DIVORCE IS INVALID
NEW YORK HIGH COURT PASSES
ON A DEcREE-Nor BINDING
IN THAT STATE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
rom tn: Capitol CiAy, the Various
State institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Huron South Dakota attorneys and
laylnen as we'll are interested in a re-
cen case before the appellate division
Of the supreme court OF New York, in
which it is held that a South Dakota
divorce is Of no validity for any pur-
pose in New York. During the past
ten or fifteen years many divorces
have been issued in this state and a
large percentage of them to people
from the state Of New York. The Sioux
Falls divorce colony, undoubtedly the
largest in the state, was made up very
largely of eastern people, and a sur
prising number from New York city
and state visited that town, establish
ed a residence and departed a short
time after the six months We're up,
carrying with them the necessary
papers," What this will mean to
South Dakota's many divorces and d.
vorcees is difficult to say, but it looks
Is though some of them should worry.
The Ease in question is that of Ber-
ney VS.. Adriance. 142 New York sup
plement, 748, and an account of it is
given in the Northwestern Reporter
of September 10. The plaintiff and
his wife were married in Pennsylvania
in 1885,. moving from there to New
York. II 1902, it is reported. the plain
tiff voluntarily abandoned his wife
and two children, not contributing to
their support or attempting to bring
about a reconciliation.
Later the wife removed to South
Dakota, where she began divorce pro-
ceedings for an absolute decree on the
grounds OF desertion, INT upon substi-
.uted service ino personal service be-
ing made on her husband within that
iurisdiction) she secured such decree,
the husband not appearing. She soon
left for New York, going from there
10 New Jersey, where she was married
. the defendant in the action named
above. She and her husband after
wards removed to New York to re-
side, and her first husband brought an
action against her second husband for
criminal conversation. a verdict for
the plaintiff being returned in the sum
OF $4,000 damages.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, appellate division. The
Northwestern Reporter says of the
verdict. The court holds that de-
eadant's marriage to plaintiffs wife
is no defense, since the South Dakota
divorce is of 10 validity for any pur-
pose in New York. and this. even
though the courts of New Jersey
might recognize the decree as binding
apon a citizen OF that state under the
circumstances OF this case. As TO the
damages, the court holds that the YER
diet is excessive, emitting defendant

Dockage of Grain.

pierre.-Attorney General Johnson
holds that the provisions Of chapter
sos. of the laws of the last session, in
regard to weights and measures. may
rot be ignored in regard to dockage
OF grain for dirt. foul seed or like
mixtures, by agreement between the
buyer and seller. as it is a general
measure for public protection. But he
also holds thai this does not neces-
sarily apply to the difference in
weight Of corn when first harvested
aid later in the season, on account Of
the moisture conctained in the grain
when first picked. In such case he
takes the view that such difference
might be adjusted between the buyer
and seller.

Beautiful Book on Vermont At
fractions

"Vermont," the Land of Green Noun
tains," book of 20S pages, has just been
issued by the Vermont Publicity bureau.
1t is printed on high grade paper and
upon the embossed cover is the state
seal. There are many illustrations of
beautiful Vermont scenery, picturing the
attractions of every county in the state.
The first edition consists of 10000 copies
| The book is handsome and generally
accurate. 1t is a great credit to Secre-
tary of State Guy w. Bailey and to the
author of the text, Walter II. Crockett
of Montpelier.
The purpose of this book, first of all is
to attract tourists to Vermont ana having
densed form such information as visitors
might be expected to desire. The intro
duction or fOreword sets forth in gener-
al way the attractions of Vermont as a
tourist resort. Special emphasis is laid
upon the Green Mountains. The great
asset of New Hampshire as a tourist state
has been the White Mountains, but the
Green Mountains dominate the state of
Vermont to a far greater extent than the
White Mountains dominate New Hamp-
shire. There is charm in the name
Green Mountains. Business men realize
the value of an appropriate name for tho
products they have to sell. The name
Green Mountains ought to be worth a
great deal to Vermont in the contest for |
the summer tourist business.
A brief sketch has been printed of each |
town in the state, the towns being ar
ranged by counties. The plan has been |
to give a few facts of general historic in
terest, something of the scenic attrac-
tions, mention of the fish caught in the |
waters of the the town as indicated by !
the report of the state fish and gam |
commissioner. and an allusion to any ma
tives of the town who have gained ma
tiondl reputation.
The book cannot fail to be an impor-
tanJ factor in the work of promoting
VermonL's interests.
