System Is Opposed

The campaign is to be renewed with
Many notable men and women who op-
pose the system which makes divorce
merely matter of spending a vacation
in town famous for its climate and
residential attraction, will make per-
sonal appeals to the legislators TO re-
move the stain from the name of this
state
The New York newspapers are daily
in receipt of letters urging the inaugu-
ration of national congress to put an
end for all time to the system which
the people of the state have tolerated
for years.
Reno is the divorce e~eenter. and 95 per
cent of the litigation of that character
is tried there. In order to determine
the views of the men who represent the
little state in congress a correspondent
in Washington asked them if they fa-
vored the proposed change in the pres
ent law from six months to one year.
News to Senators
Senator Nixon would not express any
opinion.
The matter must be determined by
the legislature" he said, "and not by
outsiders. 1 do not think United
States senator should interfere in the
work of the legislature"
Senator Newlands said: "I was not
aware that the subject was under con-
sideration by the people of Nevada"
Representative Bartlett had this to
say:
The state of Nevada admits a man
to citizenship after he has lived six
months in the state. 1t is logical
therefore that it should permit any
citizen. man or woman, after six
months residence there, to sue for di-
vorce 1 favor divorce as much as /
do marriage"
Judge Orr practically repudiated the
six months residence provision in the
present law by deciding that both par
ties to the action must reside in the
state for period of six months. Since
that decision the output of divorces has
appreciably fallen off.

will occur an incident similar to the

GOING To JAPAN
FOR BUSINESS
Manager of Honolulu Iron Works
to Oppose Competition
From Europe.

Owing to complications arising over
possible contracts in Japan for sugar
mills for Formosa sugar estates, c.
Hedemann. manager of the Honolulu
Iron Works, departed yesterday on the
Nippon Maru for Yokohama, accom-
panied by Mrs. Hedemann.
The Honolulu Iron Works has already
supplied four mills and is engaged in
putting out the fifth, and more NAV be
added to the list if the complications
IRE Strengthened out. Mitsui & Co..
one Of the largest japanese firms in
the Empire. has under consideration a
few mills, but European manufacturers
have put in their oar and unless there
is a representative on the ground the
local concern may lose out.
The iron works have prided them
selves on the fine mills turned out. the
excellence of adjustment aud the surety
of their mills turning out the largest
percentage Of sugar, and against these
facts have to compete with mills con
structed al lower cost by competitors
The japanese have SO far been unable
to see why a European mill can be built
for a less price. considering that the
Honolulu Iron Works is much closer to
their country. Excellence and superior
workmanship and design and results
appear to be the least considered items
when it comes to price.
Mr. Hedemann. however, is of the
opinion that the Honolulu Iron Works
viii secure the contracts after all, for
the mills now being operated IN For
mosa speak for themselves.
