SHUN
SECRECY over
DIVORCE PLEA
They Want Cases Heard in
Open Court, So Judge
Nelson Has to Abandon
Plan.

SKOGEE.-Petitions for divorce
filed in the district court will not be
referred to n referee but will be heard
in the same old way by Judge Guy f.
Nelson or one of the other judges In
the district court. The lawyers don't
want to have any change In the even
tenor Of divorce proceedings so there
will be no change, said Judge Nelson
this morning.
II was a disappointment 10 Judge
Nelson to find that the bar and per.
haps many OF the people applying
for the decree did not take kindly to
his suggestion for the referee method
Of hearing family troubles that lead
to a breach OF the bond between man
and wife.
1t Is more than n month now since
Judge Nelson proposed that cases be
tried in private by referees appointed
by the court at times and places ar.
ranged between attorneys and ref.
crecs.
No Applications Received
Not single application was TO.
ceived for the trial OF n divorce case
under the referee system. according 10
Judge Nelson. The appointment OF q
referee or referees was TO have been
made December 81. but attornys said
that although they may have to wait
FOR the hearings Of their cases FOR some
weeks they prefer to nave the hear
ings IN open court where they know
whore "a expect the matter to be dis
posed of and where little timo will
be consumed In dlsposlng Of the cases
The question Of cost, too, probably
contributed towards the failure OF
the plan TO gain approval. said the
judge, An additional cost ot s. to
pay thc referee hearing the cases
would have been charged. Many pco
pie applying Tor dccrces have not the
necessary five"
FLAMES Bar and Press
Newspapers and lawyers have made
divorce proceedings tho most dls,astc
ful OF any Kind OF legal business tina,
comes before tho district court. accord
ing to Judge Nelson.
A lawyer viii pcstcr a Judge with
little things In a divorce case that h,
would not consider IN any other cas-,
that involved half million dollars
he said. They want orders mad,
about monographs and cows and
flivycrs and all sorts Of family trou
blcs, Many may be forced to do Il
not think Of making themselves q
nuisance In other eases as they do Ia
divorce eases
Newspapers are as bad as lawyers .
said the judge. Tho reporters hans
around and play up the sensational
far beyond what In right. II the,
would publish only the names Of IN,
parties involved and the decision o
the Judge that would be all right.
People don't want to read thai
stuff. he added and Il shouldn't b,
printed. Newspapers arr wrong IL
thinking they are giving readers wha

WANT ARSENAL
TO MAKE BIDS
FOR BUSINESS
Machinists' Association Submits
Plan to Congress to Have Public
Plants Compete for Orders.

Government arsenals and navy
yards including the Rock Island
arsenal would be kept booming and
the taxpayers of the country would
be saved 100000, 900 year, the In
ternational Association of Machin-
lists declare, by a plan submitted to
congress for full utilization OF the
facilities OF these yards for the
manufacture OF peace time require
ments.
The plan proposes that the pub
lie plants shall bid against private
plants for orders. 1t is set forth
that the plan gives the civilian en-
ployes at arsenals and navy yards
chance for steady employment If
they prove so efficient that the pub
lie plants can underbid the private
plants.
Interdepartmental cooperation
and interplant rivalry would be en-
couraged and the efficiency of the
plants, for both peace and war time
use, greatly increased, it is stated.
Variety of Equipment.
The proposal is based upon engi-
neering analysis of navy yard and
arsenal capa city, to fill government
requirements, not only for NUM-
lions of war but for paint, rope,
electrical equipment, clothing, steel,
furniture, engines, motor trucks,
road machinery dredging machin-
cry, boilers, cutlery, -four bags.
brief cases, harness, and a thousand
other things.
THE plan will greatly Tighten the
taxpayers burden for such pre-
paredness for war as congress may
provide" the house naval affairs
committee was told by the consult
ing engineer for the machinists, o.
S. Boyer, Jr., of the labor bureau,
inc.
AT the same time that the cost
of preparedness is made less its
value will be made greater. This
greater value will come from better
organization, higher efficiency of
labor and administration, and main
tenance OF plants in better acondi-
ton. Furthermore, the danger of
war will be made less by elimina-
ton of private profit from the man
ufacture of munitions of war"
Federal Plants Best.
ct is not common knowledge
that army and navy manufacturing
plants are more efficient than pri-
yate plants, but it is true" said
President William II. Johnston Of
the International Association Of Ma
chinists.
The arsenais are S1.3 per cent
efficient. compared with Ills per
cent efficiency of private plants in
the metal trades, and the navy
yards are S4.S per cent efficient -
he asserted.
The measurement of efficiency in
private plants was made by the
engineering study of the Federated
American Engineering societies and
is contained in the report on Waste
in Industry The valuation of eff
cheney in government plants has
been made by precisely the same
formula by Mr.. Boyer of. the labor
bureau"
