Merger Horizon Continues ‘ To Remain Dull But Rail Executives Still Hopeful NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Approv- al given by the imterstate com- merce commission to the proposal of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to buy the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient seems to be the one bright spot on the dull horizon of railroad mergers. Railroad executives have ex- pressed themselves as being hope- ful, now that the commission has made its first favorable decision on a consolidation proposal, that other similar plans may be car- ried through to completion. They believe, however, that congression. al action will be necessary to rid the commission of the burden im- posed upon it by the transportation act plan for railroad WI‘I- »unu,mrnltntmtht 28 of| eptance speech. 4 AP e e marriad Wives Le al Sancuon PARIS, Sept. 29.—The mar- riage ceremony has taken on new importance in the French courts since the ruling by the Council of State against the right of un- married wives to collect damages for the accidental death of their common law husbands, The lower courts have fre- quently recognized the claims of such women. There are so many househelds in France where the marriage ceremony has been omitted yet which are regarded as honorable that many courts have held that there was a moral marriage, if not a’legal one. The decision_of«the Council of State has reversed this doctrine.
