ALIENATION SUIT
REVIEW IS DENIED
Action of Supreme Court Con-
firms Virginia Verdict of
$4,000 in Harlow Case.

Declining 10 review the findings Of
the Virginia courts, which three years
ago awarded Mrs. Gladys Cowles Har-
low a Judgment of $4,000 In an aliena-
suit against six mem
bsrs of her late husbands socially
prominent family in Alexandria, the
Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday upheld the Judgment, which
involved an intricate religious and legal
question. SO
The jury brought in verdict in
favor of the wife for $4,000 as COM
pensatory and punitive damages. This
was reduced by the trial court to
$4,000, and the Judgment was affirmed
by the Supreme Court Of Appeals of
Virginia.
Religion Is Involved.
The Supreme Court was called upon
to decide upon the question: Where
Catholic relatives express strong pro-
Catholic views and persuade a husband
to break his marital relations with his
Protestant wife, are they liable in an
action by the wife for the alienation OF
her husbands affections?
Defendants in the suit were Mrs.
Harlow's mother-in-law. Mrs. Rose
Harlow, and George A. Harlow, Edwin
Harlow, Mary ". Harlow, Lillian Harrow
Green ana Lena f1dIlOW f1dTIlSdi,
brothers and sisters of the late John
Michael (Dick) Harlow.
Mrs. Gladys Harlow was the second
wife of "Dick" Harlow, who was
divorced from his first wife. Before
their marriage he became estranged
from his family and the Catholic
Church, it was brought out in the case.
A short time after the marriage he be-
came stricken with q fatal illness and,
with the consent of his wife, sent for
his family to come to visit them at their
home in Washington.
Died in Alexandria.
He was without means of support,
and with the consent of his wife he
permitted himself to be carried to his
mothers home in Alexandria, where he
died, six weeks later, it was declared.

Rear Admiral Thomas p. Magruder

Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder
is still awaiting orders.
Shortly after taking the oath Of office
as Secretary of the Navy, Charles
Francis Adams announced he would
make some disposal of the case of the
officer who was removed from COM
mand of the Philadelphia Navy Yard
in 1927, after his publication of articles
attacking the organization Of the Navy.
This announcement has not been
made and the delay has caused specu-
lation as to whether Admiral Magruder
may not be left without assignment
until the time for his retirement be-
cause of age in November, 1881.
Inquiry Reopened.
Shortly after Secretary Adams an
nouncement that he intended to dc
something about the Magruder case
there was report that the admiral had
been informed that unless he asked fol
retirement he would be retired on fur

: America, but in question that is so
first concrete task which gave rise to
the little entente was De-HapSburg
propaganda and against the policy
which endeavored to bring about an
overthrow of the new conditions in Cen
trail Europe. BY means of this defense
the little entente has fulfilled signif1-
can't peaceful function by guarding
Central Europe against confusion and
disorder.
THE little entente has, besides, never
been satisfied with this defensive func-
ton, but considers its real mission to
lie In constructive political and eco
nomic work in Central Europe. This
mission in itself obviously excludes the
situation in which the little entente
either could be directed, or a priori,
would be directed against one or the
other of its neighbors. It could come
into conflict with them only If their
policy tended toward the upsetting of
conditions, the threatening of peace
and order, and the disturbance and
holding up of the work of consolidation.
otherwise the little entente, as a
whole, and its members, as its COM
ponent parts, have always aimed at
winning over to the policy of Central
European cooperation all the states in
this area. The development of the re-
lations between the members of the
little entente, on the one hand, and
Poland and Austria. on the other, clear
ly demonstrates this.
Hungary has, of course, preferred to
seek support outside the area of Central
Europe, and has shown great hesitation
in the direction Of adjusting her rela-
lions with her immediate neighbors
This does not mean that the little en-
tente has entertained doubts whether q
place belongs also to Hungary in the
system of Central European collabora-
ton, and has not had the good will to
work in favor of this.
Consolidation Is Mission.
ITO continue and to deepen Central
European cooperation and to carry
further the consolidation of the new
Central Europe is the essence Of the
present-day mission of the little en-
tente. This task is almost entirely a
positive one, for the results of the last
10 years sterilization of conditions in
Central Europe have removed the acute
danger Of disruptive endeavors.
THE remains Of the latter are seen
only in Magyar revisionist propaganda,

Describing the general idea OF the
petit entente, DR.. Benes said:
From the broad political point OF
view, which Is certainly decisive in the
Judgment of the distant observer, the
little entente has from the outset had
a very simple general aim: The replac.
| ing Of the non-voluntary association OF
nations and nationalities represented
| by the ustro-Hungarian monarchy
| which collapsed in consequence OF the
bad principles of government, and the
| undemocratic policy of Germanization
and Magyarization by the voluntary
Central European cooperation of the
emancipated peoples Of this region:
''If such corporation has found ex-
preston above all in the alliance OF
Czechoslovakia with Jugoslavia and
Rumania, it Is because these states
have merely carried on the tradition OF
the cooperation which their peoples
commenced through the struggle against
Austria Hungary during the period OF
the war and the peace conference, and
because they have felt most intensely
the need for this collaboration In the
interests Of the consolidation and the
peace of Central Europe and in the in
terests of the security of their terri
| tories

Fifteen Months In Jail

Mrs. Rosa Waybourn hopes today to win her re-
lease from Jail at Georgetown pending her trail on
a charge of completely in the murder OF her husband.
For Is months she has been held in jail at Bas-
trop and Georgetown. She has been held in two OF
the Texas counties best known for their expeditions
ness in acting upon crime charges.
IN England it is rare that over three weeks elapSe
before a person arrested on such a charge has been
either convicted or acquitted.
Mrs. Rosa Waybourn will plead that 1t is cruel
and inhumane" to hold her in jail IS months before
her case is disposed Of by the courts, and Texas peo-
pie generally will agree with her. The long delay IS
not the fault Of Bastrop county officers. 1t Is not the
fault Of the Georgetown court who assumed the case
on a change OF venue. 1t is not the fault OF the ap-
pellate courts which sent her case back after revers-
ing a 45-year sentence imposed upon the woman, for
insufficiency of evidence.
The fault is in the complicated system Of judicial
procedure. The state spends about S1,50O0Oo a year
for operation of its courts. Some sort Of simplifica-
ton Of procedure ought to be possible and ought to
be brought about that would not put such a penalty
as this upon an untried person accused OF crime.
The course, in case Of capital or major charges,
should be able to present its case promptly. If 1t
finds the accused guilty, the penalty Is pre-
scribed. II it fails to convict. the accused is entitled
10 the vindication and to liberty at once-not Is
months or two years after arrest and incarceration.

When Autos Hit Trains

It IS a revealing side-light on the nature OF the
average motorist to learn that a huge percentage OF
all Embarrassing traffic accidents are caused. not by
the train striking the auto. but by the auto striking
the train.
This, of course, means that the motorist was either
extremely careless or extremely foolhardy. II he
were trying to beat the train to the crossing, his
judgment was simply atroctous-the train got there
first with yards to spare. And If he simply failed to
see 1t. he was guilty Of an inattention that seems al
most unbelievable.
What we started to say was that figures show that
there were more Of that kind Of crossing accidents
last year than ever before. And just what is to be
done about it we don't know. You would think that
any driver could keep from running onto a crossing
that was already occupied by a moving train. But,
apparently. an increasing number can not.

on thinking, miserably unhappy.
