HEARD
BY NEVADA COURT
Attorneys Speak on Motion To Have
Mary Pickford's Divorce
Annulled.

Carson, New, Jan. 31.-The Neva-
da supreme court, after hearing oral
arguments today on a motion of At
torney General Fowler to have the
divorce obtained by Miss Mary Pick
ford at Minden March 2, 1920, an
nulled, took the case under advise
ment. The court had three months in
which to make decision unless the
case is resubmitted before that time.
Fowler contended that the divorce
of Miss Pickford from Owen D..
Moore, another motion picture actor
was obtained by fraud, since he said
she deliberately swore she had no
other residence than Genoa, New, al
though both she and her husband
were bona fide residents of Los An
geles. .
Gavin McNab, attorney for Miss
Pickford, asserted that the attorney
generals act was "gratuitous and
action and interference
by a stranger without warrant in
law and against public policy" He
declared the divorce decree was ir-
revocably final since ne ther party
had appealed.
H. A. McCarran, former chief JUS
tice of the Nevada supreme court,
followed McNab, saying there was
no aggrieved party in the case and
therefore no foundation for the
suit.

BIRTH RATE FOR STATE
SECOND IN COUNTRY
Only North Carolina Excels South
Carolina in Percentage Of Babies.
Death Rate Low.

Columbia, Jan. 31.-When it
comes to the baby crop of 1921, the
year of financial depression, South
Carolina is second to only one state
in the union, according to the rec
crds in the bureau of vital statistics.
The one state that outpointed South
Carolina in the matter of births in
1921 was North Carolina. In 1921
the total number of births in this
state was 49,342, which is at the rate
of 29 bab es per 1000 population.
This was next to the highest rate in
the registration area in the United
States, according to health officials.
Not only was the birth rate high,
but the death rate was low-the low
est South Carolina has maintained
since she was admitted to the regis
tration area. The total number of
deaths IN the state IN l9Zl was w.
1862, which was at the rate Of 11.9
people per 1000 population. These
figures were taken from the records
of the bureau of vital statistics of
the state board Of health.
South Carolina was admitted to the
registration area not very long ago.
The admission means that national
health officials recognize the statistics
furnished as approximately accurate,
and recognition was awarded after
an investigation had shown that the
figures and records kept at the Office
were accurate and reliable. The bu-
reau Of vital statistics has registered
and indexed the 4s,342 births, &C.
cording to the state health officer.

DISTINCTION MADE
IN WAREHOUSES;

|. Washington, Jan. 31.-IntoXicating
liquors stored in government bonded
warehouses can not be withdrawn by
the owners for their own personal
use, the supreme court today held in
decision delivered by Justice Nc
Kenna, and dissented to by Justice
McReynolds. Such liquor can only be
transported from the bonded ware
house Justice McKenna stated, to a
wholesale druggist for sale to him for
purposes not prohibited.
The court in a previous decision
had held that owners could withdraw
from private warehouse liquor for
their own consumption or for the use
of their family or their bona fide
guests. Today's rulings marks wide
distinction between private and bond
ed warehouses.
Justice Mckenna on this point said
that "mere ownership was not the
equivalent" to possession and declar-
ed that under the Volstead law,
"there must be ownership, and poss-
ession in ones private dwelling, and
that character can not be assigned to
the bonded warehouses of the govern
ment." The cases before the court
did not, he said, have the effect of
depriv:ng those who held warehouse
certificates of their property without
due process of law nor did it amount,
he added, to the taking Of private
property for public purposes without
just compensation.
Referring to the contention that
the prohibition amendment and the
Volstead act if applied to .liqour
manufactured and lawfully acquired
before the amendment and the law
became effective would be void, as
taking from property its essential at
tributes of the right to use it, pos
sess it and enjoy it. Justice McKenna
stated that the court was mot dis
posed to trace the elements Of the
contentious minutely, as they were
all answered by the. former decision
of the court in the national prohibi-
ton cases." .e.
Referring to that, part of the law
which permits one to use lawfully OBJ
tanned liquor in his home, Justice Nc
Kenna asserted this right can not be
construed to extend ''to liquors not
so situated or to put it more pointed
ly an intention to make all bonded
warehouses of the country outbuild-
ings of it's dwellingsi'

FIVE POWER TREATY
REACHES FINAL FORM
WILL BE PLACED BEFORE THE
WORLD AT PLENARY SESSION
/, OF ARMS CONFERENCE WED
NESDAY-LONG SESSION OV-
Err sHANTUNG QUESTION.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The text OF
the five power naval treaty, to carry
into effect the capital ship settlement
the limitations placed on auxiliary
warcraft, and the "status quo" agree
ment regarding Pacific Notifications,
was put into final form today and
will be placed before the world at a
plenary session Of the arms confer
ence on Wednesday.
Final agreement on the fortifica-
tions article, for weeks the only pro-
vision of the treaty remaining incom-
plete, came after japan had suggest
ed and other powers had agreed that
the American Aleutian' islands, which
are part of Alaska, should be IN
cluded in the area in which no furth-
er Notifications or, naval bases are
to be erected.
AS accepted the provision pledges
the powers to maintain in their pres
ent status the fortification of the Phil
ippines, Guam, the Aleutian islands
and various smaller Pacific posses
,sions of the United States, Formosa
and other Japanese islands stretching
to the north and south from the prin-
cipal Japanese group, and the. Brit
ish port. Of Hongkong, together with
a number of British islands lying to
the southeast. The Japanese main
land, japanese Sakhalin, British
Singapore and the Hawaiians do,-"not
fall under the prohibition.
Although at first regarded by the
American delegation as part of the
American mainland for all the pur-
poses of the treaty the Aleutian
group is said in American naval cir
cles tonight to have little strategic
value in any of the naval plans of the
general board. The Japanese on, the
other hand are understood to have
taken the position that the archipel-
ago, stretching out from the Alaskan
mainland toward Siberia, might be-
come, a potential factor in the Far
Eastern situation if it became the
site of an American naval base.
Among the japanese islands listed
as falling within the "status quo"
significance is attached in naval
circles to Formosa and the various
island chains which stretch away to
the southwark from the main jap
anese group. 1t would be in these
waters, in the opinion of many naval
experts, that the most potential Jap
anese naval bases could be develop
ed. The belief that Japan might in
the future desire to build great
naval establishment on Formosa and
might also fortify the Loochoo and
other groups in order to bottle up the
Yellow sea and the Sea of Japan has
long been prevalent among naval au-
thorit; es.
In the same way Japanese naval
opinion has held that America
would possess a powerful foothold in
the Far East if naval base were
erected on the American island of
Guam, now excluded from further
fortifcation along with the Formosa
and the Pescadores.
