Warburton, jr., grandson of the late John Wanamaker, were divorced in Paris, Mr. Vanderbilt and his first wife have three children, William K. Van- derbilt, jr.; Mrs. Frederic Cameron Church, who was Muriel Vanderbilt, and Mrs. Earl E. T. Smith, nee Con- suelo Vanderbilt.

Warburton, 34, § years old, and Rose, one year older. Warburton Wedding Recalled. PHILADELPHIA, September 5 (). —Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton of Phila- delphia, who was married in Paris_to- day to William K. Vanderbilt of New York, formerly was Rosamond Lan- caster of Worcester, Mass. She was married to Barclay H. Warburton, jr., grandson of the late John Wanamaker, at Elkton, Md., in December, 1919, and was granted a divorce in Paris July 7, 1926, on the grounds of desertion. The marriage at Elkton was the re- sult of a hurried decision to change their original plans and abandon the program of an elaborate wedding. The marriage of young Warburton and. the then Miss Lancaster by a Presbyterian minister was intended as a joke on their friends, who were expecting_a brilliant social function later in December or early in 1920. Three days after their return they were guests of honor at an *‘engage- ment party” given by Maj. and Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton, parents of the groom. Warburton and his bride gave no inkling of the fact that the “‘engagement party” was a trifle belated. It was not until the eve of their departure for France on December 5. —~Willlam K. | {contrast with those usualy associated | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¥, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1927." W. K.

VIRGINIANS MUST PAY Maryland Ruling Conflicts With 01d Dominion Official’s in Controvesy. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 5.—Despite the ruling of the attorney general of Virginia that residents of the State need not take out Maryland fishing licenses to fish above tidewater in the Potomas River, Robert H. Archer, assistant attorney general of Mary land, has advised Swepson Earle, ¢ servation commissioner, that Vir- ginians must take out non-resident licenses. Mr. Archer made his ruling at Mr. Earle’s request, following a o troversy between Maryland and V ginia_officlals over the scope of the Maryland act of 1927, which requires anglers to obtain licenses to fish in non-tldal waters with hook and line. The license fee was set at $1 for residents of Maryland and $5 for non- residents. In a letter to Mr. Earle, the attor- ney general of Virginia contended that the act did not apply to residents of Virginia fishing in the Potomac River for the reason that ths act was not concurred in by .the Legislature of Virginia. Therefore, he asserted, while all other persons, including both resi- dents and non-residents of Maryland, must pay a license fee to fish in the waters of the Potomac above a point where the tide ebbs and flows, the citizens of Virginia, and probably the citizens of West Virginia, could fish in those waters without obtaining any license at all, although the Potom: lles wholly within the State of Ma land.

Correspondence of the Assoctated Press. PARIS.—Juvenile criminality in France is decreasing. Statistics show there have been only three-fifths as many cases as during the few years just after the war. Juvenile courts began to operate in France a few months before the war, though they were not at their best during the five years of battle. The average number of criminal trials of minors was about 24,000 a year before the courts were created. After the war the number passed 30,000. Now they run about 18,000. The contrast with the pre-war statistics, say investigators, is even more marked because police officials in the old days often let minors go with lectures because they knew jus- tice was hard. Now minors go to court because the police rely upon juvenile courts to use discretion, which the law gives them Cotton can be kept for nearly half a century without appreciable dete- on Repair Parts Hot Water Boilers Fries, Beall & Sharp 734 10th St. NW.
