EASIER DIVORCE
 LAWS DISCUSSED
Live in New York, Get Freed in
 Sonora, Mexico

El Paso, Texas. March 2i P>- Lito in New York and get your di- vorce in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
 This Is ono Of the provisions of the new easy divorce laws of that state that Is expected 10 may heavy inroads into the Paris and Reno di- yorce business, according to Max well NJ. Wallach, New York lawyer, who has just returned from Nogales, Sonora, where he made q thorough investigation Of the new divorce code.
 Mr. Wnllach found that the law requires no legal residence and that in most cases it is not even neces- sary for either of the parties to ap- pear in the proceedings, as all de- tails can be arranged hy proxy.
 He found that there are 12 grounds for divorce and that these are so broad as to meet the re- quircmonts Of tho most whimsical and can be obtained at a cost of about a one-way dc luxe stcam- ship ticket to Paris,
 Another attractive feature in that were the husband and wife have heen living apart for more than 800 days, q new husband or wife may he acquired as soon as the de- rrec Is signed. Tn other cases 800 lays must clapse. This provision is for the protection Of a child that may be born after q divorce has been granted Mr, Wallach said. In all cases, he said, the period of separation before the divorce is arantcd is credited upon the 800 Jays.
 Mir. Wallach said that although few Americans so far have taken Advantage Of the new laws, that he expected Sonora soon to ou'-strip Paris and Reno as a divorce center.
 'Why go 10 Paris or Reno where sjN months residence Is required when only 45 days is required 10 get q divorce in Sonora 2" he asked. And this may be accomplished without event leaving your own country"

wireless message from the COM

Alaska. saying that Captain George
Fl. Wilkins. and his pilot Ben Eielson
Of the Detroit Arctic expedition,
were safe at that point after being
missing for IS days, was received to-
day by H. Liebes and Company, fur
riers.
The message said: will need
twenty tons of coal extra as we are
using quantity keeping the motors
warm. Wilkins and party are stop

The coal will be sent here next
week on the steamer Charles Brow

Wilkins is a close friend of Charles
Brewer, the agent who sent the mes
sage.
Wilkins accompanied Stefanssen
on one expedition which stopped at
the Point Barrow station of the fur
company.
There Is broad lagoon at our
station which is covered with ice at
this time of year." Arnold Liebes Of
the Liebes Company said. This has
been swept clear and staked with
flags to assist Captain Wilkins in
making his landing.

has plenty of gasoline. We have
a supply at the post which we could
give him in pinch, but it is not air.

Liebes said that there are eight or
nine whites living at Point Barrow,
and about 400 natives. and all have
been looking forward to the return of
the exploring party.
A week ago Liebes received let

carried in his airplane from Point
Barrow to Fairbanks. The letter
was in transit II days, the quickest
known time that such a missive has
been carried from the far north
trading post to San Francisco. Had
not Wilkins taken it to Fairbanks, il

METHODISTS VOTE
TO UPHOLD WORD
OF COMMITTEE

Rockland, Me-, Apr. 29.-(P-
The Maine Methodist Conference to-
day voted, 80 to 10, in favor of the
committee report on re-districtins
the conference. After a spirited two
hours debate the matter was taken
under advisement by Bishop William
f. Anderson.
The report was presented BY Rev.
A. G. Goddard. ID. d., of Portland,
who said that the boundaries of the
present districts were not designed
to meet present conditions. and that
under the suggested arrangement all
of the districts would be more COM
pact. The plan contemplated Lew
iston and Waterville, rather than
Augusta and Rockland districts.
The opposition was largely on the
ground that no useful purpose would
be secured, that the conference
should not change districts merely
to suit the convenience of the dis
trict superintendent and that the
present names should be retained for
sentimental purposes If for no other
reason.
Rev. Henry E. Leach, a supernu-
merary pastor, was restored to the
active ministry and transferred to
Cochituate, Mass, in the New Eng
land Conference.
