Is ASTRID MAY HOLD Belgian Tolerance Makes No Change Necessary \Brussels, Nov. 1.—{(/=-There is no state religion in Belgium, the Bel- glum constitution recognizes all de- nominations, granting them equal treedom. Thus although Prince Leo- pold is a_Catholie and Princess Astrid a Protestant, the bride will not have to renounce her religion to become a Princess of Belgium and its future queen in marrying the young man of her choice. Following the precedent created by ‘the marriage of.Leopold the First, a Lutheran, ® to the Catholic daughter of King Louls Philippe of France, the wedding will be a mix- ed one, in accordance with the rules of hoth the Catholic and Protestant churches. When the present Queen of Spain, then Princess Victoria Fna of Bat- tenberg, was betrothed to King Al- fonso XIIT, it was decided that she should emrace the Catholic religion The Archbishop of Westminster per- sonally undertook the task of teach- ing the young princess the doctrines of the Catholic chugch. The princess made rapid progress and within two weeks the archbishop informed her uncle, King Edward, that she had mastered the most fundamental dog- mas. ; King Edward gave a dinner in her hoénor. “I understand you are rather -a great Catholic scholar,” the king told the princess In the course of th rell us what you know The young princess replied with all evidence of earnestnc “There are only two main differ- ences between the Catholic religion and ours. One concerns the Virgin Mary, Who I am_ perfectly prepared to recognize as immaculate. The other refers td the visible head of the churches. T am sire that saintly old man in Rome (Pope Leo XIII) is just as qualified to be the head of the church as you are, uncle.” This ended King Edward's ex- amination on religious matters. The civil marriage of the prince and princess will be performed in Stockhdlm on Thursday by the sc- cialist mayor, Carl Lindhagen. On November 10 the Catholic and Pro- testant services will be held in Brus- | sels. ALIBI DEFENSES INN. J. MURDER Hrs. Hall and'Stevens Say They Were Not in Somerville omerville, N.

All the defendants spent an un- troubled day yesterday in the opin- ion of Mrs. Henry Stevens, who vis- ited her husband for several hours Willie she said, while her husband hunting and fishing stories.

Mr. Simpson Is confident that a jury can be obtained within an hour on Wednesday. The panel of 60 talesmen has been reduced to 29. Mr: Simpson claims to have a affi- |davit that Ralph V. M. Gorsline, who | was a vestry man in the slain clergy- man's church, told a private detec- |tive that he saw Henry Stevens at the scene of the crime, and Stevens fired two shots at Gorsline's feet.
