To large number Of well-known
New Workers the announcement of
the death at Reno, Nevada. the other
day, of Judge Pike, who united more
irksome matrimonial knots than
probably any other jurist in the
country, reopened many old wounds
and rekindled the smouldering en-
fers of hundreds of shattered domes-
tic romances. In the absence of the
statutory requirements exacted here
in divorce cases Reno has been
haven OF hope and comfort to Goth
ans mismated and misiointed cou-
Piles for score of years. The fact
that the courts of this state have
refused to recognize many of the de
crees granted by the deceased jurist
because of the patent collision ex
listing between the parties at issue
and the transparent fraud upon the
court in the matter of jurisdiction
it has never discouraged hap'ess
wives and husbands from making the
long pilgrimage across the country
to enlist the aid of Nevada's lenient
laws. However remiss the statutes
of that state may be, their interpre-
tation by Judge Pike made him MANY
staunch friends among this city's d.
! vorcees who rarely if ever appealed
to him in vain.
There was a pathetic note the other
day in the appeal of the Rev. Claude
| NJ. Severance, a former Congrega-
| tional minister, to United States
Judge Hand to provide him with
counsel when he is brought to trial
| for participation III the frauds al
legged to have been practiced upon the
public by a "get-rich-quick" concern
| with which he was connected. The
clergyman who was a missionary for
many years in Japan and served as
pastor of several churches in this
city told the court that he had not
enough money to employ a lawyer
on his own account and that he
would be forced to rely on the court
assigning one to defend him. 1t is
the general impression that the domi-
nee who was entirely without bust
ness experience was used by his as
sOciates to lure on the guileless and
| that in the character Of the enter
prise he was boosting he as well
as the public was deceived. The ar
rest Of the clergyman has served to
recall to mind the inroads made by
Mormon missionaries some years ago
in several of the uptown churches.
While he was pastor Of the Port
Morris Congregational Church the
missionaries who we're quite active
in that part of the city contrived to
ALLEVIATE the president and the secre-
tary of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety from their church work. The
president, married woman with
two children, actually joined the Nor
mon Church, while the secretary, an
attractive young woman, became a
regular attendant at their meetings.
but never formally. joined them. The
incident caused great commotion
among Gotham's church set, marking
as it did the first important conquest
made by the Mormons in their siege
on the local sects.
