WOULD STOP DIVORCE
Novel Bill Which Has Been Introduced
in the Georgia Legislature,

Novel Bill which Has Been introduced
in the Georgia Legislature,
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 12.-The shortest
bill of the Georgia legislative session,
one of the most unmistakable in mean
ing, and one which has aroused great
interest, is that introduced by Repre-
sentative Thomas Of Pierce county,
which, if it becomes a law, will abso-
lutely wipe all divorce laws off Geor-
gia statute books. The bill in full is as
follows:
''Be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, Of Georgia, and it is hereby enact
ed by the authority of the same, that
from and after the passing of this act,
there shall be no more divorce cases in
Georgia for any cause.
''Be it further enacted, that all laws
and parts of laws in conflict herewith
be and the same are hereby repealed"
Mr.. Thomas made no explanation
whatever of his bill. Under the rules
governing the legislature, debate will
be in order in the house when the bill
comes up for a third reading, when
there will undoubtedly be a lively dis
cussiOn over it's merits. 1t has now
been referred to the general judiciary
committee

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9,-The jury in
the case of James Callahan, after being
out thirty-siX hours, brought in a YER
dict at 10 p. m. yesterday finding the
defendant not guilty, and the prisoner

has been acquitted of the kidnapping
charge.
