WINS S5,0OO STAKE IN
 HORSE SHOE PITCHING
Audience in Evening Dress Applaud as Gilded Shoes Fly in
 Ball Room.

Chicago, Sept. s CF9 -- Former Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago is s5.000 richer today for having demonstrated the sharp shooting possibilities of horseshoe pitching and elevated the ancient game from barn yard to ball room.
 He won the richest stake in the history of the sport when Carroll and Hansford Jackson. two Iowa sons of the former national cham pion, pitched a total of 54 ringers in a contest which Hansford won. 54 to 46. Thompson's wager with his old friend Parker Blatchford was that he could produce two men who could make 50 ringers in a 50 point game.
 Attired as Spanish matadors, the two youths flung gilded shoes to the rhythm of bass viols in a pub lie ballroom last night while a boiled-shirted gallery cheered.

MAY HALT COMPLETION OF BLOCK ON GOLD ST.
Building Inspectors Find Violation of Coming

Inspectors A. N. Rutherford and c. J. Curtin of the building depart- ment this afternoon had under con- sideration an order to stop work on six tenement house at 165 Gold street and they admitted that an or der to dismantle the structure en- tirely was possible.
 Several thousand dollars worth of works has already been put into the building. The estimated cost of the entire job is s24.ooo. and the build ing has been bricked to the second floor landing.
 The complaint under which opera tions were likely to be halted today is that the application filed by l.. Haberski, states that the structure Is to be 100 feet from the nearest building on the lot. The inspectors found today the building is 50 feet from another six tenement house in the rear. Whether there Is sufficient lot area to have the buildings con- form with zoning regulations is . question Inspectors Rutherford and Curtin will determine before issuing further orders to allowing an amend ment of the application.

YOUNG BRIDE WRITES
 OWN WEDDING RITUAL
DeIetes Word "Obey" and Substitutes Her Views
 on Marriage Vows

Pawtucket, R. l., Sept. 8 Pl- Miss Dorothy L. Cheek, Mount Hol- yoke graduate, and Gordon Cedric Willard, Worcester Polytechnical Institute alumnus, were married here last night with a ritual which had been edited by the bride to conform to her idea of the real significance of marriage.
 The word "obey" was omitted from the brides vow and two para graphs of the text of the rite were replaced by paragraph in which the bride expressed her idea of the spiritual character of wedlock. The ceremony used and revised by Miss Check was in its general features one composed by Rev. Edward T. Hiscox, D.D., of New York city.
 Objection to the Tight considera- ton" of marriage ceremonies held by the youth of the present day was given by the bride as her reason for editing the marriage service to conform to her convictions.
 Deletion of the word "obey" and introduction of an essay on the sig nificance of the marriage ceremony and on the union itself as the nucleus of social existence character izes a new wedding service, which the bride edited for use at her mar riage.
 Much of the ritual was taken from the service prescribed in the Star Book for Ministers written by Rev. Edward T. Hiscox, D. D., of New York. F:om this ceremony the bride deleted the word "obey" and a phrase to the effect that marriage, among other things, is intended to ''rcpress irregular affection"
 The bride signified her idea of marriage by writing into the ritual this paragraphs:
 Tt is the duty of both to delight each in the society of the other; 10 remember that, in interest and in reputation as in affection, they are to be henceforth one and undivided i; to preserve an inviolable fidelity, and to see to it that what God has joined thus together, man never puts asunder."
 Will you love, cherish and honor him?" was the question deleted of the stipulation "obey" asked Of the bride by her family pastor, Rev. Frank Rector, D. D.. of the First Baptist church, Pawtucket.
 Will you love, cherish, honor and protect her?" was the question an- swered by the bridegroom.
 T am having the ceremony per formed at my home among my own friends" she said. If l desired something ostentatious with a desire to satisfy curiosity seek CTS. I should have had a church wedding. It is too solemn an occa- sion to be viewed with curiosity"
 Miss Cheek received her master of arts degree from Smith college in 1924. She has been teaching chem istry at Western college, Oxford, Ohio.

WORLD WAR NOW BURIED
Admission of Germany Into League of Nations Also Brings Into Effect Treaty of Mutual Guarantee of Last October.

Geneva. Switzerland, Sept. 8 P- Europe buried the great war today when, amid applause which shook l the hall of the League of Nations assembly, Germany was unanimous ly elected a member of the league and unanimously also accorded a permanent seat on the league coun- cil.
 When the roll call of states was taken, foreign Minister Briand of France pronounced a sonorous yes" and then turned his eyes to- ward the press galleries as if he wanted the word to go forth throughout the world that France was first to welcome her former enemy into the fold of conciliation.
 Foreign Minister Vandervelde of Belgium with equal enthusiasm pro- claimed approval of Germany's ad- mission, while Sir Austen Chamber lains contribution to unanimity on behalf of Great Britain was crisp, clear and easily heard throughout the crowded auditorium.
 Three New Council Seats
 Despite protests from the Scan dinavian states against the policy of linking Germanys election with ap- proval of an increase in the number of permanent council seats from six to nine, this augmentation was ratified, and also unanimously. Three seats for Latin-America, on the council are thus assured.
 President Ninchitich of the as- sembly was visibly moved when he announced Germanys unanimous admission. M. Ninchitich is foreign minister to Jugoslavia, the country which now embraces the town of Sarajevo, scene of the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand which was the initial incident in the outbreak of the world war.
 Tt shows, after all," he said, that those men of faith were right, when during the league troubles of last March (when Germany's elcc- ton was blocked), they were not disheartened by difficulties which seemed almost overpowering. We have accomplished today, by voting Germany in, one of the most neceS-

Judd and SablotSky in Lively Dispute Over ''RailrOadins"
THREAT TO LEAVE MEETING
Councilman Boyle Expresses Dis pleasure Over Manner in Which Republican Leader Conducts Gathering to Discuss Rules.

At a session which, while brief, was quite spicy at times, the special committee on revision of the rules of the common council last night voted to make recommendation that all boards and commissions of the city government be requested to forward to the city clerk all reports requiring action by the council in time for publication in the advance reports. This decisions was satis- factory to all the members, the un- derstanding being that when boards are unable to comply their reports will be mailed to the council mem- bers.
 Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of the sixth ward and Alderman w. H. Judd of the third ward, the former a democrat and the latter the re- publican leader, engaged in some snappy repartee before the meeting was well under way, and Councilman w. D. Boyle, democrat, threatened to ledfG Illt Iilttllllo uLINSo thS chairman confined the members to the business in hand. Councilman Boyle contended that Alderman Judd's examination of Councilman Sablotsky relative to an expenditure of money on the Glen street pave ment was not germaine to the sub feet for which the committee was appointed.
 Sablotsky Explains Position
 At the outset Councilman Sablot- sky said he believed it is unfair to the taxpayers to have the council members pass on matters at prac- tically every meeting without having an opportunity to study the reports coming from the various boards. Time after time, he said, printed re- ports are laid on the council mem- bers' desks and someone moves their adoption without having an explana- tion made. He soelieved, he said, that at least two days time should be allowed the members to acquaint themselves with the business they are called on to dispose of.

ASSUMES BLAME FOR
 OWNERSHIP OF BEER
New Haven Man Confesses to Free Another
 Under Arrest

Geor-e Collins, aged 25, of Frank street, New Haven, assumed responsibility for the violation of the liquor law found by Detective Ser geant Ellinger and Officer Stadler ct so Seymour street several days ago, when the case of William Janwic, aged 33, of so Seymour street, came up for disposition in police court this morning and Judge filling fined Collins S200 and costs and nolled the charge against Janwic. The beer taken was ordered destroyed.
 Collins pleaded guilty and was represented by Attorney Thomas J. Cabelus. Analysis of 50 cases of beer taken in the raid showed it to contain S.31 per cent alcohol by weight and 4:l4 per cent wy volume. Attorney Cabelus said there was no defense. Collins, on learning of Jan wic's arrest, came here and took the blame. He has been in the beer busi- ness only a short time and has not realized a profit sufficient to pay a heavy fine, the attorney said.
