Nevada Supreme Court
UphoIds Divorce Ruling
In MARY Pickford Case

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1T am
very, very happy, more happy than
I can express" said Mary Pickford
when informed of the decision Of the
Nevada supreme court upholding
her divorce from Owen Moore, &C.
cording to her counsel, Gavin Nc
Nab, who telephoned the news to
her in Los Angeles.
The divorce of Miss Pickford from
Owen Moore, also q screen favorite,
at Minden, New, March 20, 1920,
precipitated an action by the state
for the dissolution of the decree on
the ground that Miss Pickford's res
idence in the state had not covered
the period required by law. The dis
trict court, in which the divorce was
granted, was asked to review it's de-
cision and reverse itself, but held
that the action had been regular and
that the decree would stand.

T WAS greatly concerned lest the
president should be unable by
reason Of his physical condition
to stand the strain Of Inauguration
day. Indeed, members of his cabi-
net and intimate friends, like Gray
son and myself, had tried to per-
suade him not to take part, but he
could not, by any argument, be
drawn away from what he believed
to be his duty-to join in the in
auguration of his successor, Presi-
dent-elect Harding. The thought
that the people of the country might
misconstrue his attitude if he should
remain away, and his firm resolve to
show every courtesy to his successor
in office were the only considera-
tions that led him to play his part to
the end.
When I arrived at the White
House early on the morning Of the
4th of March. the day Of the in
auguration, found him in his study,
smiling and gracious as ever. He
acted like a bow who was soon to
be out of school and free of the
burdens that had for eight years
weighed him down to the breaking
point. He expressed to me the feel
ing of relief that he was expert
encing now that his term Of office
was really at an end. I recalled to
him the little talk we had had on
the same day. four years before,
upon the conclusion Of the cere-
monies incident to his own inaugu-
ration in 1917. At the time we were
seated in the executive office. Turn
ing away from his desk and gazing
out Of the window which overlooked
the beautiful White House lawn and
gardens, he said:
"Well, how wish this were March
4, 1921. What a relief 1t will be tc
do what please and to say what
please; but, more than that, to write
my own impressions Of the things
that have been going on under my
own eyes. have felt constantly 8

dency. The only thing I resent
when I am not performing the du

that I am president Of the United
States. feel toward this office az

obliged to perform. but which. out
Of working hours, he Is glad to gel

LOCAL BERRY SCHOOL
ALUMNI ORGANIZE

Permanent mobilization in Atlanta
OF graduates and prominent support
ers of the Berry school, near Rome,
Cd, was formally effected Wednes-
day night through the founding Of
an Atlanta. chapter Of the Berry
Alumni association, which will serve
as the active unit Of growing or
ganization dedicated to furthering
the interests of Georgia's unique ed
vocational institution.
Miss Martha Berry, who has given
her life to bringing the school from
a modest beginning to a stage OF
usefulness and scope that has given
her a national reputation, was the
principal speaker at the dinner at
the Daffodil tea room. Miss Berry
retold the remarkable story Of the
school, just as she had told it an
hour before over The Journals radio
broadcasting station, and as she has
told it in scores of cities all over
America.
Gordon Keown, Berry's Oldest
graduate and president of the alumni
association, presided as POSTMASTER.
More than seventy-five graduates
now living in or near Atlanta were
present. Among the prominent At
lantians who spoke on the necessity
for organized and continuous sup
port for the school was j. K. Orr,
who, with distinguished group OF
Atlantians, was elected to honorary
membership in the association.
The officers of the Atlanta chap
ter as elected Wednesday night, are
Charles w. Anderson, president; Ted
Butler and Miss Hermenta Blaylock,
vico presidents, and Mrs. Mettie
White, secretary-treasurer. Miss
Martha Berry and J. K. Orr were
elected honorary presidents, and
John J. Eagan, Marion Jackson,
Robert Maddox, Forrest Adair, ST.,
Luther u. Rosser, ST., F. K. Hoeh1rt
and Gordon Keown were named hon
orary members.
Telling Of the urgent need for
enlargement of Berry's facilities for
making useful and constructive com
munity leaders of Georgia boys and
girls facing hopeless futures, Miss
Berry made forceful plea for sup
port Of an institution that is lit
eral gift to the state and warmly
congratulated the friends and grad
yates who had organized in behalf
of the school.
At $50 o'clock Miss Berry made
her first radio address, appearing
at WSB, The Journals broadcasting
station, and delivering a message to
| the wireless world that was remark
able, both for it's appeal and for the
singular clarity with which it reach
ed listeners. The Berry quartet, in
Guiding Lester Ponder, David Orig
gers, T. D. Wells and Marlin Fits,
were with Miss Berry, and sang a
group of songs forsthe entertainment
| of WSB's invisible audience.

Judicial Investigation
Next Step in Romance
fMathilde Mccormick

CHICAGO, June Judicial in.
vestigation Of Max Oser's eligibility
and qualifications as a husband for
Mathilde Mccormick Is the next step
in the international romance Of John
D. Rockefeller's seventeen-year-old
granddaughter and the friction be-
tween her parents.
Today Mathilde has q guardian
who is said to be ready to give his
consent to her marriage to the Swis
horseman, who was her riding mas
ter during her girlhood days in the
AlpsA Her father, Harold F. McCor-
mick, titular head of the Interna-
tional Harvester company millions,
was accepted by his divorced wife as
The horseman Of Zurich is the ex-
ception, and Judge Horner, of the
probate court, is expected to decide
whether Max's twenty-seven years
seniority over the age Of his prospec-
tive bride and his comparative pow
erty furnish sufficient grounds to
grant an injunction restraining Mr..
Mccormick from giving his consent
to the international marriage.
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick, Mathilde's mother, expressed
the fear that there were mercenary
motives in Oser's courtship of her
daughter, who is heir to part of the
Rockefeller millions, as well as some
of the Mccormick wealth. The mar
riage, Mrs. Mccormick said, might
subject Mathilde to ,"the machina-
tions and intrigues Of designing per-
sons"
The unusual, if not unprecedented,
situation of an injunction petition
to prevent an international marriage
Of the Oser-McCormick sort will
likely head Mathilde's romance to a
higher court, it was said today. For
mer Judge Charles S. Cutting, couR[
sci for Mrs. Mccormick, intimated
as much if Judge Horner stamps his
judicial 20. K" on Mr.. Mccormick s
tacit approval of the contemplated
union and denies the petition.
At the suggestion of the court and
the concurrence Of counsel who en-
gagged in a verbal tilt yesterday over
the petition, Mr.. Mccormick has
agreed to withhold consent of the
marriage at least until Saturday.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

One would think that after the
election the president would show a
slackening of interest in the affairs
of the nation; that having been re-
pudiated by solemn referendum,
he would grow Indifferent and list
less to the administrative affairs
that came to his desk. On the con-
trary, so far as his interest in af-
fairs was concerned, one coming in
contact with him from day to day
after the election until the very
night Of March 8 would get the i'm
preston that nothing unusual had
happened and that his term was to
run on indefinitely.
One of the things to which he paid
particular attention at this time was
the matter of the pardon Of Eugene
V. Debs. The day that the recon-
mendation for pardon arrived at the
White House he looked it over and
examined it carefully and saiG II
will never consent to the pardon Of
this man. I know that in certain
quarters Of the country there is a
popular demand for the pardon Of
Debs, but it shall never be accom-
plished with my consent. Were I
to consent to it, I should never be
able to look into the faces Of the
mothers of this country who sent
their boys to the other side. While
the flower of American youth was
pouring out it's blood to vindicate the
cause Of civilization, this man, Debs,
stood behind the lines, sniping, at
lacking and denouncing them. Be-
fore the war he had a perfect right
to exercise his freedom Of speech
and to express his own opinion, but
once the congress Of the United
States declared war, silence on his
part would have been the proper
course to pursue. I know there will
be a great deal of denunciation of
me for refusing this pardon. They
will say am cold-bIooded and in
different, but it will make no i'm
preston on me. This man was a
traitor to his country, and he will
never be pardoned during my ad-
ministration."
