The regulations will, U is said, be

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.

Portland, Jan. 29. - In the Halt
case today United States District At
torney Bristol and Francis J. Heney
clashed, Bristol flatly denying he had
made promises of immunity to ex-
United States Commissioner Hamilton
H. Hendricks for "his testimony
against Hall. Heney flashed the fol
lowing telegram on Bristol which
would bear out Hendricks' Btory:
“Francis J. 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

then that Judge Webster announced
