MRS. SAUL DECREE
Judge Refuses to Annul Mar
riage—First Divorce
Was Contested.
Justice Oscar R. Luhring of District
Court today refused to annul the
marriage, July 12, 1927, of Bernard F.
Saul, son of the late head of the B.
F. Saul real estate lnvesement house,
and Mrs. Mary Harding Saul, which
the husband sought. The jurist held
that Mrs. Saul was entitled to a decree
granting her $350 monthly separate
maintainance and custody of their
8-year-old son, Bernard, Jr.
The case was tried last November,
the hearing lasting three weeks. Since
then, Justice Luhring has been con
sidering the voluminous evidence.
The couple was married in Rich
mond. Ind„ and lived together here
and in Ontario. Canada, until April
23, 1934, when they separated.
Shortly thereafter Saul filed suit
for annulment, claiming that Mrs.
Saul's prior marriage had not been
legally dissolved. She had married
her first husband, Herbert W. Gard
ner, October 30, 1917, in Nashville,
Term., and obtained an absolute di
vorce there July 9. 1927. Saul con
tended the decree was void because
neither party was a resident of Ten
nessee at the time.
During me lengtny trial Mrs. Saul
introduced evidence to show that she
and her first husband lived in Ten
nessee until he enlisted in the Army
during the World War. After the
conflict, he returned to Tennessee and
they lived there for a short wgiile,
later moving to Washington, where
the first husband obtained employ
ment in the Government. They lived
here eight years, but frequently vis
ited Tennessee and maintained a legal
residence there, the evidence indi
cated, Justice Luhring stated. The
justice said he was convinced Mrs.
Saul and her first husband had no
intention of abandoning Tennessee as
their domicile and that the divorce
obtained there was valid.
Mrs. Saul, who lives here at the
Westchester Apartments, was repre
sented by Attorneys Alvin L. New
myer and David G. Bress.

BURLESQUE ATTACK
HERE IS DELAYED
Federation of Churches Agrees
to Request to Withheld
Campaign.
The Washington Federation of
Churches will withhold its threatened
attack on burlesque in Washington
until convinced that the theater man
agement will not ‘‘clean house
voluntarily.”
This assurance was giver* yesterday
by Wilbur La Rose, jr., chairman of the
federation’s Civic Affairs Committee,
in reply to a request by Arthur R.
John of Washington, president of the
Burlesque Critics’ Association of
America, that ‘‘action be held in
abeyance."
La Roe wrote: "The evil is not con
fined by any means to the burlesque.
The same kind of rottenness appears
altogether too frequently in vaudeville
acts and in other performances.
"We Join heartily in your statement
that it is possible to develop in
burlesque a type of entertainment
suitable for both sexes and all ages.
“We shall comply with your request
and refrain from making any repre
sentations for the time being. We are
glad the industry appreciates the need
for voluntary improvement. But it is
only fair to say that if the improve
ment is not forthcoming, we shall not
lag behind New York in finding a
remedy.”
La Roe said the evil to which his
organization objected in burlesque is
not “confined to so-called strip
teasing, which makes such interesting
publicity.”
Barrel Is Mouse Trap.
ELMDALE, Minn. ifP).—A gunny
sack thrown carelessly over the edge
of a metal barrel turned the barrel
into an effective mouse trap.
Children found it almost full of
mice, unable to escape. A cat got
some. Men later summoned by the
children killed 129
