There is a constitutional prohibition against a president suc- ceeding himself in office but President Irigoyen's opponents aIlege that he intends to evade it by delaying the
 election by some manufactured ex- cuse.
 They see proof of their charges in the fact that the Radical party which now controls the government has fail ed to announce a date for its conven- ton to nominate a presidential candi- date. They openly say that the Radi- cal party plans to continue the delay and that no candidate will be noIni- nated-

Trinity is even more picturesque than Reno, for it is in Trinity that the Klamath and Eel rivers start on their tricklng voyages, and it is the haven of West ern campers and Western sports as well.

 To illustrate his contentious, the Health Commissioner cited cancer. which, he said, is curable in the be- ginning of its growth. The public must be taught this, he declared, if more information were given by the medical profession about cancer the disease would never reach the can cerous stage.

February 28.
 Judge Thomas has presided at number of hearings in the McAuliffe case, first in the hearing of the ap- inally brought by the state from state to federal jurisdiction, then in the hearing of the plea to Jurisdiction and motion to Quash the state court favor of McAuliffe; next in tho ac- cepting of McAunffe's plea of not guiIty when the grand jury in the United States court returned an in dictment against him; later in hear ing the demurrer and motion to quash the indictment in the United States court case, which were decided ad- versely to McAuliffe; also in the mo- duction of bail in the state case, in which the bail was reduced to $1,000 from 1000 pending action on ap- peal, and then in taking up the ap- peal of States Attorney Alcorn from the decisions of the state case to the United States Supreme court Since that Judge Thomas has heard on diff ferent occasions testimony of the phy- sical suffering of McAulifbe during the past two or three months, when, be- cause of McAuliffe's physical cono1- ton. extensions of the date set for the trial have been asked for and granted Previous to that Judge

DIVORCE MILL IS FOUND BUSLY GRINDING WITHIN
 SHADOWS OF NATIONS CAPITOL AN ALEXANDRIA, VAL
Woman Bares Frauds of Ring Which Operated on Basis of False Rent Re ceipts.

Washington, Feb. 10-Within sight of the dome of the United States Capitol, near enough almost to be called impudent. is the townlet of Alexan dria, on the Virginia shore Of the Potomac, and therein is a1leg- ed to operate a divorce colony second only in fagrancy to that of world
 On the sworn statement of wom- an householder dwelling in that his- tor1c little hamlet, according to rec ords recently made public, hundreds of divorces have been granted.
 investigation of some of these cases has shown that. the persons nave never spent night in Alexan- dr1a and have obtained their divorces on the sworn statement of landlad1ee that they have lived in their houses for one year prior to the filing of the suit.
 Rent Receipt is Pivot
 A years residence in the State of Virginia being necessary to secure a divorce. revelations made recent ly have shown that parties in pursuit for one full year to a landlady and then received a receipt for same, which they then produced as evil dence of their years residence in the they whiled away the wearisome hours that ordinarily would have to be spent in Alexandria in some live Her city, perhaps in Washington, just
 
 Forty-two days was the minimum time limit in which a divorce could be secured, provided the seeker for relief was sent to the right attorney, according to statements made by landladies and others and printed in the local press. It was explained that a certain staff of attorneys, adopts at severing the bonds that bind all too loosely, could secure pronto service in smashing marital ties.
 One landlady termed this little Rena of the East a ''veritafble ha- ven of refuge for Washington peo- pie" And she had a little more to say.
 ..v "Diyorce Dumping Ground" out some evidence of local pride. .'Alexandria is getting to be the dump ing ground for Washington divorce seekers and I have lots of them stay at my house. Of course, that is they don't really stay here in fact. They pay me the rent for the year, and they send themselves an occasional letter through the regular mail and then when their cases come up they produce these letters and the receipt which gave them evidence of the fact that they have lived here one year. It's all very simple"
 Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintend- ent of the International Reform Bu- reau and more widely known as the star patient in the "blue-law'' fever it is anything but simple" He thinks it's 'awful,'' Dr. Crafts said to be explicit:
 "Profiteering in divorces is an aw- full thing. The wholesale issuance of divorces, as it has been done in Alex andria, is a disgrace to that city and to the nation. It is almost incon- ceivable that such conditions could obtain in Alexandria, or for that mat ter, elsewh here"

Reno holds sway); Clatsop, Oregon; Clackamas, Ore, and Columbia, Ore.
 Examples of Degradation"
 These places were held up by pr. Crafts as examples of degradation to which the East is being dragged down by the example of Alexandria, the erstwhile home of George Wash ington and many other notable men whose welded existences were as blissful and proper as they ought to have been. At least the records don't show otherwise.
 We have long talked of gambling hel1s; why not call Alexandria a. di- vorce hell? There is no measuring the sin and sorrow it's divorce mill is producing through it's greed in profiteering in divorces." Dr. Crafts said. He went on to compare Alex andria to Babylon, Reno and Califor- mia.
 The expose is being received with little concern in Alexandria quarters, but is causing considerable stir among moral bodies and in the press of many Atlantic cities.

Thomas has had McAuliffe before him a number Of times as a govern ment witness in federal prohloltlon prosecutions
