LIBERAL DIVORCE
NEvADA'S BANE

/
CARSON CITY, April S.-Neve-
da's divorce laws are due for some
undeisired publicity if the attorney
generals here office goes through
/ with its plan to contest the validity
/ of the divorce Mary Pickford obtain
ed from Owen Moore
Assistant Attorney General Rich
ards has intimated that the state ex-
poets to gring suit in the name of
the citizens of Douglas county to
have the divorce set aside.
Public men of this state never like
to be quoted on two phases of the di-
vorce law. One is the provision that
allows immediate divorce if service
is obtained on the defendant in the
county where the divorce is brought.
The other is the fact that each plain
tiff is forced to swear that perman-
ent residence in the state is planned.
Mary Pickford brought both these
features into bold relief She obtain
ed service on Owen Moore in Doug
las county and thus was able to get
speedy divorce, after she had been
in the county only fortnight.
She testified on the stand that she
expected to make the state her per-
manent residence. She left Neveda
within two days after the divorce was
obtained, land now has announced an
extensive trip with Douglas Fair
banks with no mention of a perman-
ent abode in a Neveda town.
These featuees, it is known, are the
ones WHICH the Attorney General is
investigating.
Hundreds of men and women seek
ing divorce in Reno each year swear
that they plan to make Nevada their
permanent home. This has gone on
for years, yet Nevada remains the
smallest state in the Union.
Those profiteering from Neveda's
present lenient divorce laws have
made every effort to direct atten-
ton away from these features, for
they face a militant minority that
seizes upon every opportunity to
force a revision of the laws to make
them stricter.
The "Movie-like" rapidity with
which Americas Sweetheart" chang
ed from Mrs. Moore to Mrs. Fair
banks via the Nevada divorce route
has brought Neveda's divorce laws
more publicity than they ever before
received.
Richards refuses to be quoted Ill
rectly, He will only say that within
a few days some action may be ex-
pected and that he is 'looking up

and should they prove to favor the
central government conflict in the
bay city is by no means impossible.
In response to a telegram sent by
General Dieguez some days ago to-
governor de la Huerta and each Of
the Presidentes Municipal throughout
the state, informing them of his in
tention to enter Sonora with a mill
tary force according to Carranza's
orders; General Gales yesterday sent
an answer informing Dieguez that the
people of Sonora had completely lost
confidence in the central government
both on account of the propoed mill
tdry action and on account of the
persistent prosecutions offered Cen
eral Obregon, and that he had it in
his power to precipiate a civil war in
the state by carrying out his de-
clared plans.
Although the situation is fraught
with possibilities, it can ge smoothe6
out easily and quietly by the recess
sion from the stand taken ON the part
of the Carranza government, and all
true friends of Mexico hope still for

WASHINGTON, April 8.-A bit

President Wilson featured the open
ing debate in the House on the res

Chairman Campbell of the Rules
Committee, declared that "the Pres
ident who was to keep US out of war

Congressman Pou of North Caro-

partisan purposes" at is nothing
more than an effort to discredit Will
son for political capital.
Pou told the Republicans: "You

does not wish the United States to

The debate was featured gy fre-
quent demonstrations. Laughter
among Republicans greeted Pou's
statement that the President has no
ambition in view. The Democrats
broke into cheers when Pou declared
that the Coyenent of the League of
Nations alone would make Wilson
immortal. Mention by Pou of Taft

Rumors. circulated around the city
last night, and purporting to have

ters in Nogales, Sonora to the eff
feet that General Obregon was in Jail
yesterday in Mexico City. were en-
phatically denied by Mr.. Obregon's
officials when interviewed by rep

The said officials were emphatic in
their denunciation of the recent ac-
tion of President Carranza in sum-
moning the general to the capital to
act as witness in the, case of ex-
General Cejudo who is charged with
rebellion. This move on the part of

n { X I N 0 Y E

The threatened break between the
federal government and the state of
Sonora through the determination of
the state officials to resist all at
tempts at usurpation of state rights
and federal invasion of the state
sovereignty, remained in practically
statue quo yesterday.
Governor de la Huerta and the 9th
er state officials waited an answer
from the Carranza government to
their declaration, OF some move on
its part that would indicate what the
answer might be.
Rumors were rife throughout the
city to the effect that the state au-
thorities had taken over the federal
telegraph lines, were preparing te
take over the customs house this
morning, and that general usurpa-
ton of federal authority was in pro-
gress or being planned. All such acts
and intentions were emphatically
denied by Governor de la Huerta in
an interview to a representative of
"The Oasis" last evening shortly be-
fore ne and his staff left on his
special train for Hermosillo.
The governor reiterated the determ-
ination of the authorities of the state
to resist any usurpation by the fed
eral government of it's sovereignty
rights and authority, and stated en-
phatically that no move leading to a
break or revolution would be made
by the state authorities.
1t was stated further that no an
swer had been received by either the
governor nor the Sonora Congress to
the declarations wired to Mexico
City; and in view of the silence on the
part of the federal government, the
first move on the part of said gov
ernment is geing watched for with
great expectancy throughout the en-
tire state.
AS the situation now stands, any
eventualities that may arise will be
directly on the responsibility of the
Carranza government. He has it in
his power to leave inviolate the rights
of the state and it's citizens and thus
preserve the tranquility of the state;
or by pushing on with the military
movement planned by Dieguez he
can cause break between the state
and federal governments. 1t ii now
certain that any attempt ON the part
of General Dieguez to bring a mill
tary force into the state will meet
with resistance on the part of the
Sonorans, who are determined to de-
fend their rights and sovereignty.
According to well authenticated
rumors last night, the only possibl-
ity of trouble in the state at the pre-
sent time, lies in the presence of some
200 federal marines now encampted
at Guaymas. In view of the tense
ness of the situation it is hardly
likely that these marines will be per-
mitted to remain in the state unless
they are in sympathy with the stand

The heaviest losses from blackieg

year reports indicate that the disease
is making its appearance much earlier
than usual. Hence the Importance

view OF the fact that the treatment

mo one should hesitate because of
the slight expense involved. This is
trivial as compared to the saving ef-
fected. The loss of one animal in
a herd of 300 represents a greater
loss than the cost of vaccine suffici-
ent to treat the entire herd. It costs
real money to produce an animal. WHY
then should it be lost because of the
slight expense? Why not save it
and at the same time give protection
