BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 29.- District Judge Jones tonight issued an alternative writ of mandamus against Secretary of State James J. Bailey, on application of J. J.

A state statute requires that petitions seeking to have names of independent candidates placed upon the ballot must bear the signE lures only of voters who had registered as independent or party utilization.

'ELOPING' PASTOR
 CLAIMS MARRIAGE
Reverend Joseph Yeats Married
 Choir Girl, He Says

BALLINGER, Texas, Sept. 29.- Passionatcly avowing his love for his 14-year-old bride, the Rev. Joseph Yeats, "eloping pastor" of Alluwe, Okla, is pacing Ais cell in jail here nervously as he awaits the arrival of officers from Oklahoma who will take him back to face charges of abduction.
 Il am guilty of only one crime," the minister declares. And that is of falsifying about my wife's age. I am deeply in love with her and am sure she loves me-"
 Yeats said he married 14-year-old Georgia Fields, daughter of member of his congregation, who formerly sang in the choir at his church, in Missouri. The middle-aged churchman who star tied the little Oklahoma oil town by eloping with the girl few weeks after his wife divorced him on grounds of in- fidelity, expressed little interest when told that his brides parents were en route here to get their daughter. Deputy sheriffs arrested Yeats near Winters, Texas, at the home of his parents.
