he averaged 30 miles & day. The $1,600 to $1,800 he earned each year as “paper bay” defrayed most PERNE of the expenses of his education. o~ He has accepted an asdistant ¥ professorship of jurisprudence at i William and Mary college, Wil lamsburg, Va. e ™ IOWA GIRL OF 15 Elkion, Md., July 1 UP—The Rev. Richard T. Westren, under fire by Methodist Episcopal church authori- ties by whom he was unfrocked six years ago, for his activities as *“mar- rying parson,” was free upon his own recognizance today after ap- pearing before a police magistrate late yesterday to answer a warrant charging illegal performance of marriage ceremonies. Magistrate Scotten said Mr. West- ren would be given a hearing some time next week, and the state's at- torney said he probably would be . held for grand jury action in Sep- tember. The offense carries the penalty of a $500 fine. The warrant, sworn out by State's Attorney Henry L. Constable after a : conference with State Attorney Gen- eral Thomas H. Robinson, charged that Mr. Westren was “not author- ized by the lay of the state of Mary- | ¥and to celebrate the rite of mar- ! riage and that he did celebrate the i rite of marriage between Allen * Dickerson and Claire McCall, resi-| dents of Cecil county, on October | 22, 1924 Replying to the charge, Westren * admitted having been dismissed by the Wilmington conference of the church in 1921. He was not pe forming marriages as a Methodis Hpiscopal clergyman, he said, but as a “minister of the gospel.” He : asserted that he was performing all the functions of such a minister, ' also conducting burial services, and, | for the past two years acting as as- ' sistant pastor of the church of the Nazarenes, at North East, Md., sev- eral miles from here, The Rev. Mr. Westren also pro- duced the ordination certificate re- ceived from the Iowa conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in 1908, but which was cancelled after , his conviction by a jury of clergy- . men of “commercializing the solemn office of matrimony.” - It was said today that the number | of marriages whose legal status has | :been cast into doubt by Mr. West- | ren's unfrocking total nearer 1,000 _than the previously estimated 500. RUSSIANBRITISH UNONS TO BREAK, All Relations Are to Be Severed Shortly London, July 1 (®—AIll relations between the trade unjon movements of Great Britain and Russia, the la- bor correspondent of the Westmin- stér Gazette learns, will cease with- in“a few weeks. This, ke says, will | follow upon the publication of what | is described as an ‘“impertinent document” from the'all-red trade union congress severely censuring the attitude of the general council | of the trade union congress of Great Britain in connection with the sever- ance of Anglo-Russian relations. The newspaper describes the - manifesto as blaming the trade union congress for ending the mine stoppage, denouncing exclusion of communists from the labor party, | suggesting that the trade union con- } gress worked for the break in Anglo- | Seviet relations and appearing to the British proletariat over the head ' of the trade union congress for di- rect action against the British gov- ernment. | The correspondent understands| that the trade union congress re- ards the manifesto as a definite and | deliberate breach of the agreement existing between the two branches of | the Anglo-Russian trade union com- mittee. * Flood Losses Heavy On Muskrat Farms | Advices reaching the Depart- Bethel’s Injunction bury.

S. in London Show Elkader, Towa, July 1 CP—A girl from Iowa 'and a girl from England will match thelr knowledge of dairy cattle at the Royal Livestock Show in London this month. The Iowa girl is 16 year old Ger- trude Kaiser, first of her sex ever to represent the United States in an international llvestock judging con- test. Her English adversary is like- wise the first girl to win a place on England's team. . Gertrude, her cousin Lloyd, and Kenneth Walter make up the Clay- ton county judging team which won the national junior judging contest at Detroit last fall and the right to compete in the international event.

She won two ounty fair prizes in 1920 with a Shorthorn heifer that she raised, and turned to dairy cattle in the next year to bring up a Guernsey calf which is still winning trophies for its mistress. Another Guernsey heifer won for her at the Dalry Cattle Congress in 1923.
