, and it was now too late
to save all, even if the workers were
able to use the railroad lines at full
capacity. As a matter of fact, it would
only be possible to move six hundred
tons of cereals between now and the
harvest, which even if nothing were
withheld for seed, could only save six
or seven million persons.
Furthermore, the committee had in
sufficient funds at present to buy the
necessary stocks. the 100000 gold
francs at its disposal being made
quate. More funds must be raised
Before the month of May, after which
all help will be in vain.

MOTHER SAYS NO
Accuser of Tex Richard SIN
huencedU Counter Charge.
Additional Testimony Sought
Against Boxing Promoter.

New York, Jan. 26.-Two more
school girls, one an accuser and the
other a witness against TEX Rick
ard, are being sought by the Chill
dren's Society to add to the one ac-
cuser and three witnesses already
lined up against the millionaire
sporting promoter, it was disclosed
today.
Officials of the society hope to get
in touch with the girls before next
Monday evening, when a continuation
of the preliminary hearing of the
charges against Richard in west side
court is scheduled to take place.
Richard is still at liberty on $1,000
bail awaiting the outcome of the
hearing. In the first stage of the
preliminary hearing, Richards coun-
sell Max Steuer. failed to shake ma
terially tn" testimony of 15-year-old
Alice Ruck against him
The most dramatic incident of the
hearing came when the Ruck girls
mother appealed to Magistrate Simp-
son, almost in tears that her daugh-
ter had been influenced and had
never had anything to do with the
boxing promoter.

MORE Welded men
Increase of Over Per Cent
Says Z. S. Census.
Immigration Not Propensity to
Wed Given as Cause.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The proper
ton of married men to the total male
population of the country Is years of
age and over increased from 55.s per
cent to 59.2 per cent in the ten years
preceding the 1920 census, according
to a COMPILATION of marital statistics
made public today by the census
bureau.
The bureau believed, however, that
this was probably more indicative of
a change in the age composition of
the population-an increase in the
percentage of male and between IS
and IS years old due to increased i'm
migration-than a growing propensity
to matrimony
OF the total male population of
53,9OO,431 above the 15-year CLASH
fication, the census figures showed
21,S49,266 married, 1,76S, 30S widowed
and 235,2S4 divorced, the latter figure,
however, including none divorced and
remarked. The divorce total showed
an increase of 20 per cent in its ratio
to the total population during the ten
year period, constituting six-tenths of
per cent of the latter against five
tenths in 1910.
Altho, due to the absence of the
wives of many foreign born residents,
the number of married women was
shown to be about 100000 less than
the male total, the number of divorced
women exceeded men by approximate
ly forty thousand, representing closely
the difference between the number of
men and women remarked after
divorce

Objections to Harding Ship
Subsidy Come Rapidly.
Directors Have Subsidies of
Own, Says Lasker.
WOULD MAKE U. S. VASSAL
Expected Great Britain to OBJ
iect to the Plan.
Would Take From British Chief
Revenue Source.

washington, Jan. 26.-While details
of President Harding's plans for an
American shipping subsidy have not
been fully made public, they have al
ready become sufficiently well known
to draw protests from two foreign
governments. it was disclosed today
bv shipping board officials The iden-
tity of e protesting nations was
withheld.
It is apparent from these protests,
however. and others expected, that
American shipping is going to meet
stiff opposition on the trade routes u
the world, officials declared
Have Subsidies of Own.
Shipping board officers expressed
Indignation at the attempts TO throL-
tie" American shipping enterprise
The very nations that have registered
exposition, they said, have subsldles
of theri own, designed to bolster up
their own merchant marines.
American officials generally WeIe
aroused over the statement of Sir Ed
ward Mackay Edgar, former Brush
minister of shipping, that Pres!oe i ~
Harding is stabbiing Great Britain IN
the back" by his subsidy pan anu
that the present proposed American
subsidy is a blow at England very
existence"
Make America Nassal.
"Other world powers are merely
taking the stand that America should
always be a vassal nation so far as
shipping is concerned" said A. D.
I.asker, chairman of the shipping
board. TT means the United States
navy should never have its full share
of shipping in time of war.
1T has been generally known that
Great Britain would register disap-
proval of any American attempt to
subsidize shipping. Great Britain and
other powers assume that as America
was never regarded as a maritime
power, we should not now do any
thing which might take from them
what they claim is their principal
source of revenue"
one of the plans in the American
subsidy is that SO per cent of the i'm
migrant traffic shall be in American
ships One of the nations switch have
protested did so on the ground that
this interferes with one of its own
laws to the effect that all immigrants
from that nation must be carried in
the country's own ships
