DIVORCE COMPLAINT
IS PUBLIC DOCUMENT
JUDGE LANGAN SAYS PUBLIC
HAS RIGHT TO KNOW CON-
TENTS, AND STOPS PRACTICE
IN HIS JURISDICTION.

What is confidently believed to be
the first blow in a campaign that will
result in the doom of that prolific
source of complaint, the sealed di
vorce complaint was vigorously
struck recently by District Judge
Frank p. Langan when, with a word,
he nipped the evil in the distict court
at Carson.
divorce complaints should not be
sealed" said Judge Langan to the
county clerk, Ed. Patterson, the no.
ment he noticed the first appearance
of the practice in the county seat of
Ormsby. "A divorce complaint is a
public document and the people are
entitled to known what the COM
plant contains" added Judge Lam
gan, after he had given out his de-
eision to the clerk.
Judge Langan was interviewed
later with reference to his action.
Il did not make a formal order to
that effect" said Judge Langan.
THE matter arose in this way:
81 happened to be in the office of
County Clerk Patterson some time
ago." said the judge, '.and | noticed
a sealed complaint on his desk. I
inquired and found that il was a
complaint in a divorce proceeding
and / told the county clerk that such
complaints should not be sealed UNI
less in special cases upon application
and special order from the court.
This was the first time the matter
had come to my attention in my dis
trict. The practice has never been
begun in Storey county, and | be-
lieve this was the first time it hap
pened in Ormsby county. The clerk
was not to blame. He just granted
the request, but | could see no rea-
son why the documents should be
sealed and so expressed myself
Asked whether the clerk would be
likely to disregard the direction In
the absence of a formal order. Judge
Langan replied:
81 don't think he will. If he does
he will be apt to hear from me about
it,"
Judge Langan agreed that the Il
tom of sealing divorce complaints
was pernicious and a ready aid to
the operation of fraud, not only on
the court, but also on the defendant.

nation during the coronation period.
Mrs. Hammond wished to take her
family abroad with her and to re-
main in London for several weeks
after the coronation. Upon learning
of this Mr.. Burdette-Coutts placed
his home at her disposal. In a letter
offering the house to Mr.. Hammond,
Mr.. Burdett-Coutts stated that dur
ing a continuous ownership extend
ing oyer 10 years il has never been
let or lent, and that 1t would not now
have been offered to the representa-
tive of any other nation in the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond's resi-
dence in this historic mansion is in
itself a fortunate thing for the Am
erican nation. With her well known
hospitality Mrs. Hammond will ex-
tend a cordial welcome to all proper
ly accredited Americans who are in
London at this time. She will en-
terrain generously, although since
she herself is a guest of the English
nation her own entertainment will be
only semiformal in character, with
the exception of the dinners for GER
tain members of the official set. The
beautiful home of the late Baroness
Burdett-Coutts. with its rare furnish
ings and priceless curios, will lend a
historic background to all of Mrs.
Hammond's Inequalities such as no
other American woman in London
was ever privileged to enjoy, nj
Americas embassadress has for
months been formulating her plans
in order that she may fulfill credita-
bly, the expectations regarding her.
As the special representative of the
president of the United States Mr..
Hammond's position takes prece-
dence over that of Mr.. Reid, the
regular ambassador. which distinc-
ton, also includes their wives. Mrs.
Reds long residence in London,
however, in one way overbalances
this difference. According to rumors
from across the water, Mrs. Reds
coronation gown is to be of silver
embroidered satin in n of the new
shades of blue. With it she will wear
as jewels some magnificent combina-
tons of sapphires and diamonds.
Owing to Mrs. Reds return to
America before the ceremony, Mrs.
Choate was the only American en-
bassadress present at King Edwards
coronation, which was of course less
elaborate on account of its postpone
ment. Mrs. Choate's coronation gown
was of rich lace embroidered in
green. She wore a diamond tiara,
and in addition a pair of magnificent
diamond wings. These last served
as hair ornaments and were used to
hold the court veil in place instead
of the three feathers.

For Mechanical Purposes.

1t was a Prohibition campaign
The wet orator lapseG from the
altogether serious.
This provision that liquor may be
sold under the Prohibition act for
medicinal, scientific or mechanical
purposes reminds me of the old story
about the mar who went into a drug
store in a dry state and asked for a
gallon of whisky.
II can't sell you a gallon of whisky
unless you wantit for medicinal
scientific, or mechanical purposes,
said the druggist.
"All right. / want 1t for mechan-
ical purposes said the man with the

poses?'
THE customer pumped his money
