SAINTS UNFROCK MR. CARR

Mormon Who Married Davis and Miss Kelly to Be Tried.

Because he married Al Davis, the dancer, and Miss Eugenia Kelly, when the former had been divorced, the Rev. Henry Carr of Elk Mills, Md., a minister of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, an outgrowth of the Mormon Church, has been temporarily unfrocked. He will have an ecclesiastical trial probably within a month.

The action was taken at a conference of ministers at the home of Presiding Elder Ephraim A. Squire in Brooklyn Saturday night. The Rev. Mr. Carr explained that he had married the couple under a misapprehension.

One of the other ministers said the Rev. Mr. Carr erred, even if he was under the impression that Davis had been innocent in a divorce suit. He said that the Reorganized Church forbids the remarriage of any divorced person.
