Government Purposes Pro tecting Them aud Will Pay No Attention to Pope. Pari,, Dec. 13.—Masses are being said in all Catholic churches today, without Interference by the authori ties, but representatives of the police are present to obtain the names of the officiating priests, and these will later be summoned before the prefecture to explain why they conducted services without legal authority. In numbers of chuYches throughout the republic laymen have made appli cation for authority to continue wor ship In the churches which they attend, and these will not be Interfered with. Won’t Recognize Vatieen. The Vatican had forbidden laymen from making these applications, and will undoubtedly disavow the action of the laymen, but the Government will pay no attention to the Vatican, con sidering It a “foreign power,” and de clares, It will not allow outside Inter ference. Both sides arc extremely anxious to win public favor, and the government will only resort to extrema measures, except when absolutely defied by the Catholics. A large mass of letters and MARRIED HER UNCLE; NOW GIRL WIFE ASKS COURT FOR DIVORCE Cajoled Into eloping with her father's brother when only a child of 13 years, living with him ten years and then be ing made his wife—that la the startling allegation made by Lela Knight In a petition for divorce filed Thursday In the superior court. A stranger tale than that told by this young woman In her petition for a divorce from her uncle and husband was never written In fiction. For ten long years did this niece, ac cording to her petition, remain away from the home of her father with that father's brother under threat of death, and then, over a year ago, she wae married to this same uncle In Clayton county. After all this experience, she now wante the courts to dissolve the un natural and unlawful bond. This husband and uncle Is alleged to be a. E. Knight and the petition de clares that when Lela was a child of 13 years he came to her father's house to live. She says further that aoon after coming he began making ad vances to her. Tales of love and af fection were whispered Into her youth ful and innocent ears by this uncle, she states. The result of these advances was that she consented to fly with her uncle from the home of her father—her uncle's brother—her future brother-in- law. She did this, she aaye, under threats of death should she refuse and when once away she feared the wrath of her father and could not return. For ten years she remained away, she says In her petition, and then In the latter part of 1905 her uncle took her to Jonesboro, in Clayton county, and procured a marriage license and made his niece—hie brother's daughter—his wife. And according to this divorce petition the marriage ceremony only came about as the result of talk on the part of neighbors, since that time this niece and wife says she lived with her uncle as hie wife until September. 1906, when she wae compelled to leave him because of his habitual Intoxication and threats. She now wante a divorce on the grounds that the marriage was be tween peraons of a prohibitive degree of consanguinity and that It is there fore null and void. Lamar Hill la her attorney.
