JUDGE MAKES PLEA
FOR DIVORCE FEE
Continuation of Arlington
System Urged as Curb
on Mills.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staf Correspondent of Tie Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, May 1O.-A grave situa-
ton faces Arlington County in the res
olution passed on March 6 by the
Arlington County Bar Association, in
which it requested the court to revoke
the order requiring the plaintiff in a d.
vorce suit to pay fee of SIS to cover
the cost of an investigation as to the
legality of residence, Judge Howard w
Smith told the association yesterday at
its monthly luncheon meeting.
Despite the question of the legality of
the order, Judge Smith said he fears
a recurrence of the divorce mills" that
once operated in both Arlington County
and Alexandria If the bars are drop
ped in this or any other way.
Legality at Issue.
AS explained by Charles T. Jesse,
president, and the other members of the
association, the request for a revocation
of the order is not based upon the SIS
fee with which to pay the sheriff for
the investigation, but rather upon the
legality of his evidence after the inveS-
tigation.
Three reasons are set forth in favor
OF the revocation. The first is that his
testimony must necessarily be "hearsay."
The second is that what he has to say
on the stand is opinion evidence" and
the third is that the attorneys for the
plaintiff have no opportunity to cross
examine the people from whom the in
formation is derived.
The members of the bar unanimously
stated that they are no more in favor
of letting down the bars than is
Judge Smith, but the majority, as evil
denced by the passage of the reSolu-
ton, are of the opinion that the pres
ent method is unlawful and that some
more suitable means be found with
which to verify the residences of plain
tiffs.
To Fight Divorce Evil.
In referring to the rule, Judge Smith
said that he would do everything in his
power to prevent recurrence OF the
past divorce evil and would not be a
party to any situation that would bring
1t about.
Whether I take the sheriff's testi-
mony as legal evidence or not" he is
quoted as having said, "it acts as
red flag in putting the court on guard.
If we say that the sheriff's testimony
is not legal evidence and exclude it en-
tirely, the order still permits him to in
vestigate the legality of residence and
produce the actual witnesses in court,
where the judge can himself examine
and croSs-examine them.
There is nothing to prevent the ap-
pointment by the court of an 'anicus
curia'-friend of the court-to make an
investigation and report to the court
the result of the findings" he said.
Speaking in favor of the order, State
Senator Frank l.. Ball said that it
serves to put check on the illegal
granting of divorces, whether it is legal
or not.
Judge Smith said that he wanted
more time to consider the resolution
before passing on the legality of the
order,

Little is heard down here in Seward about the Circle Hot Springs excepting what informa- tion is brought back by residents, such as MT. Swanson, who spent several weeks in the famed Alaska health resort in an endeavor to effect a cure for his rheumatism. From what has been reported his ailment has disappeared almost entirely. But other arrivals from the springs, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Leach, report a land office business was enjoyed the past season and may continue throughout the winter
 Numerous modern improve ments are to be added this win ter, it is said, to the already com fortable and splendid resort

 Another Seward resident who recently had the pleasure of vis- iting the springs and who speaks in the highest of terms of it, is Otto Schallerer. of the Alaska Shop, who recently returned from a three-months photographing trip over the Richardson and Steese and hyWays.

Halls of Montezuma,"
6 Beware!

SINCE the advent of 1.-THE Cock Eyed
World from the literary and melo-
dious heights of moviedom. it is claimed
that its marching song, $50 Long!" has
been adopted by Marines all over the
world as their very own.
This is startling news, indeed, and
lovers of the time -honored Halls of
Montezuma" should be up and doing
before its famous sentiment and tune
fulness are effaced by a newcomer.

in course of production, the story runs

to San Francisco and personally re-
hearSed the Marines of the U. s. s.

ing of the picture. After the produc-
ton was completed the good ship Hen
derson sailed to the waters of the Far
East and the Marines carried their ver-
sion Of the song with them. They had
actually adopted it as their official
song, it is claimed
AS THE Cock-Eyed World" has ar
especial appeal for militaristS like the
U. S. Marines, it is but natural that the
song. with it's formal official indorse-
ment, should attract their attention
and as it is set to a tune that the most
unmuSical ear nigh easily catch, what
more natural than that it should be
quickly picked up by the leathernecks
and so efface the u. S. Marines officia
hymn, "The Halls Of MonteZuma"?

COLLEGE dramatic groups and anna
teur play producing organizations
were assailed as "uncourageous and un-
original" in New Brunswick, N. j., a
few days ago by Barrett H. Clark, q
dramatic editor and author.
If such groups have been doing any
experimenting, Clark declared, they
have been keeping 1t "very quiet"
Woman delegates from 16 Eastern coll
leges, attending the annual conference
of the intercollegiate Dramatic AsSocia-
ton, heard the speaker declare the need
for some group to produce plays which
are "too queer or unconventional" for
presentation in New York. If such
groups will not produce these plays,
Clark questioned, who will do them?'
There Is not one real experimental
theater in the country today, either in
New York or outside of it." he declared
They are feeble limitations of profess
sionals."
Young authors" he continued, must
inevitably become discouraged when
their plays are neither produced noH
published. The experimental theaters
were organized to give these unknown
playwrights opportunities. and now, In
