PROVIDENCE, r. l., May 10
Many couples illegally separated by

eral SisSon who is directing an in
uuiry that has already resulted in 33
indictments. says that the particular
mill under fire parted zoo persons H.
legally. and that many of these have
remarked or are abroad.
Presumably their marital status
will be unaffected unless they return
20 Rhode Isla nd. That is improba BILE,
because they were non-residents and
obtained their divorces on tictitional
or technical domicies. 1t is estimated
that no less than $500, 600 has passed
into the Golfers of the manipulators
OF the divorce mill, the price being
$4,000 a decree. A boast that he OBJ
tained that sum is credited by the at
torney general to one lawyer under
indictment.
Leonard Horton and Francis Z.
Dougherty, lawyers, are in jail as the
result of the inquiry. Twenty-slN III
dictments were returned against them,
and they were unable TO obtain bond.
In addition seven secret indictments
have been returned against non-resi-
dents. principally New Workers, who
gave alleged perjured testimony.
Rhode Islands divorce situation
tends itself readily to the operations
of divorce mills. Hearings are in Sc
cret Neither party to divorce suit
need be present. Dispositions are seal
ed after a hearing.
While the law requires an unin-
terrupted domicile of two years before
a person can obtain divorce. Hor-
Ton and Dougherty are credited with
having used the addresses of city
parks, automobile showrooms, vacant
lots and the like as the homes of their
clients.

William Hard, WCAP's political
prophet and Washington Times
correspondent, bid his radio audi
ence goodbye last night until. fall.
Frederic William Vile will do the
same in a few days from WRC.
Thus local fans are deprived OF
the only consistently good talks
which local stations have regularly
h eduled, during the winter
months, and the birth Of good mate
rial for summer broadcasting is
once more in the foreground.
One by one the regular features
of the winter season have dropped
away. Orchestra, speakers, and

summer, leaving a mere skeleton
from which daily programs muCt
be moulded.
Only the service bands, the army,
navy and marine organizations re-
main, and they are doing triple

If the stations hope to keep their
audience through these hot days
something must be done. More at
tractive programs must be ar
ranged. The same bands and so

Hard's farewell was not spoken
by himself. His talk which he had
planned to give was read by Will

the Introductory announcement, and
when we heard Hard's words COM

very different from Hard's, we were

The little affair showed, however,
