 FAvoRs EASIER DIvoRCEs
 At the midweekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club Wednesday Rabbi Simon Cohen of Temple Miskhan Is- rael, here, elaborated his discussion begun in an address in Birmingham on the subject of legal marriages and divorces.
 The rabbi stuck to his brief throughout the discussion and would net be driven by crossfiring or cross questioning from his premise that as a legal and economic proposition, it would be better if marriage li- censes were more difficult and di- vorces easier to obtain. He refused to be drawn into giving an ecclesias- ticaI view on the subject. Legal marriages and divorces, he said, are institutions woven in civilizations complex loom while divinity has in stilled into the human heart the one essence on which religions ideal of a perfect union can be builded

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD nnA Il


 Parole of Stark L. Daniel, former state law enforcement officer, serv- ing a 10-year sentence from Walker county for second degree murder, was recommended today by a ma jority of the state pardon board At torney General Harwell G. Davis and Auditor w. B. Allgood recommended the parole, while Secretary of State s. H. Elan, the third member, dis- sented from the majority view.
 Daniel, a world war veteran and former deputy of the state law en- forcement department, was chief of police of Dora at the time of his arrest on a charge of murder for the killing of Mrs. Mollie Ballenger. It was stated that Daniel shot and killed a negro, Nick Shelton, and the prosecution claimed that Mrs Bal lenger was Killed by one of the shots as she sat in swing on the porch of the BallengeR hotel
 In recommending the parole of Daniel, the majority of the pardon board held that even if the shot which he fired killed Mrs. Bal1enger the shooting was undoubtedly acci- dental. They ascribed his conviction to prejudice and the fact that he was stranger in the county where he was tried.
 In dissenting from the majority view, MT. Blan quoted Judge J. J.. Curtis, who tried the case, and Cir cult Solicitor J. M. Pennington, both of whom opposed parole. MT. Elan shooting of the negfo. from which Mrs. Ballenger's death was said to have resulted, was justifiable.
 Daniel was sentenced August l, 1922. A communication in the record from Walker county stated that he is under indictment there for first degree murder for the death of the Shelton negro.
