SECURITY BOARD
FACES CHANGES
Shift Necessitated by Lati-
mer's Nomination-MiIes
May Leave.

With the constitutionality OF the
SOCIAL security act at last before the
supreme Court, it developed yester-
day that a change is impending IN
the membership of the Social Security
Board which administers the legisla-
ton.
The shift is necessitated by the re-
cent nomination for a board vacancy
OF Murray w. Latimer, a Democrat,
despite the fact that already there
are two Democrats on the board
the limit under the law
Latimer, representing the public on
the Railroad Retirement Board, OF
which he is chairman, was named to
social security on the resignation Of
Chairman JOHN G.. Winant, a New
Deal Republican, who formerly was
Governor Of New Hampshire. At the
same time, Arthur J. Altmeyer, Wis
conSin Democrat, was designated by
President Roosevelt to be chairman.
The third board member is Vim
and there was a report current yes
terday ne was 10 take another Govern
ment post, but he said he had not been
advised such a change was contem-
plated. His term expires in August,
while that Of Altmeyer runs until
1889, and that to which Latimer was
named, until 1941.
The question of Latimer's political
affiliation, it was indicated, did not
enter White House calculations at
the time of his selection, but was
raised when the nomination got into
the Senate and was sent to the FL
nance Committee, where it has since
remained.
The case testing the validity of the
act itself came up from Alabama,
and argument was concluded Friday.

LA|DTOPOLLUT|ON
Direction of Wind and Tide
Resulted in Slaughter,
Expert Says.

Rising tide and steady southwest
wind which backed up surface pollu-
tion toward the shore was held respon-
sible by q Bureau of Fisheries expert
yesterday for the recent death Of thou
sands Of fish near the anchorage of
the Corinthian Yacht Club, Western
Branch and First street southwest.
G. c. Leach, chief Of the division of
fish culture, Bureau of Fisheries, said
the f1sh were deprived OF their usual
supply OF oxygen by a surface scum of
oils, gas, sewage and other refuse
which covered the water in the par
ticular area for several hours. It was
possible, Leach stated, that some un-
determined chemical action also con-
tributed to the slaughter.
Yacht club attendants who first re-
ported the situation told yesterday of
rowing across to Hams Point Thursday
evening and dipping up dozens of bass,
catfish, perch, carp and eels with
every stroke of crab net. BY Friday.
however, the surface pollution had
been carried away by an ebb tide, they
said
Leach said the condition, in a less
deadly form, existed in many of the
waters near the District, but that the
combination Of wind and tide on
Thursday seldom occurred with such
destructive results. He said further
efforts would be made by the bureau
to determine the exact cause OF the
occurrence.

Ne,U York Permits Marriage
By Contract Without Ceremony

New York State law of domestic rela-
tions since 1901, but is used compara-
lively rarely. In New York City it
was used only once before-for the
marriage Of DR.. Myrtle Bryan
McGraw, child psychologist. and
Rudolph F. Mallina, research engi-
neer, last Fall.
The reason for New York's use OF
the marriage contract Is puzzling,
particularly since no other State has
anything like it.
1t became part of the domestic rela-
tons law Of New York when common
law marriages were temporarily abol-
ished by the Legislature at the begin
ming OF the century. They were per-
manently banned in 1888.
DR.. Albert Jacobs of Columbia
University Law School, who has
studied domestic relations for years,
suggests 1t may have been introduced
as concession to those who believed
that 1t was unjustinable for the State
to require formal ceremony of
marriage"
Thus" DR.. Jacobs explained, "the
Legislature, in abolishing common law
marriage, would be setting up q device
somewhere between this looser form
common law and a strictly civil or
religious ceremony"
Quotes Attorney General.
DR.. Jacobs quoted an attorney gen.
erals opinion to show that the con-
tract enables couples, below the age
at which they might otherwise marry,
to do so without the necessity of per-
juring themselves"
Twelve States have marriage laws
vaguely similar to the New York con-
tract, without actually having the
contract.
The only restriction on the form
OF ceremony required in California,
Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina,
| Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, Wis
consin and Wyoming is that the par
ties shall declare, in the presence Of
a solemnizing officer, that they take
each other to be husband and wife"
Most OF these States require witnesses
to the ceremony.

NEW YORK, April l0.-New York
Is the only place where marriage can
be strictly business proposition.
It is the only State in which 4
man can take a wife-and vice versa
by merely signing on the dotted line
Of contract.
Every other State in the Union re-
quires a ceremony.
The contract form is legally the
same as the one a man uses to lease
house or buy an automobile. 1t is
promissory note to love, honor and
cherish"
1t was brought to national attention
recently by the marriage in New York
City OF Eleanor Andrus, an Oswego,
Greg, artist, and Peter ]. Bitterman,
IT,, a New York architect.
Text Of Contract.
Explaining they thought the con-
tract was the most logical form Of
marriage" the bride and bridegroom
signed a pact which said:
The parties herewith agree to and
hereby do marry one unto the other.
The party Of the first part agrees
to love, honor and cherish the party
Of the second part, and to keep unto
him as her lawful husband forever,
and the party OF the second part
agrees to love, comfort and cherish
the party OF the first part as his lawful
wife forever
The party Of the first part does
hereby become the lawful welded wife
Of the party OF the second part, and
the party of the second part becomes
the lawful husband of the party of
the first part; all to the same effect
and extent as il their marriage had
been solemnized before a clergyman
or proper magistrate
The contract was typewriter, and
was acknowledged by Supreme Court
Justice Mcclellan. There were no
flowers, no music, no kisses, no tears,
no rice, no old shoes. The newlyweds
just signed the paper, had it duly
witnessed, and went on their way.
Used Only Once Before.
The contract has been part OF the

Coz. Earle Leads
Press Poll of 1910
Democratic Honor
Roosevelt Mentioned as
Possible Third-Terr,

Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsyl-
