EIGHTEEN HUSBANDS AND

ErrOc Made, However. as to
Date That New Law Goes
Into Effect.

scramble on the part of the unhappiiy
mated persons for membership IN thf
divorce colony, before the law requir
ing divorces to wait u year before re
marrvinp becomes effective, have been
entirely unnecessary, for the new di
vorce law doesn I 60 into effect Mon
day, as has been generally understood
but will become effective May 2l, two
weeks hence.
The misunderstanding as to when
the law requiring Divorces 10 walt
year before marrying goes into etect
arose through the passage of another
law relating to divorce by the recent
legislature. This law, which cuts out
referees in divorce cases. and not inc
other law, becomes effective Monday.
The law prohibiting divorces from
remarrying before year was intro
duced by Carl A. Badger in the senate
on February 3. 1t passed the senate
March 2 and the house March IL. aud
was approved by the governor March
90. This gives until May Il for 1t to
become effective.
This bill provides for the entering OF
au interlocutory decree, to become ap-
solute in six months, and SIX months
more must elapse before either party
tn divorce may remarry, unless the
Divorces desires to remarry each
other.
Owing to the misunderstanding as
10 when this bill becomes effective,
mismated persons who wish to be free
10 remarry again without having to
wait a year have been stampeding the
divorce court. Since March /. at which
time it became pretty generally under
stood that the bill would pass, l0A per-
sons-twenty men and elghty"four
women-have made application to the
third district court for divorces, and
niuety.five women and eighteen men
l3 in all-have been admitted to mem-
bership in the local divorce colony. Sew"
cral of these cases have gone to
referees, which proved decidedly profit
able for some of the deputy county
clerks, besides insuring the applicants
desirable privacy, but this will be
barred after Monday,
Following is a complete list OF the
divorces granted In the third district
court since March l:
