Deposed General Said to Have For
feited Support of Some For
mer Followers.
London. Jan. 20. Writs have
been served upon Chief of Staff Hig
gins and the seven commissioners
who signed the requisition for sum
moning the high council of the Sal
vation Army, requiring them to at
tend high court here tomorrow for
a hearing on the application of Gen.
Rramwell Rooth for an injunction
against appointment of a successor
to his office.
The high council intends to ask
for adjournment until Friday in or
der to give the seven members time
to prepare an answer. If this is
granted it is clear that the work of
the high council, which plans ex
tensive changes in the government
of the organization will be greatly
proteracted.
A development of the week-end
was the telegram sent to Mrs. Rram
well Rooth at Southwold by one of
the oldest divisional officers. Lieu
tenant Cowham of the Southhampton
area. lie appealed to the Rooth fam
ily to desist from legal proceedings
on the ground that they are contrary
to scripture and to the Army's own
regulation, which positively pro
hibits settlement of disputes within
the Army by recourse to the civil
courts. So far as is known the Rooth
family is ignoring this appeal.
It is known that the seeking of
the injunction has alienated the
sympathies of three of the four com
missioners who previously had sup
ported the cause of General Rooth.
The council now stands virtually
unanimous on the side of the reform
ist and against the Rooth family.
The reformers charge that Gen
eral Rooth himself, as late as 1927.
laid down the regulation forbidding
Salvationists to go to law with oth
er members of the Army on pain of
dismissal from the Army. They pro
fessed surprise and regret that the
general himself should violate that
regulation and that he should seek
to test the legality of the deed of
1904 under which he accepted the
generalship. State Journal.
MARSHAL FOCH IS MENDING
Paris, Jan. 20. Marshal Foch
passed a very good night, and a bul
letin issued by his physicians this
morning indicated there was a gen
eral improvement in his condition.
The bulletin read: "The marshal
passed a very good night; a progres
sive improvement in all his symptoms
was noted."
After the bulletin there seemed an
inclination in circles close to tho
sickroom to believe that Marshal
Foch had gained more ground in his
battle to regain his health, but was
not yet out of danger. The three doc
tors who sat by his bedside for almost
two hours this morning Insisted upon
this later point; they added, how
ever, they were hopeful that if the
present progress continued for two
or three days more they might con
sider the chances of a sudden turn
for the worse very slight.
The old warrior was feeling so
much better that he discussed mili
tary operations and strategy with
the doctors after asking for and par
taking of more food than they had al
loted for his diet.
SLOAN DERIDES GUARANTY
Omaha, Jan. 17. Declaring the
Nebraska bank guaranty law un
sound in principle and nothing but a
"financial fad," Charles H. Sloan of
Geneva, congressman-elect, urged its
repeal before the Douglas county bar
association here today.
He advocated continuing the as
sessments on state banks, for a short
period, three or five years, but with
no guarantyy of deposits during that
time. At the end of the extension
period he would abolish the system
entirely.
That solvent state banks had re
ceived no benefit from the guaranty
law was asserted by the speaker.

Marriage - Shy
in California
Legislative
sidered
Inquiry
as Love
Is Being Con
God Deve
lops Super-Caution
Sacrainenta, Jan. 22. Marriage,
companionate or permanent, is be
coming more and more res non grata
with Californians!
(Jupid is getting shyer and more
shy of entering the holy bonds of
matrimony.
And once altar-bound the winged
god of love struggles more frequent
ly to break the tie that binds.
Such is the unhappy marriage
tale revealed by statistics in the of
fice of the state bureau of vital sta
tistics. So startling is the yen for freedom
from wedlock among Californians
that a legislative investigation of tile
growing divorce evil and slump in
marriages is imminent, a number
of prominent legislators admitted.
To Study Problem
The why and whererore causing
Californians to choose not to marry
or once married to choose not to
stay married wil be thororughly sift
ed the solons declared.
With the divorce rate jumping
over li per cent annually according
to the latest federal figures on Cal
ifornia's matrimonial shipwrecks,
something must be done about it, the
legislators insist.
While in 1025 there were 1U24
divorces granted in this state, by the
following year the divorce figures
had mounted to 12,005 in addition
to 1.2S1 marriages dissolved by an
nulment suits.
Meanwhile the marriage baro
meter has been steadily on the de
cline. In 1925 there were some 55.-
0S California brides led to th
a 1- I 1
tar; and in 192(1, in spite of the
great, increase in population there
were only 56.G6 4 weddings in the
state, a gain of 2.9 per cent. Since
1926, the number of marriages in
California has been steadily on the
decline according to state statistics.
During 1927, there were but 53,
498 couples united, a net decline of
3,166 from the previous year.
Divorce Haven
Although out-of-state weddings
may give California actually a high
er marriage rate than appears, there
is no glossing over the fact that the
Golden stats is one of the leading
divorce havens of the United Str.tes.
"How to make California happy
though married" will be one of the
major problems confronting the com
ing legislature. Among the panaceas
being proposed are many varied and
conflicting measures. One to repeal
the "Ginmarriage-"- law. sponsored
by Assemblyman H. T. Dillinger of
Placerville; another to lengthen the
three-day period between the appli
cation for a marriage license and its
being granted from three-days to five
suggested by Assembly woman Elea
nor Miller of Pasadena; a proposal
to make divorce easier by graining
dissolution of marriage for incurable
insanity vouched for by Assembly
man Harry Lyons of Los Angeles.

nation of the Very Rev. Howard C.
Robbins, dean of the cathedral of
St. John the Divine, to take effect

edral. The meeting was held in the
bishop's house because of the illness
of Rishop William T. Manning.

Two Weeks of Conferences End
Without Cabinet Indications
Plans for Dry Probe.
Washington, Jan. 19. After two
weeks of conferences with republican
party leaders, President-elect Hoo
1 ver will leave tomorrow for Florida
j where he will prepare his inaugural
address and rest up preparatory to
taking over the duties as the nation's
chief executive.
J At Miami he will be greeted by
the governor and other state officials
and accompanied to the J. C. Penney
estate or. Relic Island, where he and
Mrs. Hoover will be guests.
Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the
republican national committee will
accompany the president-elect to
Florida. Others in his immediate
party will be Miss Jannet Large of
os Angeles, a niece, and Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Richey. James Fran
cis Burke of Pittsburgh. Pa., who
was general counsel 01 the national
committee during the campaign, also
will be on the train with Mr. Hoo
ver, but he will stop at Palm Reach
to spend a few weeks there.
Extra Session Planned.
During his last day in Washington
the president-elect and Mrs. Hoover
attended services at the li ving Street
Friends' church, went for an automo
bile ride in the afternoon, and enter
tained a few friends at dinner during
the evening.
Out of his two weeks of confer
ences have developed decisions to
call an e xtra session of the new con
gress to act upon farm relief and
j tariff revision; to appoint a commis
sion to make an exhaustive investi
gation of prohibition and general law
enforcement, and a definite realign
ment of party control in New York
state. t
Speculation on State Place.
A part of the time also has been
devoted to discussions over the make
up of his cabinet. A score or more
of nanus have been suggested to the
president-elect for his consideration,
but whether he lias reached a de
finite decision apparently is known
only to himself.
Speculation revolves around the
selection of a secretary of state.
Frank R. Kellogg has announced that
he will retire from public life with
the end of the Coolidge administra
tion. Those talked about as his suc
cessor include Senator Borah of
Idaho, chairman of the senate for
eign relations committee; Dwight W.
Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, and
Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to
Rome, who accompanied Mr. Hoover
on his Latin-American tour. World
