SINGS ITS
SWAN SONG AS
DIVORCE MECCA
Grand Rush Of CoIonists to Take
Advantage Of the Old Law
Comes to an End.

RENO, July 19-With such songs
as Meet Friend From Your Home
Town" and AT the Devils Ball." sung
by feminine entertainers from Metro
politan music halls, accompanied by
high-class orchestras, the divorce col.
ony celebrated the past week the be-
ginning of the end of the Nevada
quick divorce.
On the stroke of the midnight hour
on Monday the curtain dropped upon
one scene in Reno's notable divorce
colony performance which has COM
manded the attention of the world for
so long-that of the almost daily ap-
pearance of new faces upon the
streets, as men and women, from
plain country folk to deliberately
gowned and bejeweled society beau
ties, arrived to beoin their required
six months residence in the State and
county, preparatory to the prospective
divorce action.
Law Hats colonists.
No more will incoming trains de-
post these colonists and carloads of
trunks. for the familiar song, I'm OH
MY Way to Reno" has been shelved
by the action of tn last Legislature,
when II dealt the knock blow in
its ultimatum that no divorce pro-
ceeding shall be instituted in the
State Of Nevada under the existing
six-month residence law after De-
cember 81 next, thereby limiting the
time in which newcomers could begin
such residence ~eriod TO Monday last
Previous to July, 1909. the presence
here for divorce of but an occasional
person of prominence merely COM
manded attention to that individual,
but II led to a method of publicity by
an attorney which started the ball
rolling, and it has never stopped roll
ing Its greatest momentum is being
witnessed now.
All Houses Are Thronged.
During the past month, and espe-
ciany the week ending on Monday,
the throng of newcomers has expert
enced great difficulty in securing such
apartments as they might desire. All
the hotels are crowded. as are the de-
sirable rooming houses. Availa BILE
cottages are almost as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth. In many cot
tages from four to six Divorces are
living.
Some private boarding houses are
housing as many as ten of the fair
sex, and men. There are now scores
of so-called Divorces nests" here
Every train the past fortnight has
unloaded new arrivals, the prepOnder-
ance of men and very young women,
seemingly well to do and fashionable
being noticeable. The proportion OF
men to women increased largely.
Baby carriages and dogs played con-
spicuous parts.

woman of Henry County, was anoth-

prove habitual drunkenness on Craw-
ford's part.
Mrs. Crawford released from the
Tower on DaIl of $3.50, has remained
in the seclusiOn of her home on West
Peachtree street all week, steadfastly
quiet and refusing all statements in
the face of the accusations against
her. She has said nothing regarding
the case, except a simple denial of
the charges.
Reporters seeing her were treated
courteously and quietly, and Mrs.
Crawford seemed not averse to talk
to them freely. But in most of the
talk the subject of the murder charge
and the plot charge in which Jumps
name appears was carefully skirted.
Mrs. Crawford is a large woman,
Of dignified appearance. Not one mo-
ment since her arrest Saturday night
has her composure broken, even
slightly. In the Tower she received
the few persons who called on her,
and during the visit did not exhibit

their love.
Mrs Crawford's children are bitter

and neices of JOSHUA B. Crawford.

mother with extreme cruelty Mrs.
Crawford herself accused her enc

Mrs. Crawford met Joshua b. Craw e.
ford when she was in charge of a
winter hotel in st. Augustine. wither
Crawford went in search of health.
II was there she met him. and there
that she married him. At his death,
there was settlement Of his estate,
Mrs. Crawford taking hold of the
affairs with a capable hand.
An agreement was signed. and the
affairs of Joshua B. Crawford, de-
ceased, seemed amicably settled. Then
the litigation was sprung In the
first bill of complaint the heirs who
contested the will charged Mrs Craw
ford with poisoning her husband, and
of exerting undue influence to pro-
cure will in her favor. But 1t was
not until three years later two weeks
ago, that an examination of the re-
mains of Joshua B. Crawford to as
certain traces of poison was ordered.
Upon the examination came the YER
dict of the physician that traces of
poison We're vident, and Mrs. Craw-
ford was arrested.
With preliminary hearing waived.
Mrs. Crawford's case is fatty up to
the grand jury, which, without def
mite date of meeting. awaits the call
of the Solicitor General. The body
probably will be assembled next week

Congress to Lose
Costly Stationery
Government Printer Is Ordered to
Stop Use of Costly Material
for Lawmakers.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Members
of Congress will draw no more costly
embossed stationery at the expense of
the Government. Hereafter they will
get along with plain, every day print
ed letterheads and envelopes.
The Joint Committee on Printing
discovered that the Government Print
ing Office last year turned out H.
100000 embossed pieces of stationery
at an extra cost of $4,000. An order
has been issued to the Government
Printer to stop this extravaganza.
On the Senate side of Congress this
economy reform is resented, but ii
goes just the same. If Senators want
stationery de luxe they must foot the
bills out of their private purse.

past week, the greater bulk being
parcels post articles and fairly
swamped the office. Apparent tons
OF matter were received and dis
patched by good management as ex-
peditiously as it was possible to do so,
which certainly inures to the credit
OF Postmaster Treyitt and his official
force on this occasion, the first holt
day season under the new law. The
force worked early and late in hand
ling this great mass and how well
they succeeded can be imagined from
the tremendous amount of regular
and irregular mail and packages pass
ing through their hands. A conServa-
tion estimate is that about 10000
packages alone were sent out from
this office and about the same num-
Der received, saying nothing of the
