ment Of attorneys fling divorce suits

Notwithstanding the adoption of

claimed generally az direct blow at
the so-called evil, and is supposed to
spell the end to easy divorces in Alex
andria. there are members of the local
bar Who question Judge Moncure'S
wisdom and authority in adopting
such a rule and who do not think the
investigating committee should have
made such request
Appeal Can BE Made.
1t is pointed out that should any
lawyer take any serious objection
to the rule he has the privilege to
apply to the court Of appeals Of the
state for a mandamua suit COM
pelling Judge Moncure to hear this
divorce case under the present code,

The committee of lawyers appointed

and integrity. and II there Is an evil
existing they will discover 1t and will

pressed today by NJ B. Harlow, one OF
the prominent banking and real estate
men Of Alexandria.
This committee is going about its
probe into the divorce practice in the
right way" Mr.. Harlow said. "And no
one can help but be convinced OF its
earnestness and thoroughness. I be-
lieve it will soon find the cause Of the
trouble, and if any one has willfully VIC.
lated the divorce law he or she will be
made to answer. l have every conf

hold my Judgment until this body
reaches IT'S conclusions"
Mr.. Harlow said he did not care to
pass judgment in the meantime or to.
express any opinions regarding. the di.
vorce conditions and the charges which
have been made. He explained that he

sufficient reason in itself to refrain
from probably inaccurate and unfound-

King Indig handed it over with

And for an arrow the falcon
plucked out one of hiA own barbed

He held the bow-string in his beak
and the arrow he guided with one

Whang! Away sped the arrow

JUDGE EVANS.

TEERE is mourning among the
members Of the bar of Georgia
and among thousands of persons
not connected with the bar-over the
death of Judge Beverly d. Evans, OF
the federal court, Southern district
of Georgia. judge Evans expired
unexpectedly at his home in Savan-
nah Sunday evening from heart at
tack.
Judge Evans was one of the most
loved and respected jurists who ever
occupied the bench in Georgia. For
thirteen years he held the honorable
position of chief justice of the State
Supreme court, and for three years
previously had occupied a seat on
that distinguished tribunal. Previ-
ously he had served five years as a
Superior court judge. Brilliant from
his youth, he was admitted to the
bar at the age of 10 years and be-
fore he reached his 21st birthday
he had been elected to a seat in the
state legislature. His life from the
time he reached manhood, had been
one of public service, for which he
received its grateful honors.
Judge Evans by temperament and
training was splendidly fitted for the
federal court bench, a position to
which he was appointed in 1917 and
for which his term was the remainder
of his life. He graced every bench
he occupied and proved him>eif in
every way, worthy of every trust inn
posed upon him: Few greater eulo-
gies can be written about any man.
