LONG INSPECTION
TOUR IS ORDERED
Assistant Secretary of War
and General Harboard to
Visit Outlying Posts

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. (By the
Associated Press)-Secretary Weeks
has decided on Assistant Secretary
Wainwright and Major General Har-
board, deputy chief of staff, to make
a 1000 mile journey through some of
the scattered army commands to es-
tablish 9 closer relationship and I'M
derstanding between those in the
field service, the departments eXecu-
tive chiefs, and military officers here
Other reasons for the decision were
said today to rest in the secretary's
desire for first hand information con-
corning the regular army personnel,
the national guard forces and men,
bers of the organized reserves and to
aid the department in welding these
three components into one harmoni-
Gus structure.
To Probe All Courts
Need has been felt by some Off
cials, despite progress made last year
of developing the three forces into n
single efficient machine, able in time
of national emergency, to function
quickly for defensive purposes, and
to expand rapidly.
The secretary also has manifested
a keen interest in the personnel and
welfare CT the regular troops. When
ever corrections may be needed, it is
expected they will be discovered and
remedies quickly applied as result
of the visit of Wainwright and Cen
eral Harboard. In this connection,
it was said, the system of courts
martial and administration of mill
tary justice would be given particu-
lar attention.
Wainwright will travel as Weeks
personal representative rather than
as assistant secretary.
Other arr activities to be given
attention include schools for officers
and men at Camp Benning, Ga, and
at Fort Riley, Kan.
To Train Civilians
General Harboard also will devote
himself to a study of the orgaDiza-
ton work of the cavalry division now
being perfected on the Mexican bor-
der. while both officials will inquire
into the possibilities OF civilian mill
tary training. 1t is planned to open
instruction camps next summer on a
larger scale than has been attempted
since the war. Preparations already
are being made to accommodate
about 100000 civilians.
The officials will begin their Jour-
ney Saturday, going to Camp Knox,
Ky. They will leave next Monday for
Atlanta and Columbus, Ga. From
there, they will go to New Orleans,
leaving Friday night for Houston,
Tex.
Galveston, Brownyille and Laredo,
Tex, will be visited between the 18th
and 18th, and be followed by visits
to McAllen, Sam Fordyce, San An
tonic, Harrington, Fort Clark, Del Rio,
FL Paso and Fort Worth, Tex, after
which the itinerary will lead them to
Fort Sill, Okla, Kansas City, Mo-,
Forts Leavenworth and Riley, Kan.
They will go to Chicago next and re-
turn here about February 6.

MARY'S DIVORCE:
AGAIN At Tackled
Nevada Official Says Movie
Favorite Employed Deceit
in Obtaining Decree

CARSON CITY, New, Jan. 8
Mary Pickford's divorce from Owen
Moore was 1.-The worst of its kind and
should be the last of its kind" Attor-
ney General l.. B. Fowler uecsareG Ill
a closing brief filed in the supreme
court here today in his action to
have the decree set aside.
Miss Pickford was granted her de-
cree at Minden, New, aMrch 20, 1920,
and in short time married Douglas
Fairbanks in Los Angeles. Miss Pick
ford, Moore and Fairbanks a:e mo-
ton picture stars. When Fowler at
tackled the divorce, Attorney Gavin
McNab of San Francisco asserted for
the defense that the attorney gen.
erals move violated every principle
OF institutional government" and
was the first of its kind and should
be the last of its kind"
Deceit and Trickery"
mo language can be found in any
law that can be tortured into giving
an excuse for the untruthful testi-
mony of respondent and the fraudu-
len decree awarded her - reason or
such testimony" Fowler declared IN
trickery to overthrow law would PC
akin to anarchy"
Argument in the Pickford case was
set for January 80 by the supreme
court.
Miss Pickford swore that she was
resident of 'NeYadaSanc that sne
had no other home, the attorney gen.
erals brief said. yet" it aduen,
from the very day on which the de-
cree was granted, she has been be-
yond the boundaries of the state Oh
Nevada and is now battling in the
Nevada courts, contending that s;Ic
and her fraudulent decree cannot be
reached by the courts of Nevada be-
cause she has fled from their jur1s-
diction
When her counsel champions
wrong, they cannot contend that they
are inspired by high moral and ethi-
cal principles. When they denounce
the attorney general for opposing UNI
lawful and outrageous methods, they
have assumed an attitude w:l.ca, If
universally accepted, would lead to
universal disrespect of law.
Says Law Was Ignored
The legislature has determined in
what divorce cases jurisdiction will
exist in the Nevada courts Can this
determination be overthrown by false
testimony, fraud and collision?
I'VE believe it is a safe statement
to make that no other attorney gen.
eral ever had divorce case present
ed to him where there has been such
untruthful evidence given for the pur-
pose OF leading court OF this state
to hold that it has jurisdiction when
in reality the jurisdiction did not
exist.
IF married parties may, by false
testimony, collision or fraud, obtain
q. divorce by the methods pursued in
this case, there can be no value con-
nected with the long-established prin-
c:ple that marriage and divorce are
controlled by law. Then law must De
set aside to satisfy the individual
wishes of the marriage contract.
Then the sovereignty of the state will
be defied, its courts contemptuously
abused, society impaired and the fam
lily and home disrupted"

truth could never come out"
Mrs. Lindsay also said Burch
talked with her about his wife,
who has since been granted a IN
Vorce.
He said his wife was a very
admirable and lovely woman anc
had a beautiful character in ev-
cry way" Irs Lindsey saio.
Several defense Witnesses testi-
fled Burch told them his WIFE
had tried to kill him, explaining
they believed this to have been
a delusiOn on the part of the pris-
oner.
The afternoon session was in
terrupted while Mrs. Obenchain
was brought into court by agree
ment of counsel and the date for
her trial advanced from February
10 TO February 6, next.
