Changes Made.

Pierre, March Especial to The
Republicans The divorce measure
has passed the senate with a hole in
1T that Will let unfortunates who are
suffering from mental cruelty, inhu-
man treatment and mental incom-
patlbility and are willing to agree
TO separation. An amendment was
adopted providing that when the
cause of action originates in this
state the plaintiff may get relief in
SIX months. This is interpreted to
reach all cases where divorce is
sought by agreement, under the
causes named above. The bill will
reach the house today where it is
thought it will pass in it's present
form. Any attempt to strike out the
amendment will probably defeat the
measure, hence the opponents of a
divorce law have a double chance.
The house apportionment bill was

lose one each.
The senate resolved itself into a
debating club at opening of the aft
ernoon session and continued hat
position for the session, killing the
bill to repay North Carolina the
money secured on the Shaffer bonds;
placing the divorce bill on the cal
endar and passing the a~nti-discrim-
~ination bill. The North Carolina bill
had right of way on adverse commit
tee report and the report was OPP
posed by Dillon in a speech of nearly
an hour. Bryne, Goodner and Lin
coin opposed the return of the money
and the adverse committee report
was adopted by a vote of 25 to 16,
which kills the bill.
