Two letters have come to me In the
same mail from young Siris VINO want
20 be married and whose mothers' DUH
widows. oppose the match.
Tue daughter In each case has sup
ported her mSther for some years ana
proposes to DO her share toward her
support In the future, either by oner-
ing her. home Or by financial contri-
buttons.
But Of course marriage will mean the
breakup OF the home which the mother
anf the girl, and IN one case, the
mother. girl and older sister, share.
And so the mothers bitterly oppose
the marrtage-for no other reason. each
girl declares. than that It means
change in her way OF living.
OF course all these Facts have been
given me from the girls standpoint. l
wish had a letter from the mothers
too. perhaps after this Is published

she would say about Il all. And then
I'd Ike Letter from an unprejudiced
third party giving me the facts as he or
she sees them.
Protective thinking.
For even II the mother told me that
she was objectlng to the match only
because she did not think the man was
the right man. I should not be sure
that that was not protective thinking.
a reason with which she tries to camou-
fage her selfish reason not only to
others but to herself.
For these are by no means the only
cases OF which I have known In which
a mother who has had a homo with an
unmarried daughter has bitterly OPP
posed the latter's marriage for purely
selfish reasons. know OF one case
where the mother prevented the mar
rlage for years tshe had weak heart
and had heart attacks whenever II was
mentioned) Finally when he'd uagh-
ter was over - she reluctantly consent
ed but, she insisted on being In the
foreground In all their plans. and act
ually went on the honeymoon with
them. Now she Is doing her best
(and II Is a very etfectual one) to ruin
their home IF she succeeds and they
part she can say triumphantly that he
wasn't the right man after all.
And then I know OF another case
where the mother opposed . marriage
until the bitter day came when she
wished she had allowed II.

COURT STOPS CITY BUS
IN LONG ISLAND CITY
Says Whalen Must Obtain
Franchise First.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn. overruling Justice
Lewis L. Fawcett Of the Supreme Court,
yesterday granted an injunction sought
by the New York and Queens County
Railway Company preventing the oper-
alton of a bus line on Grand avenue
between Eighteenth and Twenty-second
avenues, Long Island City. Presiding
Justice Blackmar in his opinion said:
1T was decided that the city OF New
York has no power to establish or
operate bus lines in the streets of the
city except by the grant Of franchise
in the way pointed out by statute. II
there is public need for bus on the
route selected one may be easily and
legally established. The Board OF Estir
mate and Apportionment can grant
franchise in which the rights OF the
city and the public may be safeguarded.
and the Public Service Commission VIII
presumably act in furtherance OF the
public welfare An attempt to establish
the line by illegal methods can result
only in failure and the loss to the
public of the facilities which might nave
been secured by regular and legal pro-
ceedings."

JOHN BASSETT MOORE
TO DRAFT WAR RULES

WASHINGTON, May b.-John
Bassett Moore, OF New York. former
counselor of the State Department,
and now a member OF the newly
created International Court OF Jus
tice, has been appointed to repre-
sent the United States on the Rules
OF Warfare Commission authorized
by the arms conference. DR.. Moore
will be the only American represen-
tative on the commission. The other
four Powers represented also have
named their commissioners. but no
time or place for the meeting OF the
commission has been selected.
The commission is to consider
whether generally accepted warfare
regulations are adequate to govern
the use OF new agencies OF war and
TO recommend whatever changes are
found desirable in international law.
Elihu Root, who as a delegate to
the arms conference presented the
resolution authorizing creation Of
the Rules OF Warfare Commission,
is understood to have been consid-
cred for membership on that body.
His friends have said. however, that
because of his age and his recent
labors at the arms conference he
did not care TO undertake another
international negotiation at present.

The Vest Virginia Trial
(From the New York Tribune)

enough to enlist the support or the
State authorities against the intro
duction Of unionism, and in some
counties the police power is practi-
cally entirely in tho hands Of the
mine owners.
In the present trial the proseou-
tion. being nominally public and as
sumed by the State. Is, as matter
of fact in the hands Of men long
closely identified with the coal In
terests. Several OF them havo been
counsel for different coal com-
panies. and. according to persons
recently at the trial, there is an ap-
pearance that these men. instead OF
acting in behalf of the State, are
really working in behalf Of tha
mine owners in their war against or
ganized labor.
The miners are assisted by able
counsel. Had the trial been held in
one of the mining counties how
ever. it is doubtful II even the most
skilful legal aids could have broken
down the barrier against them built
up by the operators. VIII an old
