MARRIAGES AT SEA
VIOLATE BOTH THE SPIRIT AND
THE LETTER OF THE LAW
ARE BLOTS ON CIVILIZATION
Supreme Court Knocks Them Out in
Deciding the Case of Norman
Against Thomson
There wIM probably be another scramble
to straighten up matters ln many families
of Southern California as a result of the
announcement that the supreme court ha.
declared sea marriages to be Invalid unless
they are solemnized with due regard to the
marriage laws of the state. The decision
is In a Los Angeles case, wherein Judge
Allen rendered an opinion which the highei
court has now affirmed. The lower court.=
Judgment of the matter created consterna
tion among those who have for years been
in full enjoyment of all the bliss of married
life on the strength Ot a ceremony per
formed on the high seas, and In many such
cases there were remarriages, or, rather,
legal ceremonies performed.
The case ln question was that of Homer
Norman, who, on August 2, 1897, having
barely come of age, took 15-year-old Jean
nette' Thomson, without consent of her pa
rents, on board a schooner at Long Beach,
where they were married by the captain on
the high seas.
After living together eight days, the girl
returned to her home at Downey, and the
husband sued out a writ of habeas corput
to. regain possession of her, at the same
time commencing acilon In the superior
court to have the marriage declared valid.
The matter was warmly contested, the girl
appearing as defendant through her father,
and Judge Allen declared the marriage in
valid.
The case was appealed by Norman, and
the following Is the meat of the supreme
court's decision, as written by Commis
sioner Chipman and concurred in by Jus-
tlcea McFarland, Temple and Henshaw:
"Plaintiff contends that the marriage is
valid because performed on the high seas,
and that it would have been valid If per
formed in this state, because there Is no law
expressly declaring it to be void. Defend
ant claims that no valid marriage can be
contracted ln this state except in compli
ance with the prescribed forms of the law
ot this state, and that citizens and residents
cannot go upon the high seas for the
avowed purpose of evading the law of this
state and contract a valid marriage. The
common law as to marriage is quoted by
the plaintiff as being in force on the high
seas on board American vessels.
"The law of the sea. as lt may relate
to the marriage of citizens of the United
States domiciled ln California, cannot be
referred to the common law of England.
We can find no law of congress, and none
has been pointed out by plaintiff, in which
the general government has undertaken or
assumed to legislate generally upon the.
subject of marriages at sea. Nor, Indeed.
c*n we lind ln the grant of powers to the
general government by the several states,
as expressed in the national constitution,
any provision by w Blch the congress is em
powered to declare what shall constitute a
valid marriage between citizens of the sev
eral states upon the sea, either within or
without the conventional three-mile limit
ot the shore of any state, and clearly does
no such power rest in congress to regulate
marriages on land, except ln the District
Cf Columbia and the territories. We must
look elsewhere than to the acts of congress
for the law governing the case ln hand.
Section 63 of the civil code provides that 'All
marriages without this state, which cou'd
be valid by th-i laws of the country ln which
the" same were con'.racted. are valid 1 in this
state.' The par:ies in the present case were
residents of thtd slate and went upon the
high seas to be married, with the avowed
purpose of evading our marriage laws.
They did not go to any other state or coun
try to be married. They went upon the
high seas, where no written law of which
we have any knowledge existed by which
marriage could be solemnlzeel. The rule,
therefore, that the law of the place must
govern does not operate, because there was
no law of the place.
"We And no case holding that
parties domiciled ln a state may, for the
avowed purpose of evading its laws, go
where no law exists and there consum
mate marriage ln violation of the laws of
their domicile, and Immediately return and
claim a valid marriage, ln all cases where
the statutes have been thus circumvented,
it was accomplished by a marriage valid
ln the place where celebrated. The Gretna
Green marriages of Scotland between cltl
sens of England, are notable examples and
they were upheld by ecclesiastical courts.
But these marriages were solemnized in
accordance with the laws of Scotland and
therefore had legal sanction; and so also
marriages ln this country of citizens of
one state going Into another to avoid some
disqualification prescribed ln the law cf
their domicile.
"It has been properly held that as mar
riage is a natural right of which no gov
ernment will allow its subjects, wherever
abiding, to be deprived, If the parties hap
pen to be sojourning ln a foreign country
and under the local law there is no way by
which they can enter Into valid marriage,
they can marry in their own forms and it
will be recognized at home as good. But
in the case before us the parties not only
went where there was no law authorizing
the marriage, but they went with the in
tention of Immediately returning to their
domicile where they supposed the law
would not admit of their marriage to en-
Joy the fruits of their contract There is,
we conceive, no ground of expediency,
Sound policy or good morals upon wJtich
the transaction can be given legal sanction.
"We think lt results from considerations
of reason and principle that unless It ap
pears that this marriage was consummated
under some recognized law the courts of
this state should not declare lt valid; and
we think the burden 4b upon the plaintiff
to show such a law, falling in which hie sul I
must fall.
"We are thus brought to the only re
maining question, "Was the marriage valid
tested by the laws of California?' If this
marriage can be upheld, it must be upon
the sole grounds that there was mutual
consent, solemnization by a sea captain
and subsequent cohabitation as husband
and wife for the space of eight days. There
was no license, there was no solemnization
by any person authorized by law to per
form the ceremony and there was no mar
riage by any peculiar mode of entering the
marriage relations as provided by some
jjartlcular religious denomination. To rec
ognise such a marriage, we think, would
grossly violate the spirit and letter of our
statute and be a blot on the civilisation we
f ro £ess. Our conclusion rests upon the
Stmt ojt aajr. suUwrlxed solemnisation and
would be the same if the parties were boil,
ot full age.
"We recommend that the Judgment ol
the lower court be arrirmed."
NOT YET SUBMITTED
Water Oases Will Not Oo to the Court
Until Today Noon
Tht excessive heat of the day and Juflge
Chapman's avoiraupois combined to cause
an early adjournment of court yesterday
afternoon, and as a consequence the argu
ment in the water cases will probably not
be completed until noon today. The exer
tion of rapid speaking and hia tendency
toward portliness gave Judge Chapman a
somewhat tired feeling, and he therefore
suggested that the cooler hours of the morn
ing be employed for the completion of their
work, so court will convene this morning
at 9 o'clock.
The day was employed exclusively by the
company. Senator White spevking in tht
morning and Judge Chapman in theaftei
noon. Their efforts were directed almot.
solely toward proving that the contrail
,vas not a lease, and that payment for tht
property should and must be made before
ihe company can be expected to surrende:
It. Senator White formally Introduced fur
ililng the application of the Los Ange-Ie-
City Water company lor an extension of IU
corporate existence. Attorney Scott there
upon asked the similar privilege of filing
the incorporation articles of the Consolida
ted City Water company. Counsel for tht
company had no objection to this, but
wanted it distinctly understood that noth
ing further than the filing*,% those articles
had ever taken place, as ln order to beccir..-.
effective they required the Investment o!
42500 ln "war tax" stamps.
The Consolidated City Water compan>
will therefore not assume the dignity of a
corporation until the price comes down.
BY IMPERIAL DECREE
Does Ferdinand Habl Claim a Bight to
Certain Money
Certain money. In amount said to be
about JIOOO, left by one Joseph Stohr, who
died ln the summer of 1898, hos been the
cause of a protracted litigation ln the
courts of Austria, and now becomes the
ground for contention in the. superior
court of Los Angeles county.
The case tiled yesterday is entitled Fer
dinand Habl against the German-American
Savings bank of Los Angeles and Public
Administrator Frank M. Kelsey. The
plaintiff alleges that ln the summer ol
1898 Joseph Stohr gave him aII right and
interest In certain deposits made by said
Stohr In the German-American Savings
bank, turning over the hank book and all
record of the deposits and such Wthdrawals
as were had. Subsequently Stohr died and
the court designated the public adminis
trator as the proper person to handle his
estate. He refused to recognize Habl's
claim to the money, and Stohr's family,
who were in Buchau, Austria, also contest
ed the validity of the gift. Habl thereupon
brought suit ln the imperial royal district
court of Buchau, was granted Judgment
and successfully sustained his case ln the
imperial royal supreme court of Bohemia,
apparently the court of final recourse ln
that country.
The latter decision was rendered in July
of last year and Habl now prays judgment
ln the superior court for $1000 and interest
from August 1, 1893.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Judgments of Lower Courts Affirmed
in Two Cases
ln the case of Henry P. Wilson against
the California bank the supreme court has
affirmed the judgment of the lower court-
The plaintiff sued to quiet title on a pece
ot iand secured by sheriff's deed. The bank
claimed title by right of a subsequent sher
iff's deed on the ground that certain docu
ments In the proceedings by which Wilson
secured his deed were not recorded. The
superior court held that plaintiff's title was
gooeS\ andi the supreme court now affirms
and denies the motion for a new trial. With
reterence to the statute bearing on unre
corded documents the court says: "That
section refers only to those holding from or
under the mortgagor, and a purchaser at a
sale for street assessment or tax is not
within that class."
In the case of the Peerless Glass company
against the Pacilic Crockery and Glass
company, a suit to collect a disputed ac
count, the supreme court also affirms. One
point ln this case is a claim by defendant
for "freight allowance of 74 cents." The
court held that this could not mean 74 cents
on the whole bill of goods, amounting to
several carloads, nor would it be reasonable
to consider it 74 cents per hundred pounds.
This wording, which appeared in a tele
gram claimed to be a contract, was there
fore adjudged to be no contract whatever,
and was not considered in the decision,
which is in the plaintiff's favor, excepting
as to damaged goods.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT
Officers Talamantes and Baker Charged
With a Seriou,s Offense
What was at first regarded as a Joke may
turn out to be a rather serious matter be
fore the parties concerned are through with
it. Those most interested ln the affair are
Special Officers Talatmantes and Baker,
and if the story told be true they certainly
have placed themselves ln a position where
they may soon have to take a dose of their
own medicine.
It is said that some time ago Talamantes
and Baker arrested two Mexicans out in
Ballona township and without the author
ity of a warrant or the issuance of a com
plaint brought them to jail. The men were
confined In prison for two or three days
without a charge being preferred against
them, and were then released without even
an explanation. Naturally such treatment
did net "go down" without leaving a bad
taste in the mouth, and the Mexicans began
to seek some means of redress. Their In
vestigations resulted yesterday In the ar
rest of the officers on the charge'of false
Imprisonment. The warrant was Issued
from Justice Bryant's court ln Ballona
township, and was served early yesterday
afternoon by Constable Slmonds, who final
ly decided not to take them Into custody
upon their promising to appear In Justice
Bryant's court this morning for arraign
ment.
What will come of the occurrence Is dif
ficult to predict.
THREE DIVORCE SUITS
Two Decrees Granted, More Testimony

Gertrude Slmms was yesterday granted
a divorce from her husband, Charles
Slmms, on the ground of desertion. The tes
timony developed that Slmms had formerly

j means sufficient to make then ormforts
