TANGLES UP PROPERTY
Supreme Court Decision Makes II.
legal 500 Divorces in Chicago.

1t is estimated by Chicago lawyers
that the decision of the supreme
court of the United States holding
illegal all divorces, except ..er, both
parties to the suit resided within the
same jurisdiction, will make illegal
500 divorces that have been granted
in that city alone, and pave the way
for all manner of complications in
the next generation over inheritance.
and the rights to property.
Several prominent attorneys de-
clare that the decision means chaos,
in regard to the title to personal
property. Complications will arise,
particularly in the cases where men
who married after obtaining di-
vOrces now held to be illegal. Prop
erty left by men so divorced and so
remarked must go to children of the
first marriage, and cannot be held by
children born of the subsequent mar
riage
