OBJECTS MAKING THIS
CITY 'RENO OF EAST"
Master in Divorce Suit Reports
Against Granting Decree to
New York Woman

The question whether Philadelphia de-
serves the title of the Reno of the
East" was raised indirectly in the Court
of Common Pleas No. today, and was
answered i'm the negative
Michael c. Goglia, reporting as master
in the suit of Gertrude c. L. Stark
against her husband, Armin Stark, not
only refused to recommend the decree
asked, but severely criticised what he de-
clared was an attempt to establish a
legal residence in Pennsylvania in order
to take advantage of the divorce laws
of the State.
The case was argued before Judges
Bregy and Shoemaker on exceptions to
the report and findings of Mr.. Goglia.
The parties to the suit are prominent
residents of New York. Mrs. Stark after
getting a partial divorce in New York,
came to this city Immediately and took
apartments at the Hotel Lorraine, on
North Broad street. Later she went to
the st. James Hotel. She is about 30
years old and Mr.. Stark is several years
older She had with her their 9-year-old
child. The Starks were married at
Sherry's, New York. April ID, 1905.
The divorce suit, brought in the New
York court by Mrs. Stark, was entered in
1918. She charged cruel treatment, marital
counter-charges and a partial divorce was
granted. She came to this city on April
l. 1914. and exactly one year later, the
earliest time when she could legally bring
action for divorce her libel was fled here,
charging desertion. as
The finding of the master was that Mrs.
Stark's residence in this city was not real
or bona tide 1.-The establishment of such
precedent in this State" he reported,
would work incalculable injury"
The Judges reserved their decision in
the case
Divorces granted were:

Four bright-eyed. happy children rang
the doorbel of the home of Mrs. Reuben,
942 Jackson street, today, and pleaded
that she permit her 3-year-old daughter
to come out into the street and play with
them.
please Mrs. Reuben. can't Ida play
prisoners base with us; Wen have an
awfully good time and wen take good
care OF her" Mrs. Reuben hesitated, but
consented finally, and for the first time
in her life Ida was allowed to mingle
with the other little boys and girls of the
neighborhood.
The game was progressing merrily and
Ida was the most enthusiastic of its par
ticipants until $3.50 o'clock. At that time
a wagon bearing a load of charcoal was
coming south on 10th street. At 10th and
Jackson the little folk were so busy with
their sport that they failed to hear An
thony Cuglio, 25 years old, of 1908 Clarion
street, shouting a command to clear the
street. His horse was on a fast trot, and
before the other children saw it's ap-
proach the iron wheels of the vehicle had
crushed Ida.

II want to say he's a prevarleator

ceipt for that letter. he states an un-
