MORSCHAUSER
WOULD ABOLISH
.\‘ICVV YORK. March 26.—Com-
plete abolition of divorce is urged by
Supreme‘Court Justice Morschauser,
who presided over the Stillman case
in an article in the April number of
Columbia. official organ of the
knights of Columlus. made today.
Declaring that he believed the ab-
olition of divorce sho d be brought
about. by congrcsiion legislation he
added.
"liut that. is a. long way ahead be-
cause. there are. unfortunately so
many middle aged and elderly men."
and some young ones who for
reason or another want new wives.
"llct one great pracitcal step which
should be taken immediately is the
passage of legislation making decrees
obtained in paris or elsewhere in
liurope invalid. It is all wrong to let
a rich man or woman off to Paris to
get divorces. “'9 should not allow a
coadltion to exist whlch permits
wraithy Americans to escape from
the operation of Anniican laws."
Immorality of both men and women,
Justice Morschauser lmlicvts. should
punished by criminal prosecution
and that “a man guilty of immorality
should receive the same eondvm‘lmtion
from the law and from 50ciety as is
woman."
Publicity he said. was instrumental
in arousing public anticipathy to ex-
isting divorce conditions.
"l’llhllf‘ltv has a wholesome effect"
In'
the article continues.
"I would have every divorce case
tried in the open. lli\orce is not ill.
disgrace that it should b». hilt the di-
vorced man and 1.310 divorced womEh
are marked."
The Stillman Judge. however. he
writes. "I would not tie a woman to
a. dirty loafer. I would allow annull-
mcnt. I would not change our present.
laws in this stage on that score.

* EXPOSITION
CROWD WAS BIG
ONE SATURDAY
The Fashion Exposition which has
been held at the Nor-walk armory for
the past week under the auspices of
Battery C officially closed last night
with a. concert presented by the Vin-
cent Lopcz orchestra of the Hotel
Pennsylvania. A. disappointing crowd
attended the affair; the audience con-
sisting of less than one hundred peo-
ple. In spite of the attendance. Lopes
orchestra presented a splendid pro-
gram of orchestra and individual
numbers. both classical and popular.
all of which were appreciated.
To make'ip for the slim attendance
last night. the armory was packed to
the doors Saturday night. The new
fashion dispay of the Ideal and Bon
Ton Shops and the millinery shop of.
Miss Kate A. Polhemus again was a.
big attraction. The vaudeville num-
bers again made a big hit.
Taken as a whole the Fashion Ex-
position was one of the most, enter-
prising affairs of this kind ever staged
in Norwalk and Battery C deserves the
hearticst of congratulations upon the
success of the venture. Exhibitors
were more than satisfied with the
manner in which it was arranged and
the public felt that it had a. rare
treat.

Constable Raynor Werme has con-
stituted himself a “One Man Traffic

ment in the downtown court this

ordinance. He parked his car in re-
stricted territory on North Main street

After he had been fined $3 in court
this morning by Judge George H. Yos-
burgh. he went to Chief of Police \‘i‘ll-
liam It. Pennington and protested that
all of the violators were not being ar-
rested.
As an officer of the law he, is en-
titled to make arrests and so he pro-l
cured a llanrifu of the tags that are
being used to inform violators that
they are wanted at police headquart-
ers. and this morning could be seen
roaming up and down North Main
street as well as “'ashington street. on
a still hunt for those who violated the
rules of the traffic ordinance.
The first "victim" to report at police
headquarters was \‘i’illiam Reishen-
back of Yonkers. who will come be-
fore the court tomorrow morning.
There were several other violators
who were tagged by Constable Vi'erme
but they had not reported at head-
quarters up to noon.
In the downtown court this morn-
ing fines of 53 were also given to Mrs.
Frances .\lillwood of “'eston. whose
car was parked on Saturday on \Vash-
ington street. and who said that she
did not know the ordinance; Edward
C. Bieke of Stamford who said that He

chase a suit and who parked on

MRS. MITCHELL

By Associated Press
PALM BEACH. Florida. March 26.,
——l\lrs. J. Krarsley Mitchell. wife of
the wealthy John Kearsley Mitchell.
identified as the mysterious "Mr.
Marshall" in the Dorothy Keenan
murder case in New York. left here
early today aboard a private car for
Philadelphia. to join her husband.
She was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
E. T. Stotcsbury, of Philadelphia. her
parents. v
In a statement to the Associated
Press last night. Mr. Stotcsbury de-
elarcd his faith in his son-in-law was
not shaken by his alleged connection
with the Keenan girl.
Mrs. Mitchell asserted that she and
her ,husband “are the best of chums"
and said she knew that he “could not]
have been unfaithful" to her. '
NE\V YORK. March BIL—An ex-
pensive dress and hat listed among
the articles stolen from the apartment
of Dorothy Keenan. slain model. were
found by Detectives today at the
home of Mrs. Anna. Keenan. the dead
girl's mother.
Detectives who discovered the gar-
ments during an interview with Mrs.
Keenan. said the Broadway butterfly's
mother at first seemed surprised. but
quickly explained that she had gather-
ed together some of Miss Keenan's
effects when she went to her apart;
ment after Dorothy had been slain,
and that the last costume the model
wore before’ she met death had been
among them.
In her agitation over Dorothy's
death. they quoted Mrs. Keenan as
saying. she had forgotten fl) tell the
police she had these long sought gar-
ments. I
Inspector Cougtfiin was keenly in-
terested in the find because of infor-
mation given him by Ella. (Billie)
Bradford. Miss Keenan's maid. that.
with the gray costume just discovered.
the model had carried a beaded bag'
containing a. letter written her from
Palm Beach by John K. Mitchell.
wealthy Philadelphian, who had paid
her attentions.
The police have been working for
several days on a theory that Miss
Keenan was slain by a blackmailer;
who knew of her friendship for
Mitchell and knew that she had re-
ceived a letter from him.
Admission that he had written the
model from Palm Beach was made by
Mr. Mitchell Saturday. a. few hours
after he had been disclosed the
mysterious “Mr. Marshall." w ose
identity is so closely guarded for nine
days.
"Billie" Bradford has told the police'
she saw Miss Keenan put the Mitchell
letter in her handbag the day before
her body was found.
