as to whether the government had a

Sonora Divorce Mill
Grinding Steadily Now
Continued from rage one)


Arturo De La Toro, former Amer
lean and daddy of the Sonora di-
vorce law, in it's modified form, has
stated that the Mexican law is the
finest in the world He stands by
that declaration today as staunchly
as he did when the governor APP
pended his signature to the legal
document.
The Sonora divorce law isn't so
quick in action itself. 1t merely
provides means for dissatisfied mar
ried persons to- facilitate the sever
ing of marital relations And in
that respect, attorneys point out, it
IS several jumps ahead of Nevada
and other meccas for the get-di-
vorced-quick enthusiasts.
1t is the preparation of the papers
that takes time. Sometimes it takes
year, sometimes only a few days.
The papers must stand on their own
merits in the Sonora courts where
a blind-folded lady, decked out in a
flowing robe, holds forth the scales
of justice just as reassuringly as
she does in American courts.
The papers prepared, then the di-
voree law gets in it's prize ticks.
The final decree is available in any
where from seven to forty days.

RUNS ON WET TICKET

WASHINGTON, March 23.-FranK
j. Kelly, formerly in charge OF llq-
uor case prosecutions in Washing
ton, will be a candidate for the re-.
publican nomination for the United
States senate in Wisconsin this iall
on light wine and beer platform,
the Washington Post will say to-
morrow, quoting him as expressing
the belief that enforcement of pro-
hibition is impossible.
Kelly for four years supervised
prosecution of prohibition cases here,
under District Attorney Gordon and
is credited with establishing rec
ord for convictions. He will be
candidate for the Anti Tax League
of America, which is described as
having as it's central idea the rails
ing of sufficient revenue from wines
and beer to abolish federal and state
income taxes.
my four years experience and my
subsequent observations convince me
that thinking people of this country
are overwhelmingly against prohibit
ton and becoming more so every
hour" he said
Though 1 obtained convictions as
high as SO per cent over a six
months period in the district, l
never found it possible to keep even
a portion of the national capital
relatively dry. The prohi-
bition law, in my opinion, has not
been enforced, it is not now being
enforced and never will be eforced
in the United States, in the ruraldis-
tricts, in any single city, or in the
national capital"

Mine LANDS in
AREA TAKE ON
MUCH ACTIVITY

The following mining notes are of
fered by The Dispatch for those in
terested in the increased activity in
this section in re-worling old mines
and opening up new ones.
They were listed rapidly Tuesday
by a mining man who was in this
city and who has been making u
survey of the mining conditions in
this vicinity
The Gold Hill Mining company,
owned by Carlton Brothers of Cripple
Creek, have dug down 11S feet and
have drift that cuts S5 feet Of

hoist, compressor and equipment on
the ground and has a working force
of eight of ten men at the present
time. AL Osberg is in charge.
The Little Mildred" the mining
property north of the Gold Hill Min
ing company, has struck high-grade
gold bearing ore at a depth of 80
feet. A force of men is working
there.
A Denver outfit has purchased from
AL Fitch the Red Hill" mining prop
erty and has moved a hoist out to do
deeper sinking and shipping. The
ore goes 80 to 40 per cent in lead.
The Little Hacket Mining company
four miles north of Gold Hill, has
been doing considerable work, and
have 100 tons of ore on the dump
North of this is the old Hachita
mine with 100000 worth of milling
machinery running 100-ton ball
mill and concentration.
AL Fitch has just located mining
property called the "Christmas Mine"
1t is situated four miles northeast of
Hachita and is an old mine worked

Shallow Grave of T.
Glasgow Is Discovered
CONTINUED From Page one1

charge of violating the prohibition
law arc is expected to be formally
charged with the murder.
One of the most painstaking
searches ever conducted in the coun-
ty last winter failed to disclose the
body Of Glasgow who disappeared
the night before Christmas, leaving
his little cabin blood drenched. Cow
boy posses searched the rugged
trails, mechanics probed a deeB
shaft well on the Glasgow property,
chemists analysed blood clots and ex-
perts examined bloody finger prints,
but their efforts failed to disclose
the body. Wagner, who had been held
three weeks on suspicion, was re-
leased.
John Shell, riding through a ra-
vine about two miles from Wagner's
cabin and twsce that distance from
the Glasgow place saw a grave in
the sand. He reported the discovery
to a road camp foreman who Sc
cured Identification of the body from
neighborlng ranchers and reported
it to the sheriff's office. The long
search for the body was based on
a veritable network of tracks made
by Wagner's automobile over the
flats and gulches Of the vicinity
of Bundle Bee The tracks were
identified through four dissimilar
tires. A trail of blood led for a few
rods from the cabin, pointing in
the direction of the grave.
Wagner was found Christmas morn
ing at Glasgow's cabin, loading
Glasgow's furniture into his own
car from the bloodstained rooms. Pre-
viously he had secured the arrest
of Glasgow on a charge of claim
jumping. When he was released he
remarked to Deputy Sheriff Ryan,
"if l ever turn UP missing, arrest
Charles Wagner for my murder"

PINCHoT OFFERS AID

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 20
Another move to halt illegal diver
sion of alcohol by use of federal
permits was launched by Governor
Pinchot today when he sent Secre-
tary Mellon lists of Philadelphia
permit holders, who he charged have
been guilty of numerous violations
of the prohibition laws during the
last three years. The governor made
public the letter but not the list.
Should you desire further informa-
ton, shall be glad to put at the
service of your self or of General
Andrews the men who have gather
ed this information and who can
show where the facts alleged can
be both substantiated and supple
mented," the governor wrote.
The data submitted included a
list of 81 permitted manufacturers
who, the governor declared, have
been guilty "of least of 59S viola
tions during the last three years.
and of ten distillers, bonded ware
houses, denaturing plants and bonded
dealers who, he said, also have vio-
lated the law and should not re-
ceive new permits to replace those
which expire March 81.
The governor declared that, if
permits should be refused the manu-
facturers, the alcohol available for
bootlegging purposes in Philadelphia
would be cut approximately 1,500,-
900 gallons a year and that refusal
of permits to the ten distillers and
dealers would reduce the amount
something like 100000 gallons each
year"

CHANGE In sENrIMENT.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3D.
comparison of the record-breaking
national referendum on prohibition
conducted by NEA service and a sim
liar poll taken by the Literary Di-
gest in 1922 shows a large increase
in the percentage of voters not in
favor of the present prohibition law.
During this four-year period, the
strength of the modificationists and
the repealers has been increased con-
siderably, if these comparative rig
ures may be taken as criterion.
The Literary Digest poll brought
in more than 100000 votes on the
same questions propounded in the
NEA service referendum and thus it
offers an admirable basis for COM
parison. 9
A Comparison
The results and percentages of the
Digest's poll were:
Prohibition ...356,193 1855 per cent?
Repeal ....... .189,856 COS per cent?
Modification 80. 376,S34 (4O.8 per cent?
Total .922,3S3
In the present: poll, which is still
far from complete, the, results and
per cottages are as follows:
Prohibition ....257,97S (18.0 per cent?
Repeal ....... .447,322 1920 per cent?
Modification ...6S4.114 600 per cent?
Total Il ,3S9,4O9 .n
The comparisons of safes accord
ing to their geograp hica1 locations
also brings out some interesting facts.
The Digest made the following
groupings-New England states, Mid
die Atlantic states, East North Cen
trail states, West North Central states,
East South Central states, West South
states, South Atlantic states, Noun
tain states and Pacific states. For
the purposes of comparison, a table
has been drawn up today listing
today's totals in the same manner
alongside The Digest's tabulation.
Four years ago the drys gained
pluralities in four divisions-the East
North Central, West North Central,
East South Central and West South
Central regions. The territory in
cluded in these four divisions may
be said to constitute the backbone of
the prohibition movement. 1t COM
prises the great middle west and
most of the south.
One Dry Plurality
Only one of these divisions has a
dry plurality in the present poll
the East South Central division, in
which are Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Mississippi. The others
have left the drys far in the rear.
The East North Central group, for
example, which includes Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, gave prohibition 1862; repeal.
34961, and modification, 1880, in the
Digest's poll. In this poll, to date,
these states totals are: for prohi-
bition, 51,O93; for repeal, 95,478; for
modification, 135,9S7.
The results in other localities are
significant, too. In the Pacific states
California, Washington and Oregon
the Digest found 1888 dry voters,
1854 for repeal and 32,047 for modi
fication In the present poll these
states, to date, have voted 29,972 for
prohibition, 3S,456 for repeal and 10S,-
625 for modification. The prohibit
ton vote is just about as it was
four years ago; the repeal vote has
more than tripled and the modifi-

cities and from rural districts that
the result of the vote is worth NOT
ing,
The smaller cities and rural regions
are extremely well covered in this
poll Almost without exception, the
small cities and country towns par
ticipating in the poll, have voted far
more heavily, in prohibition, than the
big cities. In any number of eases
the vote cast compares very favor
ably with the average vote at a
regular election.
About half of these smaller cities
voted dry, but in all the modifica
tion strength was surprising.
