MARRIAGE IGNORING LAW IND RIGHTS OF
 WIFE IS ON ROCKS
Associated Press Photo

CHICAGO, Ill, March 21-Tht marriage of two University of Chi cago students in which they signed contract agreeing to restricted social and economic claims on eacf other has collapsed.
 The breakdown of she unusua pact signed by Lee Dolan and Vir. ginia Roth, before their marriage ir September, 1928, was aired in Super. for Court where Dolan lost ar alienation oi affections suit against his father-in-law
 The agreement, introduced as evil dence in the trial, and entered into is an attempt Ito foster and pre- serve the great love which now exists" evidently fell far short of that mark. At the end of the trial he told the court he was not really after the money Che sued for $50,000) and merely wanted his wife back, but the young woman refused to speak to him and left the court room on the arm of her father.
 Judge Michael L. Mckinley, in di- recting the jury to return verdict of mot guilty said it was the most outrageous contract I have ever heard of" He called it a mere companionate marriage, by which you assume all the benefits and none of the duties of a hus- band"
 Dolan denied it was compan- ionate marriage and insisted every thing would have worked out all right if his father-in-la Edgar Roth, architect, had not interfered.
 The contract provided that Dolan was not to support his wife until 1883, when both should have finish ed their university courses. Each one promised not to interfere with the others school attendance or career and they were both given the right to forbid social relations with other persons.
 The agreement provided that the wife should not contract bills in the husbands name, that she must live with him at least three months out of every year and never absent herself from wherever he might be by distance of more than 600 miles, and that in disagreements his judgment should be binding.
 The provision that in the event of any section of this agreement comes into conflict with the law of the land, it is the desire of both parties that such section of this agreement shall take precedence, ]" was especially referred to by Judge Mckinley in his Announcement of the pact.
 Turning to the plaintiff, he said. You want to be lawyer and yet you flout all laws, both statutes and dictates of humanity"

u. S. Will Renew Court
ParIev With China

Decision Of the State Depart
ment to renew negotiations with
China looking to abolition Of
American extraterritorial rights
today was regarded as another
gesture of friendship and a fur.
ther step in the general concilia-
ton policy of the Administration.
A set of tentative conditions
viii be laid before Chinese au"
thoritieS in October, but it is con"
sidered unlikely that they can be
fulfilled in the near future. Great
Britain already has submitted
similar proposals to China.
The offer, however, is expected
to strike a responsive chord
among the nationalist leaders in
China, who threatened summarily
to end the jurisdiction Of Ameri'
can courts last January /.
Under the extraterritoriality
treaty with China, negotiated in
1S48, American citizens and in-
terestS are heard in American
courts by American judges. Indi.
viduals, sentenced for crimes In
China are confined in an Ameri.
can all in Shanghai or in an Amer
ican prison.
The extraterritorial jurisdiction,
exercised by all the leading
powers, has been like a sore
thumb to the nationalist leaders,
who have been waging war to
unity the vast Oriental nation.
Since the United States as
long ago as 1908 profeSsed will
lingnesS to end extraterritoriality
whenever China should establish
a proper judicial system and has
since repeatedly declared that the
treaty should ultimately be ended,
the new move of the State De.
partment may not bring about a
final decision.
The proposals to be submitted
to China were not made public,
but they are expected to follow
the report of the Strawn commits
sion made in 1926, This commits.
sion proposed a gradual abandon

but only after China had adopted
Western legal principles. estab-
hShed impartial courts and mod.

GEN. YEN QUITS;
PE|P|NG RULE
COLLAPSES
Gen. Fen Yu-Hsiang Left Alone
In Northern Field When
Gen. Yen Hsi-Shan Departs

SHANGHAI, Sept. 10 GNS9.
The Peiping government, a stun.
bling block for the past year and
a half to the Marking govern.
ment, collapsed today with the
resignation Of its leader, Gen.
Yen Hsi-Shan, according to au-
thentic information received from
the northern capital.
The virtual end of the rebel
lion which at time threatened to
sweep the Marking regime out Of
existence came as the culmina-
ton of futile efforts to secure
concerted support from the
northern coalition in his military
campaign, together with failure
of Chang HSueh-Lian. Manchu-
rian war lord, to pool resources
and man power with him.
Nanking JubiIant
Withdrawal Of Yen from the
helm of the rival government
caused iubilation in Nanking Of
ficial circles, where it is felt that
latest developments indicated an
early cessation of hostilities.
Yen's resignation left Fen Yu-
Hsiang alone in the field. whose
military position will be greatly
weakened by the withdrawal Of
Yen's troops from the Tientsin-
Pukow railway holdings into
mountain-encircled Shansi.
General Yen HSi-Shan without
doubt welded the greatest infiu-
ence in the northern coalition and
was perhaps the sustaining factor
of Markings northern rival. His
position in Shansi province, where
he is known as the Model Cover
nor" has always been considered
impregnable.
Retirement as active head of the
Peiping administration left the
regime in the hands of Wang
Ching-Wei, left wing Kuomintang
leader. AS co-leader Of rebellion,
Marking heads have charged MIN
also with instigating communist
outbreaks. that some months ago
eliminated in the footing and pill
Laying of Changsha, capital OF
Human province.
Manchurian Feared
The consistently neutral atti.
tude of the Manchurian war lord
interspersed at times with reports
that he intended mobilizing his
forces south of the great wall TO
swing upon the rebels were held a
primary factor in influencing Yen
to resign, in official circles here.
Added to this uncertainty was
the announcement by President
Chang Kai-Shek, of the Marking
government, that 100000 troops
were ready for movement upon
Hankow and other points in an
unprecedented attempt to end
military resistance.
The northern rebellion leoned
as Markings major threat after
Generals Yen Hsi-Shan and Feng
Yu-Hsiang organized the northern
rebels in solid fighting array on
the basis that President Kali .Shek
was a dictator who tolerated .
corrupt administration.

8 SENATE SEATS
IN DRY FIGHT
By Hal
CoffnGn

Continued From Page -
Democrats are rated dry, although
Walsh in Montana has modified
his stand to say he will be guided
by the wishes of his constituents.
Three G. o. p. "Wets"
Only three Republican Sena-
torial candidates are considered
openly and avowedly against pro-
hibition-Morrow in New Jersey,
Shaw in Colorado. and Galen in
Montana. There are some others,
however, like Davis in Pennsyl-
vania, and Couzens in Michigan,
who might be considered on the
border-line. Neither has taken a
very positive stand on the issue.
The Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, organized
and financed on a permanent basis
after the 1923 election, points
with pride" to the fomenting of
so many clear-out contests in the
forthcoming election.
The association, non-political, or
rather, bipartisan, has modelled
it's efforts somewhat after those of
it's dry rival, the Anti-Saloon
League, by going out into congress.
Sional districts and state contests
and encouraging wet candidates
to oppose drys.
It has been the leagues boast
for years that it made it 'politi-
cally unsafe to be wet" The asso-
citation, proceeding on the same
line, is endeavoring to make it
equally as politically unsafe to be
dry.
Ignores Party Lines
In the primary campaigns just
ended it has without exception
supported the wet candidate ir-
respective of party.
It will do so in the approach
ing election in November. Where
both candidates are wet, as in
the New Jersey Senate contest
and in many Congressional dis.
tricts in the East, the association
keeps hands Off. as has been the
policy of the league where both
candidates have been dry.
Leaders in the association con.
fidently predict a gain of 35 to
40 seats for the vets in the
House. Republican and Demo
cratic leaders are privately in.
clined to view this as a fair esti.
mate. Some think it will be
larger.
Fighting Bloc Seen
In the present Congress, the
vets claimed to have a bloc of
nearly 100 votes they could mus
ter on a given showdown. Be
cause OF the conditions arising
out OF the 1928 election, and the
immense Republican majority,
this wet strength was considered
abnormal. -
With the off-year swing toward
normalcy. If the vets can make
good their prediction of picking
up some IS to 40 seats, there ap
pears to be strong prospect of
the Seventy-second Congress con.
tanning a formidable and proba-
bly, an exceedingly militant wet
bloc-by no means approaching
a majority, but still strong
enough to make things interesting
foE the dry majority.
