DIVORCE LAWS ANTlQUATED SAYS
 GOVERNOR ODDIE

Richmond. Va, Dec. 5.-Four or five Atlantic states in which divorce laws are antiquated and correspond ingly harsh are largely responsible for the existence of the divorce col ony, according to Gov. Oddie, of Nevada. who addressed the gover- nors' conference, today, pleading for uniform marriage and divorce laws.
 Oddie urged that the states co operate on treatment of marriage and divorce in a sociological manner.
 "'It is high time," he asserted, that the courts put aside the musty pre- cedents which served absolutely diff ferent conditions in time immem orial. When the Nevada law was enacted 50 years ago, it is obvious that the au- thor of the act had no idea of com nercializing the dissolution of mar riage contracts in other states.
 Nevada does not want this divorce business. The result of the recent state elections shows how the people feel on the subject. I shall recom- mend to the next legislature that the residence section of the act be amended so that a bona fide residence of one year be required instead of the six months which now is in force"
 Gov. Oddie urged that new amend ments should include the requireme ent that a physicians certificate, showing physical fitness, accompany every ap- pIication for a marriage license and that such applications be published in advance of their granting.

 The imperial chancellor, Dr. won Bethmann- -Hollweg. in reply. defend ed the Bundesrath's decision as only This decision in effect holds that Ba- varia's recent course in modifying the severity of the enforcement of the imperial legisIa tion against the Jesuit chancellor declared that the Protest ants have always bitterly opposed the Jesuits, who also in the past have not been tolerated even in certain Catho- lie countries on account of their militant activity in politics, the church character and their opposition to the growth of the modern conception of the state"

ELUSIVE BURGLAR
 TOLLS PURSUERS

Canaan, Conn. Dec. 5.-A1though authorities worked all last night to capture Archie Golden, co1ored, who entered the store of F. R. Collin, no trace of him has been found. A tele- phone operator at the local exchange had her attention attracted by the sound of breaking glass and looking out saw Golden entering the jewelry store through the transom. She tele- phoned to two deputy sheriffs who secured other help and surrounded the store. While they were waiting Golden suddenly came out through the transom, landing on his hands and knees. Picking himself up he ran around a corner of the building, making in the direction of the Mas sachusetts state line and it is expect ed that he made it. Three of the men with the sheriff were coon hunt CTS and as Golden started to run one of them fired at him but missed.
