OLD DOVER LAW
 IS REPEALED BY ILLINOIS SOLONS|
Woman Legislator Succeeds In Changing Property
 Statute Of State

CHICAGO, July S.-Illinois widows are to receive one-third of their hus- bands real property In lieu of the former dover interest as a result of law enacted by the legislature shattering the old English custom of descent of property in this state.
 And this bit of legislation, consid- cred the most important property law of the last half century, was pushed through the Illinois legisla- ture by Mrs. Lottie O'Neill, the states first woman member of the lower house.
 Mrs. O'Neill also got the legislature to enact law extending aid to crippled children and another pro- hibiting picking of wild flowers in public parks and private grounds without permission.
 Politicians are wondering just what the profession" of lawmaking is coming to. They are concerned over Der of women shall be sent to the legislature some day.
 Opinion is divided over the new property law. Opponents declare it will complicate settlement of es- tates and involve the courts in cases affecting titles. Others, however, hold it will end the "crazy will" prac- tice and will aid development of the state.
 They point to prominent Chicago streets where modern buildings would be now but for the dover law, which, they say, was all right for England 800 years ago, but not for Illinois today

ROAD EARNINGS GROW
Returns Are Above Six Per Cent For
 Second Consecutive Month

WASHINGTON, July S.-Net earn ings of class one railroads, which operate 90 per cent of the countrys rail mileage. amounted to SS9,- 999, 600 during May. according to es- inmates made public today by the bureau of railway economies. The total, including an earning rate Of 6.33 per cent on the value of capital invested in railroads, was the second consecutive months return rate above 6 per cent.
 In the five months of 1923 includ- ing May, net incomes of class one railroads was S356, 966,900 which the bureau said equalled a 5.69 per cent return rate in value of railroad property as tentatively estimated by the interstate commerce commission. Rate levels, under present policies of the commission, are aimed at pro- ducing 5.75 per cent for operating lines.
 There was a marked disparity be- tween railroad earning power in diff ferent sections of the country during May. In the east, the income of car riers amounted to TIP per cent on the value of railroad property, while in the west the return was 4.43 per cent, and in the south 6.72 per cent.

COMPULSORY BIGAMY PROPOSAL CAUSES A RIOT IN CHAMBER
Woman Deputy Offers Plan To Make Up Losses
 Caused By War

LONDON, July 8.-Compulsory bigamy, proposed as a means of mak- ing up the losses in population caused by the war, caused riot when 1t was debated in the Czecho- slovakian parliament.
 Mile. Betta Kerpiskova. a woman deupty, introduced a bill to compel whatever their personal inclination might be. Heavy penalties were suggested for men who shirked their duty.
 A dispatch from Prague to Lloyds Sunday News of London tells what happened when Mile. Kerpiskova tried to put across her compulsory polygamy measure.
 In presenting the bill, she ex plained that the war had weakened the Czechoslovakian nation, and that great gaps in the population were waiting to be filled
 How dare we do this?" she asked Tt is quite simple. Distribute the surplus women in the proportion of two to every man and the problem is solved.'
 Great enthusiasm in the chamber greeted Mile, Kerpiskova's remedy. Male deputies stood on their chairs and cheered loud and vigorously.
 But other quarters were to be nedrQ rom.
 Hardly had the mems cheers sub sided than there came loud and angry protests from the gallery where the wives of the deputies were sitting.
 These married women" accord ing to the dispatch to Lloyds Sum days News, shouted indignant de- nials that the nation would benefit by the granting of two women to every man and demanded that the president call Mile. Kerpiskova to order"
 The woman deputy retorted by shouting at the top of her voice, Throw those old hags out" What had been merely confusion then became riotous pandemonium Mlle Kerpiskova, shouting above the tumult, again urged support for her bill.
 Every moment lost Is crime against humanity" she cried. Several orators, male and female. heatedly aired their views on the subject of trying to support and otherwise maintain two wives. One speaker summed up what seemed to be the opinion of the majority when he depreciated Czechoslovaka talk ing a step which would expose her to the ridlcule of the world.
 towards! Retrogrades" shouted Mile. Kerpiskova in last despair ing gesture.
 The president suspended the sitting.
 Czechoslovakia, it will be recalled, is the postwar political name for Bohemia.

CAPITAL AWAIT ING LAWMAKERS WITH A TRANQUIL A|R
Something Warm Besides The Weather Is Expected
 On Capitol Hill
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD
 AInnf fnn1narr Ala .Iuly 2 1

The Capital City was tranquil on the eve of the resumption of legisla- tive activities, which takes place Tuesday and the register of the E&- change hotel, the gathering place of Alabama statesmen, revealed not single legislators name late this aft ernGon. This indicated that the sen ators anG representatives were lin gering with their families as long as pc ..ble before plunging into the combination of political cauldron and a Montgomery July, and perhaps also that some of them had taken up their quarters in private boarding houses and families where living conditions are more compatible with the S4 per diem which the members of the legislature receive as a relic from times when $1 per day was a living wage for a working man.
 Although calm and quiet, Mont gomery is ready for the assembling of the legislators. The legislative halls at the capitol have been put in order and the furniture polished, and @ large portion of the feminine popu- latiCn which did not get committee clerkship or some form of clerical work at the spring session is en- gagged in plans whereby they hope to serve the state in some remunerative capacity during the session.
 Talk of adjournment of the legis- lature after the completion of the full so legislative days is already in the air, but experts agree that this is always discussed and pronounced feasible and neve. done.
 It appears to be generally agreed that there will be something warm on Capitol Hill besides the climate this summer. The question of cleo tion of county superintendents of education, millage tax for education, Mobile port and the convict lease system, are mentioned by observers as sure storm centers. A well known local farm bureau member stated to- day that the charges brought by cer- tain elements of the farm bureau against Prof. l.. N. Duncan, director of the extension service, in the re- cent state farm bureau election will be brought before the legislature and the alleged action of Professor Dun can in going beyond his proper sphere of activities as an agricul- tural leader will be talked about on the floor of the house and senate. It is also stated that the recess agrl- cultural committee will not be unanimous in the bill which it will present advocating changes in the present agricultural laws of the state, and that a minority report will probably be presented.
 The legislature will reconvene with Governor Brandon's name still orn with which to soothe the feel ings of any excited statesman, men tiCn of the governors wishes at the spring session having been sufficient to swing legislation automatically Whether the administration will re- tain control of the situation and the degree to which certain leaders will go toward break with the governor will be watched with interest.

CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN INDUSTRY URGED
Church Leaders Call Upon Great
 Powers To Accent Christ

WINONA LAKE. Ind. July S.-(By the Associated Press.)-A challenge to the church to urge the Christian gospel as the only solution for social and industrial problems was made tonight before the international con- ference on Christian citize\3hip by Dr. Charles l.. Stelzle. founder of New York labor temple, and widely known auth ority on industrial rel/. tions. At the morning session of the conference Dr. Stelzle addressed "a plea to the rulers of the world urging concerted action for world peace based upon Christian principles of morality.
 The time has come to try Chris tianity," the address said. It was sent to the sovereign heads of more than 30 governments, having been ap- proved by the 2,000 delegates attend ing the conference.
 Speaking on The Cause and Curse of Social Unrest pr. Stezle said: "It Is not a question whether the gospel Is big enough to meet the social prob lt ms of the day; it is a question whether we are big enough to sup ply it."
