MARRIAGE HELD INVALID.
Husband Rewed Too Quickly After
Obtaining Divorce.

Justice Hoehling of the District Su-
preme Court has filed an opinion sus-
tanning the contention of Constantine
It. Prokos that his marriage at Bal
timore, Md, in April. 1922. to Mary J..
Prokos was invalid because contract
ed within the period of six months
after a decree of divorce had been
signed in Virginia in favor of Prokos
from his former wife.
The court held that under the Vir-
ginia law the provision prohibiting
marriage within six months after the
decree is not merely a prohibition,
but the former marriage subsists un-
period. Accordingly when Prokos
of the decree went through a cere-
mony with the second wife he already
had a wife from whom ne was not
divorced and was legally unable to
contract the marriage, the court finds
Mrs. Prokos, who claimed TO have
been unaware of the prohibition
against the remarriage of Prokos,
brought suit in the District Supreme
Court for limited divorce on
charges of cruelty and non-support
The husband asked the dismissal of
her suit and filed q oss-petition for
the annulment of the marriage be-
cause 1t was in violation of the laws
of Virginia. Attorneys Hardison &

peared for the husband.

political situation. George consented
and it was understood that he was
to leave the country for two months,
appointing d regent to hold the nom-
inal sovereign power.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1S.-Plans
for the completion of the Cathedral of
st. John the Divine. under construc-
ton. for number of years, today
appeared to be endangered by the
latest development of the controversy
between modernist and fundamen-
talist factions of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church.
Rev. DIR. Karl Reiland rector of ST.
Georges Church, in aligning himself
squarely with the modernists, assert
ed last night that "a large cathedral
for a literal creed did not inspire
liberal churchmen and said the drive
for S15,000,00o for the cathedral vir-
tualIy was a dead issue as far as
the modernists in the church were
concerned.
to a head Sunday by the sermon of
Rev. DR.. Leighton Parks of st. Bar
tholomew's Church, who invited trial
for heresy, today found rectors of
three of the wealthiest churches in
Bishop William 7. Manning's diocese
in the ranks of the modernists.
They were St. Georges, st. Bar
tholomew's and Grace hCurch, the rec
tor of which. Rev. Walter Russell
Bowie, yesterday published "A sermon
Il stand In direct opposition to that
of the pastoral letter" of the House
of Bishops, adopted in Dallas, Tex,
last month.
While Bishop Manning maintained
silence about DIR. Parks challenge of
the doctrines of the virgin birth and
the physical resurrection, modernist
churchmen rallied to support Rev.
Lee w. Heaton of Fort Worth, Tex,
scheduled for trial in Dallas for al
legged heresX.
Bishop William Lawrence of Mass
achusetts, a modernist leader. who
arrived here last night from Boston
would not comment on the situation
but DIR. Reiland expressed the point
of view of his faction by saying that
mo one would dare" bring Bishop
Lawrence or DIR. Parks to trial for
heresy for their utterances.
If one goes to trial. he said, I'VE
all go. In Dallas they will proceed

British diplomats who are familiar
with the acute political situation in
Greece see little chance of saving
King Georges throne, and the for
eign Office apparently has been recon
cfled to the fact that he must go.
The British charge frequently has
informed the present revolutionary
regime in Athens that Great Britain
will view with disfavor any violent
change in dynasty. but the military
junta apparently found it futile to at
tempt to sway the extreme elements
in the liberal and moderate parties
from their desire to Danish Constan-
tines son in order to make way for
the return of their great idol, Eeni-
zelos, and the establishment of the
republic.
Other Nations Protest.
France. Italy, Jugoslavia and Ru-
mania also have made overtures to
the Athens cabinet against the ex-
pulsion of George.
The chief object of the recent visit
of the King of Jugoslavia in Paris
was to bespeak Frances Intervention
on behalf of his kingly brother-in-
law. Queen Marie of Rumania, go
ing far beyond the usual functions
of mother-in-law, urged every
friendly government in Europe
through diplomatic channels to save
the crowns of George and her daugh-
ter, Queen Eliza beth, but evidently
all this pressure has been in vain.
Tragedy and disaster have lurked in
the paths of the Greek royal family
since the assassination of King
George ]. In 1913. George | was the
second King of Greece. having ascend
