Mary Pickford
Divorce Decree
Upheld by Court
Nevada Attorney General
Quashes Move to Have
Her Separation From
Owen Moore Set Aside.

Reno, New, June 25.-The effort
of the state s,ttoruey general to have
the divorce decree Of Mary Pickford
from Owen Moore set aside failed
at Minden this afternoon when Dis.
trict Judge Langan granted motion
to quash the summons in the at
torney generals proceedings.
The court held that while it was
true the state was a party to all d.
vorces. as contended by the attorney
general, yet the state was represent
ed by the trial judge and not by the
attorney general. As the decree had
been accepted by both plaintiff and
defendant the judge decided, the
state was estopped from proceed.
ings to set aside the decree.
Many of the members of the bar
from all western Nevada were pres.
ent at the Minden court when the
decision was given.
Los angeles, June 25.-Mary
Pickford, the validity of whose
divorce from Owen Moore was up
held today at Minden. New, was in
formed of the decision upon receipt
of the Associated Press dispatches
here, but said she preferred to have
her husband, Douglas Fairbanks,
speak concerning the matter. Miss
Pickford was married to Mr.. Fair
banks shortly after the entry of the
Nevada decree.
"The report concerning the out
come of the litigation in Nevada is
very gratifying to both Miss Pick
ford-now Mrs. Fairbanks-and my
self" said Mr.. Fairbanks. I'VE
deem it best not to comment at
length, but the rulihg makes us
very. yery happy"

Reformatory Is
Set At Lincoln
By State Board
Will Purchase Hayward Mill.
tary Academy for $37,5OO
As Site For New
Institution.

Lincoln, June 25.-(Special.)-
Lincoln gets the new 100000 stat,
reformatory.
In a statement issued this after
noon the state board of control an
nounced that the site Of the ole
Hayward military academy TIVE
miles south of Lincoln, had beer
selected and the present building and
10 acres of ground would be pur.
chased for $37,5OO.
This price, the board declared, is
bargain and it is pointed out that
the same building erected at this
time, with the land, would cost Ne.
braska $205,000.
There are l0l rooms in the ole
academy building, we'll ventilated
situated on high ground overlook
ing Lincoln, with excellent water
and sewerage facilities. ..'..
The board announced further that
after the building had been repaired
the state might purchase more
ground which could not be appraised
in excess of $500 an acre.
Three Main Reasons.
Accessibility, economy and the
proximity of Lincoln to the center of
crime were three cardinal points
considered in locating the institution
at Lincoln, members of, the board
declared. Here are the arguments,
in brief, advanced by the board for
the Lincoln location:
Lincoln and Omaha will furnish 40
per cent of the inmates.
The board of pardons and paroles
must visit the institution at least once
month with a retinue of stenog-
raphers. The parole officer makes fire.
quent trips to the institution and this
together with the savings on trans
portation of prisoners to western
towns who were applicants for the
reformatory means thousands of dol
lars, yearly.
2S4 Miles to Ogallala.
The board would be forced to
travel 284 miles to Ogallala, 176 miles
to Broken Bow, 90 miles to Grand
Island. 81 miles to Hastings, 1856
miles to Kearney, 208 miles to
O'Neill, 81 miles to Fremont.
The board makes assurances in its
statements that the state penitentiary
and the reformatory shall be two
separate and distinctive institutions.
operated by different superintend-
ents, officers and personnel.
Another argument" the report
reads, sis that transfers can be made
from one institution to another with
out any expense attached for the
transfer"
The argument offered by towns
located in the western part of the
state. that the eastern half was get
ting the lions share of state insti-
tutions was answered thusly by the
board:
"The distributions of state institu-
tions is not, or should not be a mat
ter of either politics or patronage"

Taft Sends Plea
For Relief Fund
Chief Justice Says Children
Of Europe Rely on
Americans.

\ plea to the people of America
to assist the starving peoples OF
Europe by contributing funds to
the Near East Relief was made
yesterday in a letter sent to Mrs.
Cabot Stevens, honorary director Of
the organization in this city. by
Chief Justice William II. Taft. of
the United States Supreme Court.
The Chief Justices letter is as
follows:
81 sincerely hope that your cam
paign for further contributions to
the Near East Relief and the help
of the poor children who have had
some little aid. and who have been
led to expect. by past assistance.
rescue and future comfort, will be
successful
II realize that the country is
more or less jaded with a constant
call for contributions. but the coun-
try still has abundant resources
and abundant wealth, and cannot
think that the sacrificial spirit
which developed so much in the
war. and the sense of the brother
hood of man, have disappeared and
cannot be reused to the real neces.
stiles that those devoted persons
carrying on the Near East Relief
are eagerly trying to supply"
