By the Assoclated Press. MEXICO CITY, February 5.—Thou~ sands of Mexicans and foreigners who were married in Mexico during the five- year period beginning in 1913 Sunday found themselves in a perplexing situa- tion as the result of the decision of the Supreme Court Saturday declaring such marriages invalid. The decision has created a sensation here. It was based on a decree by the late President Carranza declaring all civil acts under the governments of Vic- toriano Huerta, Emiliano Zapata and the so-called conventionist governments illegal because these governments were ué\wnstltuuonal. The court upheld this edict. Mrs. Julian Rosledo had appealed to the Supreme Court from a decision of the court of Merida, Yucatan, annuling her marriage in 1913, when Huerta was President. The Carranza decree also | declared invalid marriage contracted in the States of Oaxaca and Yucatan un- der neutral governments during the ! period in which Huerta and Zapata and the conventionists held sway here, Early Spring land Wear Dinner and HIRTEEN of Henderson Furniture An unusual event, with unusual savings on Furniture of the type that ONE-FIFTH OFF All covered Davenports and Chairs to match ONE-FOURTH OFF All genuine Walnut Tea Wagons ONE-HALF OFF s rarely reduced Mahogany or A number of discontinued Bedroom Suites for quick disposal ONE-FOURTH TO ONE-HALF OFF All Lamps and Shades A few Dining Room Suites at Temftingly Low Prices .
