.STAGNATION IN DISTRICT
COURT RELIEVED
Many Divorce Suits Affected by Decision in Case
of Andrews VS.. Andrews

The work OF the Supreme Court Of the
District is moving along rapidly and
satisfactorily This is particularly no
fceabIe in the equity branch of the
court where. since the early part Of
last summer until a week or two ago.
Justice Hagner has been attending to all
the business in that division of the
court. The assignment Of Justice Gould
TO Equity Division No has greatly
relieved the situation. and the dockers
of that branch of the court are now to
be rapidly cleared.
All proceedings for divorce are consid-
cred by the justices presiding In the
equity division Of the court. For nearly
d year ali litigation in these cases was
practically suspended, principally be
cause of the provisions of the code
which went into effect on January 1,
1902. and in the latter part OF the past
year. because of the vacancy on the
bench of the District court.
Since the appointment Of Mr.. Gould to
the bench. the quickening in the consid-
Grafton OF all matters in connection with
proceedings for divorce has been very
noticeable. Justice Hagner has been re-
Heved of the great amount of work which
devoIved upon him while he was the
only one of the members of the local
bench assigned to equity business. Now
he can divide his attention between the
great number Of proceedings for divorce
which have been pending for long
time and the other equity business de-
mandIng consideration
There are several hundred petitions
for divorce pending in the local court
which will be considered by Justices
Gould and Hagner within the next two
OF three months. Most of these suits
are uncontested. This, however, does
not necessarily signify that the Deti-
tions for separation viii be granted.

validity of DEGREES of divorce secured

Supreme Court of the United States
held that where q person goes TO a

curing a residence by a stay Of six
months. a decree Of divorce granted IN
der such circumstances IS not valid.
There are several suits for divorce
pending in which DEGREES of divorce Sc

strength OF a residence OF six months
or a year in some Territory or State. is
questioned, and it IS expected that the
contests in these particular cases will
now be renewed with great yigOr. in
the Andrews case the Supreme Court
Of the United States held that the de-
cree Of divorce granted was not legal.
because the complainant had secured the
decree on the strength Of a residence
in South Dakota for a period OF six
months
Besides the question of divorce, there
are suits pending in the District courts,
in which the validity Of DEGREES of sep

Notwithstanding the great amount Of
work on the equity, as well as the
