into the little court DOM stampeded

hysterical cries were the sobbings of
women and threats of men against
Johnston for the methods used in

cessfut in her fight ins%the state SUI
preme court to secure a divorce from
her husband, Roy kawataba, a Jap
anese, she may be obliged to go to
Japan to attempt to get the marriage
%annulled.
This is the contention Of the defense
counsel. The woman instituted di-
vorce proceedings against her hus-
band, alleging%that her husband rep-'
resented himself as an American city
zen. when The was not. Her husband
demurred to the complaint. which de-
murrer was overru1ed by Judge John
G. Lowe. i s
She seeks to have the marriage an
nulled on the grounds of misreprc-
sentation.
The defense contends that the
woman lost her citizenship rights
when she married Kawataba and
therefore annot maintain an action
in a court in this country.
Counsel for the woman claims that
by reason of the alleged m%isrepre-
sentation at the time of the marriage,
|itt constituted fraud and that therefore
the marriage should be annulled.

JUDGE THINKS 'H]l|NK
W0RKMENSLAW
PROTECTS COPS
Moellring Believes Family
Of Dead Policeman En-
titled to Compensation.

!Minot, N. D., April 8.-Memoran-
aum opinion on the workmen's COM
~pensat!on law of North Dakota has
iust been made by Judge George H.
Moellring in the case. of Wanie s.
fahler as administrative Of the es-
tate OF Leo S. Fahler. deceased, VS..
the city of Minot. in which the plain
TN asks $4,000 damages for the
Heath OF her husband who was killed
ny Avery Erickson, an alleged whis-
Key runner, while Fahler was engaged
IN the performance of his duty and
during the course of his employment
as a policeman for the city Of Minot.
Judge Moellring l%overrules the de-
murrer of the defense and gives leave
TO the defendant to answerAhe COM
plant within Is days after service of
the order upon the defendants attor-
neys. The city demurred on the
ed by the act. Z,i2 =
Counsel for the defense in oral ar
guments and in briefs, presented but
one question:: Does the term EN-
ployee' as used in the act. compre-
bend policemen and their dependents
as beneficiaries under the law?"
Is First Test Case
This is said to be the first time that
the technicalities Of the law have
been attacked in North Dakota.
The term "employe" Is used in the
North Dakota law is Idefined in part,
Judge Moellring states, in identical
language contained in the Ohio de-
finition of the same term. Thedefi-
milton Is the Ohio enactment, how
ever. is extensive with explanations
and limitations. whereas the North
Dakota definition is marked with Sc
varA hVovyff1r N~l ~~-kalA- l.,% -..
eral provisions. =
Counsel for the city of Minot con-
tended that the lawtdoes not contem-
plate policemen or others whose serv-
ices are directed to the sovereign and
engaged in the performance. of gov
ernmental function, in contradiction
to mere employment for wages or
hire. either by government or private
party. W.
1T is improbable" says Judge Moell-
ring In his decision. that a legislature
OF such ultra progressive views should
become suddenly and peculiarly ultra
conservative. and pass a workmen's
compensation act more restrictive
than exists in many Jurisdictions. 1t
is obvious that they intended to pro-
tect employees engaged under contract
with the city. including servile en-
Payments. and 1t is equally patent
that they intended to protect police
men. engaged under appointment,
whose hazardous tasks are directed
toward, maintaining a safe and peace-
full municipality and protecting the
property and lives OF its citizens
The two grounds of objection con-
tanned in the city's demurrer to the
complaint in the action are:
That several causes of action have
been Improperly instituted.
That the complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause
Of action.
Announcement was made by MCGEE
& Goss. who are assisting ]. j. Coyle,
city attorney. in the defense work,
that the order will oe appealed to the
supreme court.

Chadbourne Still
 Hopeful of Merger
 of Steel Companies
By Associated Rress

New York, May 24.-Three com panies in the proposed Independent steel merger-Republic Iron and Steel, Midvale Steel. and Ordnance and Inland--are close to an agree ment, but the other two-Briar Hill and Steel and Tube of America-are still some distance apart from the rest, Thomas L. Chadbourne, counsel for the interested companies, declared tonight. He said that he was still hopeful that the merger would be effected on five-company basis. but explained that if the plan fell down there undoubtedly would be con- solidation of three companies.
 Mir. Chadbourne reiterated his statement that no negotiations were in progress or contemplated for a union of the independent group with the new ehem-Lackawanna com bination.
 No opposition to either five CT three company merger on the part of the government was anticipated, he said, because in the one case the combined tonnage production was only one-eighth of the countrys total. and in the other case, only one-tenth. This. he pointed out, disposed of any possibility Of the proposed censoli- dations becoming combinations in restraint of trade

 That wrestIer-Boxer Bout
 Tommy Tompk1as E. X. (. match maker, stated yesterday that he has about lined up plans for that wre st. Ter versus boxer bout he has prom ised fans for the Monday night card. He states that he will probably use Howard Smiles. q very good local middleweight wrestler, against either Battling Kelly or Phil Keith, 10th local boxers weighing in around l50 pounds.
 The bout will be mixed affair, Tommy states, with the wrestler use ing American catch -as-ca tch-can methods. and the boxer adhering to Marquis of Queensbury rules. The scrap will be for three rounds. with the referee giving decision at the end of that time, Judging the bout on the showings of the two men in their respective styles of battling.
 Hard Situations
 Tommy Tompkins stated that he 
 certain small issues that are bound to arise over such bout. For instance. when the wrestler obtains hold on the boxer and forces him either all the way or halfway to the canvas. can the boxer continue to slug away "a practice which would be In di- rect violation to the Queensbury rules. Tommy says he will work those details out with some compe- tent authority between now and Monday morning, and will make an announcement to the public in plenty of time.
 The wrestler versus boxer Idea is taking quite a hold on the fancy of fandom these days, and reports from various sections of the country on the outcome of such bouts are not infre- quent. Preeedents seem to point towards the wrestler having the ad- vantage in such bouts, but 8 clever. hard hitting boxer ought to be able to give any nathan trouble, so req son the railbirds.

U. 5. C. A. Wants Golf Ball Company to
 Stop Using "l62"

Washington. May 2A-The United States Golf association, through eoun- sel today. appealed to the federal trade commission and the commls= stoner of patents to take steps 10 stop the practice of the Allied Golf com pany Of Chicago in using the term official Golf Ball" on wrappers of balls manufactured by it, and in stamping on such balls the numerals .eI62."
 The petitions were filed with the two government agencies by James Frapcis Burke. general counsel for the U. s. G. A., and were signed by J. Frederick Byers, president of the association They recIte that in July, 1920, after joint conference with the royal and ancient committee in Scot land, the United States Golf associa- ton adopted rule limiting the weight and diameter of the ball per- mitted in tournaments to l.62 ounces and 1.62 inches. respectively.
 The petitions further declare that after this rule was published broad cdEI the AltieU GOHphUI SS'ui fN patent office registration for the exclusive use of numerals "162" on all golf balls. and also inclosed those manufactured by 1t in a wrapper stamped official Golf Ball" and in addition to this has publicly adver- tised that all persons infringing upon these claims would be subject to ac- tions for damages.
 The petitions declared that if these claims were permitted to stand II would create monopoly in the man ufacture and sale of golf balls and work great injustice to the United States Golf association in giving the impression that it's rules could be converted to selfish purposes and generally work a great injustice to the golflng public.
 The federal trade commission i' asked to terminate the practice and the commissioner of patents is re- quested to capcel the registration.
