Two More Stars
Seek Divorce
Dy United Press Leased Wire


HOLLYWOOD, July S,-Two more
shattered film colony romances will
be recorded in the near future in
the divorce courts, it was learned
here today.
Constance Talmadge and Anita
Stewart will seek severance of their
marital relations, the time and place
as yet being undecided, they both
admitted.
Miss Talmadge has been sepa-
rated from her husband, Captain
Alastair Mac Kintosh, formerly of
the British army, for many months
and the announcement that she
would sue for divorce was not unex-
pectcd here.
Miss Stewart will seek divorce
from Rudy Cameron Bremen. of
Washington, D. c., on the grounds
of incompatibility. They have been
married eight years.
Miss Talmadge probably will base
her suit on dcsertion and neither
case is expected to be of sensa-

FIGHTING
CONTINUES
AT 0P0RT0
Rebels We're Reported to
Have Surrendered, But Re-
newed Warfare Denies This

London, Feb. 7.--LP)- Despite Off
cial announcement in Lisbon of the
surrender of the forces at OportO.
which revolted against the regime of
President Carmonia last Thursday,
dispatches received early this after
noon indicated that fighting had been
resumed.
The delay in transmission and the
fragmentary character. Of the dis
patches indicated that a rigid CEN
sorship was being exercised by the
Portuguese authorities.
The official communique telling Of
the surrender. said it took place at Z
o'clock last night and that column
of loyal troops was pursuing several
fleeing rebel leaders.
BOmbardment Resumed
A Reuter- message later said the
bombardment of the city had been re-
sumed with intensity at 1O:3O y. M.
and that there were number of
killed among the casualties. Owing
to censorship delays. it was not clear
whether this referred to the fighting
yesterday or was filed after the Off
cial notification Of surrender.
Subsequent dispatches through
Havas, the semi-official French news
agency in Paris, quoted the Portu-
guese war minister as saying in q
formal statement that the rebels had
refused to accept the conditions i'm
posed and that the bombardment had
been reopened. Firing began only
after issuance of proclamation re-
questing the civil population Of Opor-
to to leave the city.
These DISPATCHES added that rein
forcements were being rushed to
Oporto, where it was reported the
bombardment had caused q number Of
fires. which were spreading. It was
also asserted that restlessness was in
creasing in Lisbon, the Portuguese
capital.

LEGISLATIVE
MILL TO SOON
HIT TOP SPEED
Prospects Bright For Fairly
Early Completion of Large
Amount Of Work

With the legislative session lit
tie more than half completed pros
poets are bright for fairly early
completion of the work, according to
the presiding officers Of the house
and senate.
Speaker John w. Carr has been
bending his efforts toward getting
the house calendar in the best shape
possible and feels that results to
date have been fairly satisfactory.
Lieutenant Governor Walter Mad
dock is certain that the senate will
be able to do it's work within the
6O-day limit without much trouble.
Because it is smaller and more
compact body, and possibly because
there are fewer members to make
speeches, the senate transacts its
business much more swiftly than the
house and Maddox is not afraid Of
the upper body being showed under
by the press Of work. Its affairs
generally are in good shape now.
he said.
When the 200 mark was reached
in the number of house bills the
lover body was 20 bills ahead of the
record made by the last assembly,
which considered $50 measures in
troduced in the house alone. II the
same number Of bills is presented
aE this session it means that more
than 100 bills will come in within the
next few days.
With the exception Of few bills
which may come in through the de-
layed bills committee, the work Of
the session will have then been map
ped out and the legislative machine
will be speeded to the limit Tor the
final dash to the end Of the session.

Street Car Line

Lines for an anti-evolution CON
test were laid here Saturday when
Rep. l.. o. Richardson Of Adams
county introduced Il bill to bar from
the schools any doctrine which
teaches that man is of other than
divine origin.
Violation of the act is termed u
misdcmeanor and it provides fine
Of not less than $25 or more than
500 for each offcnsc.
The bill makes it unlawful to
'teach any theory that denies the
study of the divine creation of man
as taught in the Bible or to teach
instead that man has descended
from Il lower order of animals, or to
teach what is commonly under stood
to be the theory OF evolution or
Darwinism."
Richardson brought the bill with
him when he came to Bismarck at
the opening of the assembly bu;
was understood to have been persuad-
ed not to introduce it. It is the only
bill he has presented at this ses-
sion.
The house moved rapidly Saturday,
killing three house bills and passing
ten house bills and five senate bills
which now 70 to the governor for

Permits Horse Racing
Senate bills passed by the house
included one permitting horse rae
ing ut fairs or picnics conducted by
fair associations and one requiring
