1
Welfare W orkers Laud Judge
for Denying Annulment of
Marriage. However.
Judge llarry A. J-ewi* of Chicago
acted wisely when lie refused to an
mil the marriage of Harry G. Molr,
is, to Irene Johnson, 16, according to
Omaha welfare workers.
"Certainly. 1 would say', the mar
riage Should not he annulled, ' said
Wallace Wilson, superintendent of
the board of public welfare. "Judge
Lewis is right when be states that
the young people of today realize the
responsibilities of marriage at an
earlier age than our grandparents. If
this Chicago hoy thought enough of
the girl to marry her, why separate
them now? I would require them to
stick to their agreement.
"We have a rase now before us. of
a youth lit and a girl 18. The father
of the hoy wants the marriage set
aside and we are resisting the father.
We are telling this young husband
that he must face his responsibili
ties and be a good husband."
"I believe it yvas correct for Judge
Lewis to refuse to annul this mar
riage." said Health Commissioner A.
S. Pinto, "but It seems too bad that
we should allow such young per
sons to be married. They should be
In school at 18 and 16. A hoy at 18
Is not stabilized: he does not know
what he wants to do. But now that
these Chicago young people are mar
ried, I would not set the marriage
aside.”
"I am for Judge Lewis,” sold Mrs.
Ida Levin of the public welfare de
partment. "The judge did the right
thing. I suppose if the girl In Ibis
rase had been of a rleh family the
father of the boy would not have
sought to liave had the marrlge set
aside. Make them realize their re
sponsibilities. Judge Lewis Is correct
when he states that young people of
today are more advanced In their
ideas of marriage."
Mrs. Margaret Ormsby of the wel
fare department advocates serious
deliberation before marriage, but she
holds that if young people elect to
he married early and they really
care for each other, it would be
unwise to annul the marriage.
Or. Harry A. Postet . member of
welfare board, said: “The ages of IS
ind 16 are too young for marriage.
Young people at these ages do not
know what they want to do In the
serious progress of life. Invariably,
marriage at these ages go on the
rocks.”

‘Gerrymander” Bill In Which
They Objected Won’t Be
Pressed.
• . . t
By liiteriintlonnl New* Service,
Indianapolis, lud., Feb. 27.—Having
obtained the promise of republican
leaders that the Penrod “gerryman
der'* bill, restricting the state, would
not be “forced upon them," the I
recalcitrant Indiana senate demo-j
cratic minority was back in the,
Hoosier capital today, ready to an-]
swer to roll call.
Terms of the agreement between
the senate majority and the 15 demo
cratic senators, who fled to Ohio to
evade arrest on charges of wilfully
breaking a quorum, when they feared
their party would lose a seat In con
gress by passage of the “gerryman
der" measure, were not made public.
However, reports were current that
the republicans had promised to
lend enough voting strength to the
minority to defeat the Penrod hill
when it comes up for final passage.
With the return of Senator Joseph
M. Cravens, minority floor leader,
and the "lost battalion," threats of
indictment by the Marion county
grand jury and fines of $1,000 for
each senator who contributed to
preventing a senate quorum, were
forgot* n.
“We’re glad to see you hack, boys,"
Lieutenant Governor Van Orman,
presiding officer of the senate, told
minority senators upon their return
You will he just as welcome as you
were on the opening day of the ses
slon.”
The '‘strike” of the minority held
the senate idle two days.
