FEE FOR ARRANGING
MARRIAGE REFUSED
Italian Court Hits Go-Be-
tWeens in Romances With
Z American Heiresses.

ROME up. - Matrimonial go-be-
tweens who have been known to earn
large sums by bringing about marriages
between American girls and members OF
italian aristocracy are studying ruefully
a decision of the Coun of Appeals OF
Milan
The court has turned down Signorina
Msddalena Michels claim for $4,000
from Cavaliere Leone Colleoni, who
married the wealthy American actress,
Ann Murdock, october IA, 1881.
According to Signorina Michel's petit
ton, Miss Murdock brought to Colleoni
go-between asked 10 per cent.
Mediation Held Illicit.
The tribunale. or lower court. of
Milan, turned down the claim. Sig
norma Michel appealed to the Court
of Appeals. The court declared:
Mediation in matrinony Is COM
pensable only when it is performed to
facilitate the property relations of the
couple But mediation is Illicit and un-
productive of legal effects when it is
performed with the purpose OF bringing
the couple together and obtaining their
reciprocal consent to matrimony."
Signorina Michel said she met Miss
MurOOCk III new 1OTk ana accompanied
her to Rome in August, 1881. Here,
she said. she saw that Miss Murdock
met Colleoni, who was then assistant
manager of large hotel here. Since
the marriage he has retired.
While they were in Rome, police of
Milan were searching for handbag
which Miss Mur0ock said contained
s5o0o0o in jewelry. She had left it in
a taxicsb.
Recants on 100000 Value.
Signorina Michel acted as an "out-
post to keep American reporters from
seeing the actress.
Miss Murdock and Signorina Michel
went to Milan when the handbag was
turned over to the police by the taxicab
driver. Under the Italian law the
actress would have to pay per cent
of the declared value of the jewelry to
the person who returned it to the police.
She then declared, however, that the
valuation was greatly exaggerated. An
appraiser was called in. who estimated
it at $35, 900. Miss Murdock compromised
by giving the taxi driver $1,000.

forests much Of the strict discipline IN.
herent in the military system and nee.
essary in building system to withstand
the shocks Of war will be relaxed
Instead Of relying on the system, the
individual officers placed in charge OF
the forestry army must depend upon
their ability to stir the Imagination OF
their men and create a morale that does
not rest on discipline for its strength OF
fiber. Upon their ability to build this
morale depends in large measure the
success or failure of the forestry expert
ment.
The Army representatives in charge
of the Washington recruiting have
already made an excellent impression
upon those who have watched their
work They have brought high degree
of efficiency into their task, preserving
a degree of good-humored tolerance of
rookie conduct that, while doubtless
causing hard-boiled drill masters of the
past to turn over in their graves, has
struck the right note.
These men of the forestry army must
be regarded as the volunteers in a fight
to the finish against a new sort of war.
The job facing the Army officers is to
make real soldiers of them, make them
feel that they are in truth honorable
volunteers fighting a good fight, and do
1t without beneit Of fixed bayonets,
court-martial or that particular type of
kitchen police" that other recruits,
since time immemorie,, have been taught
to dread.

Getting Together Again.

From the Schenectady Gazette.
There are indications on both sides
Of our Northern border Of a desire,
with the advent of the new Washington
administration. to further the cause of
friendly commercial relations. Plans in
the United States and Canada alike
have this object in view.
Our Northern neighbor is a customer
whose purchases in the past have been
in the hundreds of millions Of dollars
The trade war inaugurated by the
passage Of our Hawley-Smoot tariff
seriously interferred with this, driving
Canada toward England, although sep
arated from it by thousands Of miles
of ocean.
To seek to recapture a large part of
our lost trade Is far from a hopeless
undertaking. Canadians prefer to buy
many things from US rather than from
abroad And they have articles to sell
us which it would be to our advantage
to buy
But while Washington has been en-
gageds in the near-sighted policy Of
throwing up higher and higher bar
riers against Canadian products to fur
ther the interests of the comparatively
few interested in this policy. and with
the Dominion retaliating, our trade has
suffered heavily. A most desirable mar
ket for our surplus has been closed.
with its natural result of having add
ed to the unemployed in the United
States.
Restoration of friendly commercial
relations with our neighbor to the north
will prove of mutual benefit. The fact
that demand for hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of our goods exists
beyond that invisible line that separates
two great countries is sufficient incen-
tive to induce us to effect a friendly
working agreement with the Cana
dians. The gain to the vast number of
our people will offset any possible loss
to a few who might be adversely a.

A Job for the Army.

In some ways the Army has been
given the most difficult mission in its
history in connection with the super

In the new forestry experiment.
There is no doubt that the best

forestry recruits, overseeing their health
and sanitation and physical training
and generally directing their activities,

training has in large measure been de-
voted to learning the trick of handling
men, But in the military machine in
which most Of them have spent their
lives. the system itself transcends in
importance the personality of indiW-
duals. The strength OF the system makes
up for the human deficiencies Of indi-
viduals, and q weak officer may survive

privileged the Senate should amend its
rules, and if they are not it should
take such action as Is appropriate. "
On motion by the leader of the ma
jority party in the Senate the ques-
ton was referred to the Committee on
the judiciary. together with the pc
tit,on itself.
Under the sixth section of the first
article of the Constitution it is stipu-
lated that members of Congress shall
not be questioned in any other place
for any speech or debate in either
house" Thus everything said by mem
bers of the two houses in the course OF
debate is privileged" No suit for
libel can be entertained by court on
the ground of anything thus spoken.
Quite recently the Senator who now
complains of the publication of the
petition in question engaged in
furious attack upon citizen and upon
admonition by fellow Senator that
ne WAS dOuSilS LIS PAiNifSeS "a ~
munity he waived that immunity, at
first without restriction as to place OF
suit, and then with restriction to the
State which he represents in Congress.
Suit has been filed in the courts OF the
District of Columbia, wherein the Ian
guage was uttered and where the
offense, If any, against the law was
committed.
The question of privilege in respect
to public documents, including petit
tions addressed to and received by Con-
gress, Is one of great Importance to
the press. Thus far no serious ques-
ton has been raised regarding 1t. The
adoption of a rule by the Senate would
possibly not deny privilege to such
papers. A question Of constitutionality
would arise as to whether mere rule
could supplant the guarantee granted
by the first amendment, which forbids
abridgement OF the freedom Of the press
and permits the presentation of petit
tions. In any case, the question would
be more effectively and appropriately
raised by one who has not himself so
greatly abused his own privilege OF free
and unquestioned debate.

Privilege and Petitions.

Article of the first ten amendments
to the Constitution of the United
States, generally known as the bill of
rights" provides that Congress shall
make no law respecting the establish
ment of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof or abridging the free
dom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assem-
bic and petition the Government for
redress of grievances This amend

An Experiment in Unity.
From the New York Times.

from the New YORK Times.
Twenty-Five years ago was begun an
experiment which has been character
lied as new epoch in Protestant his
tory" Fer nearly 400 years the trend
had been in the direction Of multiplying
denominations and accentuating differ
ences In polity or creed. The organiza-
ton CT the Federal Council of Churches
OF Christ in America was face-abcut
from isolated denominationalism. No
surrender of creed is involved on the
part of any one OF the more than q
score of denominations with a present
communicate membership Of more than
22,000,000. This is rather a unicn,
indeed, IN behalf of causes and activities
which they can unitedly support. There
has been found to be enough unity In
the great central things for which these
several denominations stand to give
common ground fer action.
The movement is not an effort to
create unity, but recognition and ex-
preston of unity that already exists.
There is coed reason to expect that
from this acting together advance will
be made to a greater measure of fellow
ship in things of the spirit as well as
cooperation In the "temporalities"
which are incidental to spiritual enlarge
ment-the practical needs CT daily life.
And while 1t is a federation Of Protest.
ant churches. it has been also "a bridge"
between them and the Catholic Church,
on the one hand, and the Synagogue, on
the other. cultivating breadth of SYM
psthy for these great religious bodies
and fostering an attitude of mutual
respect and good will among the diverse
groups.
One Of the stated purposes of the
council was to secure larger combined
influence for the churches Of Christ In
all matters affecting the moral and
social condition Of the people. Especially
has 1t given voice to the desire for
peace on earth and In support of inter-
national cooperation for promoting It.
But more important than any of the
concrete programs of work which the
Federal Council has carried out Is the
fact that the council Is itself a demon
stration of the spirit of unity. In its
own fellowship and in its relationships
with other bodies 1t has shown that the
churches are not scctarian and sepa-
ratist in spirit. but can and will work
together in great common cause.
