"This rule will not be alter ed by the new legislation ” The regulations will, U is said, be announced after Easter. A decree was issued chiefly on ac count of the inconvenience arising in Europe from what are termed “sponsalla.” that is. mutual promises of marriages privately entered upon. These sponsalla, it was found, caus ed the deception of inexperienced girls, and gave rise to dissensions and disputes. The new regulations provide that all marriages shall take place before the parish priest or some one duly authorized by him, and that there shall be two witnesses. There were some other condit attached, but these regulations not apply to this country. . . x--------- . - — - LITTLETON ARGUES ON INSANITY OF HARRY THAW Portland, Or., Jan. 29.—Western Oregon-Occasional rain or snow to night.

Heney — Hendricks wants sentenco date post potted to some day next week to enable him to consult wilh you relativ»» to evidence on Hermann and Hall, in considera tion for reduction of sentence. I don't see any harm in postponement until you get here. What do you say? Answer. “BRISTOL, “United States Attorney.” “I never sent that telegram," de clared Bristol. "Rittenhouse showed It to m«> after It had been sent and I jacked him up about It.” Bristol denied emphatiscally that he had ordered the telegram sent and replying to Heney’s questions said that while he assisted Heney In some cases he always thought Rittenhouse and Neuhausen were Heney’s princi pal representatives. "You thought so,” said Heney. "It was a fad," answered Bristol, firmly. "Didn't von tell tne you had a trtjk with Hendricks and that he had ton' you of his conversation with Hall?',x asked Heney. “No, sir,” and Bristol stepped down. k Leaving the stand tie whispered in to Heney's ear for a ml nut«» i»i>, evidently striving to couviuce tha prosecutor of gome mistake aljout tha telegram.
