Washington, Dec. 14.—President
Hoover had 16 communists released
from jail Saturday after their arrest
during a demonstration in front of tV*
White House, taking the position that
they should be “sent their parents’’
instead of granting them the favor
.of. cheap martyrdom.
His action introduced something £
new into the handling of sad spas- X
modic demonstrations which occur in y
front of the White House, the capitol %
and foreign embassies. There have £
been numbers of such in recent years, X
especially after questions in connec- y
lion with foreign policies had been £
given unusual attention. These in-
variably have been orderly, as was the j
one Saturday, but heretofore those |
I arrested in front of the White House
j have generally been required to post j
bond tor their release. j

they will make their future home. That the plaintiff and defendant
were lawfully married in Damp Coun-
ty, Texas, about October 15th, 1921,
and continued to live together until
about July 15th, 1929, and since that
time have not lived together as hus-
