VALIDITY OF
DIVORCE DEGREES
u. S, Supreme Court Hands Down
important Decision
ALL DEPENDS ON RESIDENCE
IL Must be Bona Eide 90 Valid in One
State, Valid In All, ana Wee
Versa,

Washington, April l5--The United
States Supreme Court today decided
number Of cases involving the validity
In one State OF divorce DEGREES granted
in other States, The court held prac-
tlcally tina, in cases In which the de-
ciee is granted in States where the hus-
band and wife have made their legal
residence It is valid in any part Of the
United States but that in other cases
in which there Is no legal residence IN
the state IN which the decree is grant
ed they are invalid. The opinions We're
handed down boy Justice Gray and in
yoyed the cases Of Atherton VS. Ather-
ton, Bell vs. Bell and strellwolf VS. strel-
wolf.
In the Atherton case, the husband
obtained a decree Of divorce In the
state OF Kentucky where they had resid-
ed as husband and wife. after the wife
had left the husband and gone to the
home Of her parents in Clinton. n. Y.
In his opinion, Justice Gray called at
fact that Kentucky was the place Of
their marital residence and he also
brought out the fact that notices of the
husbands petition for divorce had been
forwarded 20 New York and that she
had made no response. The question
involved was, he said, whether the de-
cree was valid In New York. the ques-
ton having been raised by a counter
proceeding of the wife for divorce in
New York He concluded that owing
TO the fact OF the former residence in
Kentucky and the fact that due notice
had been given her. Mrs Atherton was
as much bound by the Kentucky decree
as n she had been present IN the court
when Il was granted. Hence the de-
Cision OF the New York supreme court,
i'm favor of the wife and against the
validity of the Kentucky decree, was
reversed.
The other two cases also came from
New York. In the Bell case the ques-
ton OF the validity Of a decree granted
to the husband In Pennsylvania was
raised, and In the Streilwolf case the
same question was raised concerning
a decree granted 20 the husband In
North Dakota. In both these cases the
DEGREES We're held to be invalid be-
cause neither the husband nor the wife
had been domiciled In the State In which
the divorce was granted In those cases
the findings OF the New York courts
were affirmed.
In the Atherton case, Justice Peck
ham dissented on the ground that the
husband had been himself responsible
for the wifes change Of residence.

been there before and handled his horse
chestnut with the skill Of the initiated.
Major Breedon had his first experience,
and acquitted himself with honors. His
planting was also of the horse chestnut

Mayor Thompson, several Councilmen
and the committee on arrangements
met at the Eagle Gate and proceeded
up the canyon. They got as far as
Third street and Canyon Road when
they were stopped by Douglas Swan
who petiu0ned the Mayor to consider
some ipi0yements for that neighbour
hood The city owns quite piece Of
land at he foot OF Third street ana
Mr.. Swan said that the people living
around there much desired that the
water should be piped for about $40
feet and the ground leyeled over and
trees planted, thus forming a fine little
park of that land He said that the
residents ia that neighboIhood would do
everything IN reason to assist the city
TO accomplish such an end MIR. swan
also said that the strip Of land, just
below the late Dr.. Parks estate, be-
tween State street. and Canyon Road,
through which the creek runs, belongs
to the city and that the logical en-
trance to the canyon Is from State
street ut that point he suggested that
roadway be built through that strip
and called attention to the fact that
hundl eds OF persons visit The canyon
every day during the summer.
The Mayor consented TO consider the
petition TO make park Of the city land
in that neighb0rhOud and said that he
would have the city engin er make
plans immC diately for such a park.
The drive was continued for little
way farther up the canyon when 1t
was discovered that the trees 10 be
planted had not yet been sent up from
Libctty Park. and IL was decided to 30
down there and plant sonic trees, The
drive was quickly made and some fine
young Boxelder and Ash trees were
taken from the city nursery in Liberty
Park to be replanted in another place.
Councilman Thomas wanted to know
Why the trees should not be put back
in the same holes By the city fathers
and as they began to carry them away
he q, accidentally got behind hedge and
between two councimen and called
attentIon TO the fact that greatness
was hedgei in
Finally the trees were got over to the
new grove, which is situated in the
northeastern corner of the junction
made by The two roads that pass at
RICH. angles through the center Of the
park Here they We're planted under

Mayor Thompson, Councilmen Hew-
lett, Canning and Thomas. County
Clerk James. Architect Kletting, Vice
President Allen OF the State Forestry
association, and the Tribune and the
News representatives each planted a
tree. The ceremony was attended with
much fun and after some time each one
pre- sent succeeded In selecting a posi-
ton foI his tree and getting a place
ready In which % plant Il.
After all was done 1t was found out
thar the city park keeper had gone to
the canyon himself with some trees,
but was late IN getting started, How
ever some OF the late arrivals among
the officials may have been there to
plant them.

The laudable enterprise Of the Hon,

day In the year for the planting of

and now almost national holiday
has a loyal supporter In the State Of
Utah. From the chief executive of the
state and all the State officials down
to the youngest school children
throughout the State,all delighted in the
participation of today's obseryances.
The banks in the city were closed all
day but the business houses did not
feel disposed to shut their doors, The
public schools were also in session,
while the board of education has al
lays encouraged the children in the
observance Of Arbor day. and endorsed
every effort TO instil into their minds a
proper appreciation Of the worthlness
Of the day, yet they felt that the
schools had already been disturbed too
much. outside of the city, however,
It is thought that the school children
are pretty generally carrying out the
especial functions Of the day.
Despite the fact that the business
houses were open, the city bore the
aspect of a holiday The streets were
devoid OF the goodly stream OF pedes-
TRANS that now characterlzes this
growing city, which Is a fair indication
that a material portion of the commu-
nifty remained home to plant trees.
Governor Wells and his official fami-
ly and the justices OF the Supreme
court, together with others, repaired
TO the capitol site and proceeded TO
plant trees. The city officials also
felt that 1t devolved upon them TO OBJ
serve the day, which they did in a
BETTING manner in Liberty Park The
faculty and students Of the State Uni
versity were also in full accord with
the day. The students turned out In
a large body together with their in
structors, and each class planted a
number Of trees So that in few
years hence the new campus viii be
covered with luXurlant shade.
