THE HORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, SO' 31, 1905. TIES II NEW WIFE Jack London Wastes No Time After Divorce. LEGALITY IS QUESTIONED Bride Goes to Chicago Response to Telegram and Justice Tics Knot Lawyers Say Time Limit Was Ignored. CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Jack London, au thor and war correspondent, was married to Miss Charmion KIttredge, of Newton, la , last night by Justice J. J. Grant. MARSHALLTOWN. la., Nov. 20. A telegram to friends here announcing the marriage of Jack London and Miss Char mion KIttredge in Chicago, Sunday eve ning, brines out the fact that the wedding was to have taken place next Saturday morning at the home ot Mrs. will Mc Murray, at Newton. IaT, where the bride has been visiting Mrs. McMurray. & girl hood friend. Miss KIttredge received a telegram at 9 o'clock Saturday night, sum moning her to Chicago to meet London. The wedding followed soon after she ar rived. from his seat at the table and left the room. The excuse was that he had taKen offense at some action of Prince Henry. which he interpreted as a personal af front. But no such personal reason Is known to exist why Admiral Dewey did not care to see Prince Louis, and officials well as others say that Admiral Dewey's rank requires him to forget his personal feetngs and to extend to a vis iting officer the courtesy due his rank. and not leave It to a different branch of the service to do him honor. Scheme Opposed by Cannon. WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 The sug gestion to give Congress power to ap propriate money to build an auditorium in Washington for the ceremonial en tertainment of incoming Presidents has already met opposition in Congress. For some time past the citizens of the District of Columbia have been making plans to secure a large and elaborate building in Washington for the ceremonies attending the inaugura tion of Presidents, especially a build- ng in which to hold the inaugural ball. At one time a movement was started to purchase the Government building at the St. Louis Exposition, but this failed, and then attention was turned to Congress, with the idea of Inducing that body to appropriate money for the erection of a suitable building. So far the local committee has col lected 5100.000 towards the building of the auditorium, $5000' of which was left from the fund of the last Inauguration, and the committee in charge of the matter was anxious for Congress to appropriate the other $900,000 with which to build the proposed building. 2IAS IGNORED ILLINOIS IAW But London Says He Will Marry In Every State. CHICAGO, Nov. .20. Because of his ig norance of a new law governing the mar riage of divorced persons in the State of Illinois, Jack London, the well-knovn author, has placed himself in a somewhat embarrassing position and it may be necessary for him to remarry Miss Char mion KIttredge, of Newton, la., to whom he was wedded yesterday. The last Legislature of Illinois passed n law forbidding the marriage of di vorced persons in this state under one year after a divorce. The same law is in effect la California, In which state Mr. London was dlvorcea from his first wife. The initial decree in this case was issued November 17, 1904, and the final decree November 18, 3903. Mr. London, assuming that the year commenced from the issue of the preliminary decree, considered him self free to marry as soon as one year had elapsed. It Is declared by lawyers in this city. however, that divorce is not effective un til the- final decree is granted, and that the one year of probation must elapse after that time. When the situation was brought homo to the author today he said; "I will crct married In every state in the Union just as fast as I can get from one to another if it is necessary. The state law of California provides that divorced person may not marry within a year, and to encompass this ond, the court grants a divorce, and one year later a decree. Whether this divorce is amen able to the laws of Illinois is something 1 do not know, but it seems that the Illinois law did not go into effect until last July, and It cannot affect my case.' MANY MEN LEFT BEHIND About 200 Sailors Stranded When British Squadron Sails, NEW YORK. Nov. 20. About 200 sailors from the British squadron com manded by Prince Louis of Battenberg were missing frcjn their ships when the squadron made ready to sail today. Several who overstayed their leave were turned away when they tried to board their ships this morning. The officers treated them as deserters and refused to let them step aboard. The officers said tliey were willing to lose these men on the principle that they are worthless- and their loss is a good riddance. Many of the rejected sailors wept. Their uniforms. In some cases, had been taken from them in Bowery re sorts, and they had spent all their money before returning to their ships, Many of them immediately applied to the immigration office for their re turn to England. Commissioner Watchorn said that fine of $2 a bead would be levied on the Prince's fleet for every sailor who appears to have been left stranded in New York, the same as Is imposed on captains of trans-Atlantic steamers for every immigrant smuggled into the United States without due examination The British ships weighed anchor shortly before noon and proceeded down the Hudson River, bound for Gib raltar. LEFT IN OUTER DARKNESS UNITARIANS AND UNIVERSAL' ISTS NOT CHRISTIANS. EG 1 CLEAN President's Plan to Stop Bru tality in Football. PUT BRUTES OFF GRIDIRON DEWEY SLIGHTS PRINCE LOUIS Admiral of Navy Avoids Meetinir British Commander. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2d. Much com ment has been made not only In naval and army circles, but among official and social people as well, in regard to the strange absence of Admiral Dewey's name and presence in connection with any ot the festivities and entertainments given Prince Louis of Battenberg. It has been remarked -that not slnco the British Rear-Admiral arrived in American waters has there been a formal or informal ex change of visits between the American Admiral and the British Prfnce. The Prince called on the Secretary of Navy, and all the Rear-Admirals on duty in this city assisted the Secretary In re ceiving. But Admiral Dewey was not present. It was not the. Admiral of the American Navy who entertained the British Rear-Admiral, but Lieu tenant General Chaffee, the head of the Army. He was the only official, outside of the President, who entertained the Prince on his Washington visit, and even on this occasion Admiral Dewey was not pres ent, although he was invited and expect ed to meet the Prince at the state dinner at the White House that night. Some are saying that Admiral Dewey's health has not been such as to permit Church Federation Excludes Them, but WHl Admit Catholics Hlllis on Sunday Theaters. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. The interchureh Conference on Federation today changed the wording of the phrase, "Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior," in the preamble of the constitution of the Federal Council, to read "Jesus Christ, Our Divine Lord and Savior." An amendment to allow other churches to join the Federal Council proposed by Professor James Q. Dealey. professor of social and political science of Brown Lmi verslty, was laid on the table. Professor Dealey Is the head of the Rhode Island Federation of Churches and Christian Workers, a body which Includes both Universalfsts and Unitarians. It is understood the resolution to insert the word "divine" 'as applied to Josus Christ in the preamble of the constitution excludes the Universalists as well as the Unitarians and some other religious bodies from membership In the council. Exclude Unitarians, Admit Catholics A plea for Roman Catholics to Join the Federation was made by Rev. L. C. Barnes of Worcester, Mass. He began by speaking in favor of the Unitarians and Universalists, saying: "I would be glad to see the few who do not respond to the full divinity of Jesus Christ come into the assembly. I have no fear that the millions of Methodists. Baptists and Presbyterians would be in the least harmed by the thousands of Unitarians and Universalists. I should regard It as a splendid advance if they did come in. "But there are other bodies which I, for one, should like to see have representa tives. I would like to see the door opened to the Roman Catholics, who certainly be lieve enough." Rev. Dr. Roberts, the permanent chair man, said that Roman Catholics wore not excluded by the terms of the propo sition of federation. Must Preach -In Theaters. Rev. N. Dwlght Hlllis, chairman of the evangelistic work of the National Council of Congregational Churchos of the United States, told the proachors not to break their hearts if they had large congrega tions in the morning and but a few In the evening. He said If they would only hire theaters they could get the people to at tend service. "There were two theaters open last night." he said, "and If you and I do not use the 40 theaters on Sundays there will soon be a time when the theaters will be open from the Atlantic to the Padflc on Sundays." Brewer Gives Bigots a Dig. At the evening session Judge H. S. Grosscup. of the United States Supreme Court, of Chicago, contributed the paper on "ihe Popular Conscience," In a dis cussion of the "United Church and th National Dfc" Justice CDavld J. Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, read a paper on ' "Law and Justice." He said: l looK and hope for a federation cteser than that adopted by the conference. Very likely it was better to take a hert iep forward than to rik failure by going too far. The man who cannot work with Ed ward Everett Hale and Cardinal Gibbon has no clear conception of tho goodness of God. I say that. If all cannot admit the divinity of Christ, they are yet all followers of his leadership. Law and Justice should coincide; unfortu nately they do not. If this were brought anoui mere would be no heed of suporvle4n or banks or Insurance companies. The church would be a sort of mutual insur ance company whose salaries and policies would only be payable to the cashier up yonaer. in ere would be no tainted money: the law of injunction would drop into harm less desuetude; the Chinaman would learn a new idea or American Justice. What sreater power Is there to accomplish this than a federated church? Such a body could reform New York, make Philadelphia gooa ana umcaco clean. tiovernment by the People," was the tftle of a paper read by Henry Wade Rogers, of iale University. His Suggestions Given to Professor White, of Pennsylvania Agree ment Among College Presi dents to Bar Brutes. . PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 39. Dr. J. Will iam White, professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania arid a mem ber of the university committee on ath letics, returned tonight from Washing ton, where he had been summoned by Prosident Roosevelt to discuss matters relating to football. In an interview to night Mr. White said: "The President did me the honor to ask me to lunch with him at the White House today for the purpose of discuss ing with him the situation as to American football. Aji article of mine published in last week's Outlook was the occasion of the Invitation. As to what took place during my visit, the President has per mitted me to say that we arc in complete acoord as to the need of the permanent abolishment of brutality and foul play: of the increase of the power of the officials and the severity of the penalties as be ing necessary to bring about such aboli tion: as to the desirability of careful con sideration of any changes in the .rules that may be required to minimize danger while preserving the essential, manly and vigorous characteristics of the came and as to the urgent need of earnest .effort to secure a simple and uniform eligibility code for all American colleges and uni versities. The President said he 'em phatically believes in continuing the game.' The President added: His Idea or How to Do It.

It woeld be a real misfortune to loe so manly and vigorous a came as football. aa4 to avert Hueh a possibility the college authorities in eaeh collece should fee to It that tbe game In that collece is dean. Why He Called Conference. "The President explained to me tho se lection of tho institutions that came to the conference at the White House test month, by saying: " T was asked to call It by representa tives of Harvard. Yale and Princeton and called it accordingly. If Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cornoll representatives had happened to make the suggestion, then only those three colleges would have been asked.' "He spoke more than once of the de sirability of continuing the game and of extending to as many as possible its ad vantages with the safeguards already montionod. He said that the five or six leading colleges should get together and agree to play one another under such an agreement as he prescribed. He also spoke of the far greater relative danger of many other sports and pastimos, some of which he enumerated. He showed characteristically keen Interest and thor ough acquaintance with the whole subject." PERSONAL MENTION. W. D.

"My wife and I find that four toa spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and a cup of hot milk, or some cream, with It. makes the finest night-cap In the world." says an Alleghany. Pa., man. "We go to sleep as soon as we strike the bed. and slumber like babies till rising time In tho morning. "It Is about three years now since we began to use Grape-Nuts food, and we always have It for breakfast and before retiring and sometimes for, lunch. I wax so sick from what the doctors called acute indigestion and brain fag before I began to use Grape-Nuts that I could nelthe eat, sleep nor work with any comfort I was afflicted at the same time with the most Intense- pains, ac companied by a racking headache and backache, every time I tried to eat any thing. Notwithstanding an unusual pressure from my professional duties. 1 was compelled for a time to give up my work altogether. Then I put myself on a diet of Grape-Nuts and cream alone, with an occasional cup of Postum Food Coffee as a runner-up, and sometimes a little dry toast. I assure you that in less than a week I felt like a new man I had gained six pounds In weight, could sleep well and think well.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRDP OF FIGS is a remedy ot known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
