Consequently hope is entertained
that feeling on both sides on the bor-

Further hope for lessening the ten

GATEL0CKEDFAST
TO. EASY DIVORCE
Action of Alexandria Judge
RevoIutionizes Business of
Obtaining DEGREES.
From a stan Correspondent.

FROM St4n correspondent.
ALEXANDRIA. February 15.-The
divorce business of this city has
been practically revolutionized by
the action of Judge Robinson Mon
cure Of the local corporation court
in establishing a rule of the latter
which embodies the spirit and sub
stance Of the bill intended to
strengthen the divorce law of the
state. which was drawn up by the
committee investigating the alleged
divorce evil here, and which Is now
tending in the state legislature
Gstes securely Lssksa.
The gates to the so.ceiled "easy
Atvorce" having been unqaestion-
ably securely locked, at least tenn
porarily or until the bill in question
has been enacted into law. according
to the views today Of practically the
entire community. There is no one
who is known to be Of any other
opinion than that Judge Moncure's 9
adoption Of this rule will put an in
stant stop to what has been charged
by some as shameful and fraudulent
practice" Judge Moncure today, in
commenting upon his ready compli-
ance with the investigating commit
tees request for such an order from
the court. stated to The Stars repre-
sentative that he was glad to be in a
position to extend any aid in bringing
unfortunate or evil situation, If such
exists. In adopting the rule he used
practically the same language as is
contained in the committees pending
bill. except for a few minor changes
and the elimination Of the last para
graph which prevents the court from
issuing a divorce decree until three
months after suit has been Instituted.
Kept Within Statute
In not including this provision for
the Limitation on the issuance of a
decree, Judge Moncure explained that
the divorce code now specifically
places no such limit, and he there
fore did not care to take-it upon him
self to make a ruling in this respect.
The Judge is satisfied that his rul-
ing will greatly reduce the divorce
practice. that 1t will lessen possible
intrigues in the endeavor to obtain di.
vorces. and that it will make it ex-
tremely difficult and more expensive
for those seeking freedom from the
marriage ties. He is positive that the
results to be derived from this ruling
will be extremely beneficial to the
community and the commonwealth
and he believes also that members OF
the bar having divorce practice and
the court itself will, as a result of this
rule, be amply protected from imposi-
ton on the part of unscrupulous liti-
eants anxious to quickly and easily
obtain a divorce. and who in the past,
because Of the unfortunate indefinite
ness In the wording Of the law, have
been able to take advantage of their
attorneys and the court.
Entered as Rule.
Judge Moncure issued his order
yesterday afternoon. beneath which
he wrote the following direction for
the clerk of the court: Dear Mr..
Greenaway: Please enter the above as
rules in the chancery code book of tn,
city Of Alexandria. Va, applicable to
all divorce suits hereafter filed and
notify all attorneys of the same. Also

'QU|CK WORK SEEN

Street Force, With PIoWs and
Graders, in Action Before
Daybreak.

\ with four motor plows and twelve
| horse drawn graders in action before
daybreak. the Washington street
cleaning department made credita-
Bile showing in snow removal today.
! The secret of today's success may
be attributed to the fact that follow
| ing the last storm Morris Hacker. su-
pervisor of city refuse. and Thomas L.
Costigan. director Of street cleaning.
mapped out definite plan OF opera
tion which was put into effect auto
matically early this morning.
Planned by Mr.. Hacker.
| Mr.. Hacker ARRANGED last week to
have the motor truck plows follow
j the snow sweepers of the street car
companies and throw into the curb
the snow brushed aside by the track
sweepers.
He also made ARRANGEMENTS several
days ago with Maj. Sullivan to have
the police notify the crews of these
street cleaning plows at any hour of
the night when two inches of snow is
on the ground.
| Mr.. Hacker. was awakened at 3
o'clock this morning. and. after OBJ
serving the situation from his WIN
| dow. telephoned the word to Detec-
tive Sergt. Fred Cornwell. on duty
at police headquarters. to turn out
the plow crews.
The addresses Of these men had al
! ready been placed on file in each
precinct station and patrolmen were
directed to notify them to turn out.
i Snow Plow Trucks Assigned.
The four snow plow trucks pro-
ceeded to the starting points of i'm
portant street car lines and taailed
| behind the sweepers Of the compa-
ntes. This step was taken to pre-
vent the crippling Of car service. such
as occurred last month. when auto
mobiles, unable to travel on the road
ways, used the car tracks and packed
snow and ice into the rails.
AS one car line was opened up, the
trucks moved to other lines.
Mr.. Hacker said the trucks and
! plows are owned by the District. The
trucks are used in the collection serv-
ice. They were owned by the District
last month at the time Of the big
snowstorm and were in operation on
county roads. The plows were at
tached to the trucks early this morn
ing and put in operation. He said the
snow w-cleaning proposition was not
handled properly last month, but that
now 1t has been systematized.
! The twelve horse-drawn graders
were assigned to the task of opening
ia ten-foot space for vehicles on the
main arteries OF travel other than car
Lines in the area between Pennsyl-
!. vania and Florida avenues.
IL The regular sweeping force Of the
:extras, were put to work clearing the
crosswalks at principal intersections
! Levson in Recent Storm.
Street cleaning officials admit that
the heavy snowfall of last month
taught them a lesson In the necessit,
for preparedness. and the well defined
system under which the men worked
today indicates that snow remova
will be better handled in future.
It is practically certain that tn.
Commissioners will endeavor to have
more mechanical equipment for snow
| removal before next winter.
