EIGHTY COUPLES UNDIV0RGED STILL
UNCONSCIOUS OF THEIR PILKIA

Of 100 divorces which were de,
clared null and void by Circuit Court
Judge Robinson last October, new pro-
ceedings have been taken only in forty
cases, so that fifty of the divorced
couples who thought themselves di-
vorced are still husbands and wives.
Judge Robinson made his order on Oct
ober %, following decision of the SUI
preme court, which held that divorces
granted in less than thirty days after
the fling of suits had been illegally
granted. The decision affected 100
cases, and Robinson made a formal
order enumerating them and declaring
the DEGREES of license of no effect.

The result has been quite a boom in
the divorce business, repetitions of for
ty of the old cases having been added
ito the usual crop of cases. A large
number of the suits in which the di-
vorces were found to be of no effect
were Japanese, but only four of the
Japanese couples have taken the trouble
to go into court again and get good
divorces. 1t is thought that many do
not understand the situation, wherefore
there may be many cases of uninten-
tional bigamy
The eighty cases in which no steps
have been taken to get real divorces
are mostly Japanese and Hawaiian,
with considerable percentage of Port,
