BROWN MUST PAY
COSTS IN OLD CASE

One of the most far-reaching and In.
teresting legal questions ever raised IN
the Superior Court came up IN the
Brown divorce case this morning, when
Attorney D. o. Hastings, counsel for Dal
Ray Brown. asked the Superior Court 70
rule that n decree nisi In divorce case
acts at once TO relieve the husband OF
any need Of supporting his wife for the
wear before the decree becomes absolute,
i'm cases where the Municipal Court has
put support order on the husband or
where the husband has had TO pay all
monv under an order of Superior Court
Mr Hastings also suggested that the
Superior Court at the time Of issuing
decree nisi ought to fix the relations OF
the party for All time to come
Attorney General ID. J. Reinhardt,
though not in the case, asked that the
court give a decision on the point raised
hv Mr.. Hastings, and suggested that all
the state Judges and the Municipal
[ Court Judges hold a conference and hN
/ the practice in such cases for all time
/ TO come.
Mr.. Hastings then moved that the
alimonv Judgment in the Brown case be
/ vacated as Of the date when the decree

Judges Rice and Heisel said the prop
osition is n new one, involving not only
fine point of law but also question
of practice to be hereafter followed in al

Special ELECTION
Seems IN DOUBT
"Wet" and DRY" Fight
May be Blocked by No
Registration
NO MOVE YET TO
LAY OUT CAMPAIGN

County officials seriously doubt
whether there will be any need this
year for the $4,000 provided for the
special wet" and "dry" election be
cause there IS very little chance they
say, that the voters can be registered
on July r. which is the first day to
register for that election, and so no
election may be held.
The law providing for the wet
and dry election pakes 1t incumbent
upon the governor to name special
election officers TO hold the election
and special registration officers for
registering the voters. This special
registration board must name officers
for each Of the 166 districts in the
county and they must know the new
books and all supplies ready one week
from next Saturday or July Z. The
registrars for each district are to be
selected from lists prepared by thu
wet" and dry" committees. Thest
lists are not even started yet.
The Governor has made no move Il
b name the special board. and so Il has
been almost impossible for any dis
b trict registrars 20 be named. No
