Springfield, Mass, July LP)-Hor- lace s. Holt of Hartford, Conn.,, di- vision engineer of the New England Telephone and Telegraph company, finds himself in a peculiar situation, Judge Charles L. Long in probate court having decided today that divorce which Holt secured in Yuca- tan, Mexico. Feb. IS. was gained by fraud and is void.
 After the divorce Holt Cabled Miss
 Ann M. Casey of West Springfield to
 go to Mexico where they were mar ried, after which they went to Flor ida, where a civil marriage was per
 formed later. Since that time they have lived in Hartford, Conn. Both
 have friends in Massachusetts but they do not dare remain in this .state together overnight, Holt testi- fled.
 The case was before the probate court on petition Of the wife for separate support, but this was de- .nied because of a previous agree
 ment for support and custody of two minor children which had been exc .cuted with Attorney Paul NJ. Lewis .of Boston before they separated in
 October. 1923.
 A divorce granted by the probate court in Middlesex county had been set aside by the supreme judicial court on the ground that the couple resided in Springfield instead of Lexington at the time the action

FOREIGN DEBTS AND
MONEY MEASURES Are
MAIN JOBS CONGRESS

Washington, Feb. 2s-(AP)--Al-
though moving along In more or less
leisurely fashion, congress gradually
is cleaning up It's slate and should be
able to get away within two months
at the latest.
The foreign debt settlements and
the annual appropriation bills are the
principal items left on the calendar
outside of farm relief and railroad
legislation. The senate has three
election contests to settle but once
these reach the floor they are not ex-
pected to consume great deal Of
time.
The house Is expected to pass the
Watson Parker railroad labor bill to-
morrow and it will be taken up in
the senate in the near future. House
leaders also have two additional ap-
preparation bills down for final ac-
ton this week-those for the indie
pendent Offices and for the state, JUS
tice. commerce and labor depart
ments.
Muscle Shoals probably will occupy
much OF the time OF the senate dur
ing the week, as leaders are deter
mined to have action on the house
resolution creating a congressional
committee to lease the great wartime
nitrate and power plant on the Ten
nessee River.
Chairman Smoot OF the finance
committee plans to ask early action
on the Italian debt settlement, the
only one of the six pending debt set
Elements, on which there Is serious
contest All Of these settlements al
ready have been approved by the
house.
Hearings on farm relief legislation
will be resumed this week by the
house agriculture committee. The
most prominent measure to be taken
up Is the Dickinson bill designed to
take care OF the export surplus Of
the principal farm products.
The house already has passed the
administration cooperative market
ing measure, but the senate agricul-
ture committee still Is to held hear
ings on this and several score other
measures designed to aid the agricul-
ture industry.

Congress Probe
Looms in Chicago
Crime and Politics

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-(AP)-PoSsibil
of congressional investigation of an
alleged alliance between organized
crime and politics in Chicago today
doomed as a political issue likely to
shove the world court question out of
first place in Chicago.
Vice President Dawes yesterday pre-
scented to the Senate a petition from
Chicago Better Government Associa-
ton asking for such an inquiry and
making the charges. While Robert b
Grove, states attorney, and other Of
ficials aimed at In the petition entered
vigorous denials Of the charges and
questioned the integrity of the associ-
alton, there was much speculation to-
day in all political camps as to just
how broad such an investigation. If
authorized. might become.
Among the subjects that admittedly
might be considered were the immigra-
ton problem, elections and bootleg
ging. Since a recent drive was start
ed by the police and federal authori-
ties to round up for deportation alien
gunner and gangsters here. there
have been charges that many gang
sters have been struggled into the
country in violation of the immigra-
ton laws.
Various political factions at differ
ent times have made charges Of ballot
box stuffing through the connivance Of
politicians and gangsters, and this
question also might be involved in
such an investigation which would not
be limited in its scope by the techni-
cal rules OF court evidence. politicians

JAMES w. HANSON
Adjutant General

Inc 1Qeal way IOr increasing the
Maine National Guard, in the opin-
ion of Adjutant General James w.
Hanson. would be to organize a few
units each year-two, three or four
units-until the program contem-
plated by the National Defense Act
OF 1920 is completed.
Adjutant General Hanson pointed
out Saturday that until the recent
authorization of a Service Battery of
four officers and 80 men for the
152nd Field Artillery, no additional
units have been organized in the
Maine Guard since 1922 on account
of lack of sufficient appropriation by
Congress. Under the terms of the
National Defense Act passed by
Congress in 1920. the Maine Guard
will be increased from its present
strength of about 5000 officers and
men to between 400 and 1890 Off
GERS and men, with the following
additions to the present Guard
force:
One Battalion of 75-millimeter
Headquarters Battery and Service
Battery for the 152nd Field Artillery
Regiment.
One Battalion of four batteries
for the 240th Coast Artillery Corps.
One Balloon Company of Army
troops.
One Battalion consisting of Head
quarters battery and two 155-milli-
meter HowitZer firing batteries,
which will be part of the 1I2nd Field
Artillery, New Hampshire also hay-
ing one battalion.
One Military Police Company as
a part of the 43rd Division.

and the other. the 103rd Regiment,

Headquarters of the Medical Regi-
ment. Army troops and several med
zeal units.
General Hanson declared that il
is impossible to predict when this
program will be completed, point
ing out that there is no hope al
present of any increase in the Con-
gressional appropriation for another
year as the appropriation bill which
will be passed by Congress viii take

The aviators covered the distance
in more than an hour less than was
expected. They were guided. it was
said, entirely by the new earth in
ductor compass, a new drift indica-
tor. and other instruments. The di-
rect course accounted in part for the
fast time. averaging 125 miles an

left when they reached Boston.
The new instruments which it was
the purpose of the trip to test out
before they were put into general
use, are expected to prove important
in aviation. They are designed to
enable an aviator to fly out of sight
or the earth on direct course with
out becoming lost. Thus a FLYER
might fly through heavy fog or
climb thousands of feet over a storm
or over clouds and not deviate from
his course.
