BIGAMY RIFE
IN ENGLAND
' SINCE WAR
LONDON, Aug. 20 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Increase in
bigamous marriages throughout the
United Kingdom, much more pro
nounced since the end of the war, is
causing grave concern, and there is
a growing disposition to treat bigamy
as a venial offense.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, is credited with the state
ment that English marriage laws af
ford less security against bigamy
than the laws of almost any other civ
ilized state. His department has
prepared proposals for their amend
ment, but nothing has been done to
carry them into effect. A new act
of parliament is necessary, and Sir
Bernard suggests as a preliminary
that some plan be outlined by which
accurate information concerning the
principals in a proposed marriage
may be obtained by the competent au
thorities before the ceremony can be
performed.
For marriage by license in England
it is required that both parties make
solemn declaration that they know of
no impediment to their unian, that
they have resided for fifteen days in
the district, and, if they are minors,
the consent of guardian or parents
has been obtained. But no solemn de
claration is required for such mate
rial particulars as name, condi
tion as to marriage, age, rank and
residence.
MEXICAN GOVERNOR
WILL BE REMOVED
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 21 (by mail).
_By a four to one majority the Mex
ican senate lias asked President Car
ranza to submit the names of three
men from which the senate may
choose a new provisional governor of
Tamaulipas. This section, according
to senate leaders, will end the so
called Osuna case.
Professor Andres Osuna, named
provisional governor of Tamaulipas
about a year ago, recently was ac
cused of failure to call elections and
has been fighting removal on the
ground that the accususations were
part of a political plot against him.
