Man Held for Bigamy
Asks Armullment of
His Third Marriage
Harry S.' McKay, arrested No
vember 30 and bound over to the
district court under $1,500 bond on
the charge of bigamy, filed a suit in
district court yesterday asking that
his marriage to his third wife, Mar
garet Fillenworth McKay, be an
nulled. McKay says his first wifj died and
that he filed suit in Hennepin coun
ty, Minnesota, for a divorce from his
second wife. Ht alleges that he
thought this was all that was nec
essary for him to do and that he
didn't know he was not divorced
from his second wife when he mar
ried the third.
His third wife has already filed
suit in district court asking to have
her marriage to him annulled. In
his suit, filed yesterday, he resists
payment of temporary alimony and
attorney's fees, alleging that he can
not be forced to pay alimony to a
woman who is not his legal wife.

Emigration of Surplus
Women in England to
Colonies Discouraged
London, Dec. 20. Hopes enter
tained by England's surplus women
of opportunities for a broader and
better life in the British dominions
and colonies are less rosy than a
few months ago. Prospects for
women intending to emigrate were
investigated on behalf of Wrafs,
Wrens, Waacs and war nurses and
found to be unalluring. A govern
ment survey showed . that the only
occupation open to any large num
ber of emigrants is domestic serv
ice. Miss Gladys Potts, who has just
returned from Canada, reported that
difficulties incident to the severe
Canadian winter gave little encour
agement to the British ex-land girl
who hoped to go in for farming
"on her own." However, Miss
Potts found that Canada needed
women teachers and nurses.
Th,e Australian investigator re
ported that Australia already had a
female surplus of 97,309, so girls
must not emigrate there with hopes
of getting married aoon. Australia
can use more domestic servants and
teachers.
Difficulties of women emigrants
to New Zealand, except nurses,
would be too great for the average
British girl, it was found.
All English girls are cautioned to
have jobs promised and a certain
program worked out before going
to live in any of the colonies. -
The British Chamber of Com
merce at Sao Paulo, Brazil, has
inauguated a series of British in
dustry fairs in order to stimulate
the importation of British manufac
tured goods in Brazil.
Elinor Glyn Discusses the
Age's License and Restraint
London, Dec. 20. The wild spirit
of breaking from control and con
vention is on us the throwing off
of clothes, the indulgence in con
tinuous dancing," states Mrs. Elinor
Glyn in an article in the Ladies'
Field, discussing the license and re
straint of the century.
"There is no use in being shocked
and aghast at it," she continues "It
will pass nothing remains which is
not bf use in the general scheme of
things. We are all so apt to take
a parochial view, so to speajc, of
everything which is new to us, in
stead of, trying to climb a stage
higher before we judge and see the
further peaks beyond.
"So now as I sit at dinner at the
Ritz and watch one unclothed wo
man coming in after another quite
at ease and pleased with herself, it
no longer shocks me, and I can even
admire whatever bit of any of them
I see which is beautiful.
"The world is advancing with
such rapid strides now. All these
wonderful books which have been
written since the warabout tha
life after death must have helped
thousands of people sto form a
saner, more tolerant point of view."
:Jury Stood Nine for Con
s'' viction, Three for Ac
' ' quittal After Day and
, - Two Nights.
i
a.
; Unable to agree on a verdict after
two nights and a day in the jury
, room, the jury which heard the evi-
-dence in the case of George Davis
was discharged by District Judge
Redick yesterday morning.
The iurv stood nine far conviction
J and three for acquittal and did not
change throughout the long delib
? eration, according to one of the ju-
rors.
I "I heard that the jury stood 9 to 3
J for conviction," said Eugene O'Sul-
livan, one of the attorneys for Davis.
J "I also heard they were 7 to 5 for
conviction when they took their first
ballot.
Believes Davis Innocent.
t "We are ready to go to trial again.
I I believe Davis is absolutely inno
"1 cent and that Mayor Smith made a
mistake in his identification."
Davis was charged with assault
; with intent to murder and assault
with intent to do great bodily in
I jury to Mayor Smith the night of
' the court house riot.
- When Judge Kedick had the 1Z
, men brought in to the court room
yesterday morning he Inquired: (
"Is there any possibility that you
may fcgree if you are sent bak to
i( the jury roomr
"We might change one vote of
8 the three who are for acquittal, but
we couldn't change the other two,"
t the foreman replied,
f County Attorney Shotwell imme-
diately had the case set down for a
second trial on December 29.
George Davis lives at 1512 North
Twenty-eighth street, is a whole
i sale and retail peddler of fruits and
, " vegetables, 33 years old, six feet tall
and weighs 215 pounds.
vldentified By Mayor.
He was identified with the great
l est certainty by Mayor Smith, who,
w however, made his first identifica
" tion from an old photograph of
I Davis which bears little resemblance
Vto him.
, .i John Overby also testified that he
bav had known Davis before the
' night of the riot. Russell Norgard .
. ; testified that he saw JJavis in tne
mob just before the .attack on the
2 .mayor. V
I : Davis defense was an alibi. Six
.! persons testified that he was at his
home from 8:15 in the evening of
J Sunday, September 28, the night of
the riot, until he left for work the
. H next morning.
i Saye He Went Home.
Davis himself admitted he was at
j the court house about 3 o'clock that
' t Sunday afternoon. He said he went
i , from there to a near-beer saloon at
i Sixteenth and Davenport, where he
i played cards and drank whisky un
l til about 7:30 that evening and then
-: shortly after that time he went home
"tin a taxicab.
l The trial started last Monday
S i morning, nearly all day being con-
! sumed in securing a jury. Taking
. j of evidence then continued until
i Thursday noon. That afternoon was
,- Z' consumed in argument and the jury
'x took the case at 6 o'clock Thursday.
t, Davis is out of jail under $14,000
J ! bond.
"Jay Walking" Must Stop
In Boston's Main Streets
Boston, Dec. 20. "Jay-walking
must stop," saj? Col. John W. De
crow, commanding the First Motor
corps traffic squad, who is directing
another move to protect the lives of ,
Boston citizens by keeping them on
the crosswalks and not allowing '
other place,
la two hours one of Colonel De-
crow's men on duty at the corner of ;
State and Congress streets, stopped
155 pedestrians who were not using
the street crossing. The. guard
said that most of them apologized
and declared they did not realize
the danger. '
"We have 85 posts," said Col
onel Decrow. "If 155 persons were
stopped by each guard every two
hours the result would be that 13,
175 persons put themselves into un
necessary danger every two hours
of the day. If we stop the 'jay
walking the number of accidents
will decreait"
