LETTER TO DISCOURAGE
OUT-0F STATE NUPTIALS

Miss Mildred Barber, assembly
woman from Marathon county, is
preparing letter to be sent to all
women's clubs in the state urging
promotion of an educational cam
paign which would discourage out-of-
state marriages which are the result
Of evasion of the Wisconsin eugenic
marriage law. Such marriages, the
letter will point out, are not recog-
nized in this state.
Not being recognized, such mar
riages tend to complicate the distri-
button of estates in case of the death
of one of the contracting parties to
the marriage, Miss Barber claims.
Although children of the marriage
may claim and probably could collect
inheritances, by reason of their legal
status, husband or wife Surviving,
under the law, cannot claim inherit
ance, because of the unrecognized
marriage, Miss Barber declares.

System Will Cost 100000.
Ready by July 1-Richards
Checks Owners Taxes

Engineers from several large man
ufacturing concerns are in Wash
ington studying traffic conditions
and making plans for the installa.
ton of a traffic light system in
downtown and other congested sec
tions of the city.
Recommendations of the engineers
will be turned over to Colonel T. G.
Moller, Assistant Traffic Director,
who will make an estimate of the
total cost, and submit 1t, through
Director Of Traffic Eldridge, to the
District Commissioners.
1t was tentatively estimated to-
day that it would cost about $780,
900 to complete the installation.
There is now about $50, 1000 avail
able and the directors office prob
ably will ask the Commissioners
for $250,000 more.
Efforts are being made to have
the light system installation begin
by July l. With temporary sig
nails. it may be possible to start
part of the system within several
months.

mel is rapidly being improved by
construction Of the great Anacostia
parkway. During the coming
fiscal year, development of large
area of this park into one of the
finest recreation parks in the city
will be contemplated.
Drive To Surround Area.
There will be a driveway around
the entire area to be completed
this year, from the Eleventh street
bridge to the Pennsylvania avenue
bridge. These roadbeds are now
being prepared and the paving will
begin when funds become avail
able on July /.
Planting of hundreds of trees
will go forward this year and a
field house, equipment houses, and
pergolas will be carried on. A
stadium, quarter-mile track, base
ball diamonds. eighteen tennis
courts and a bowling green will be
constructed.
The entire Anacostia Park de-
velopment will cost $4,000, zoo. OF
which 81 500, 900 has been expended,
Major O'Connor stated. When COM
pleted. this will be the city's third
large park, the other two being the
Potomac and Rock Creek Park
areas. Development of this area
has been under way since 1911, and
Is less than half completed. The
complete development will extend
from Boiling Field to the District
line.
The Rock Creek Potomac develop
ment, which will begin this sum-
mer, will result in cleaning up Of a
long stretch of the water front
from the Lincoln Memorial to the
mouth orr Rock frNek above the

Al TORNEYS
CALL II
ILLEGAL
Petition to Quash Writ Is
Filed With U. S. Commits
sioner Turnage

A petition, controverting the
facts alleged in the warrant npon
which Semuil Kaitlin, wine dis
penser of the Ohev Sholom Con
gregation, was arrested, charged
with the illegal sale Of sacra-
mental wine, will be filed today
with United States Commissioner
Needham C. Turnage by his at
torneys.
Warrant Called Illegal.
According to Attorneys Bert
Emerson, Judge Milton strasburger
and Milton King, who represent
Kaitlin, the search warrant au-
thorizing the raid on Kaitlin's home,
was Illegal. They contend that
Kaitlin had every legal right to
keep the wine in his home, which
was owned by the congregation, and
for which he was the Official dis
penser, and that Commissioner Tur-
mage issued the warrant only be-
cause he was misinformed by the
Jewish prohibition agent who
worked up the case against Kaitlin.
Commissioner Turnage will be
asked to quash the warrant, which
he issued, and the attorneys also
will request that the trial in Police
Court, set for Friday, be postponed
until after the hearing on the
validity of the warrant. which will
take place next Wednesday.
Selling Held Lawful.
Kaitlin's attorneys also will claim
that he was acting lawfully in
selling fourteen gallons of wine to
Prohibition Agent B. M. Wolf, who,
it is stated, represented himself as
being a member Of Kaitlin's con-
gregation, and that he was entitled
to the wine. One of the strongest
points in Kaitlin's favor, 1t was
stated, are a number of prohibition
slips signed by the purchaser Of
the wine, stating that it was to
be used for sacramental purposes
only.
