MIXED WEATHER
REPORTED FROM
MIDWEST AREA

CHICAGO, May 6. (U.P)-Winter
returned to scattered areas in the
Mississippi Valley today causing
damage to orchards, gardens and
early crops.
Temperatures throughout the ter
ritory began a slide downward late

While snow and hail storms
touched sections OF the midwest
yesterday, heat wave swept the
Lake Michigan region bringing tenn
peratures that ranged from 70 to
S5 degrees.
Frank Brangel, 80, the years
first heat victim in Chicago, fell
dead while spading a garden. Po-
liceman Thomas OMalley collapsed
while on duty.
Storms were reported in the ter
ritory from Colorado to Iowa and
from Kansas to Minnesota.
A Kansas hailstorm caused an
estimated loss of 20,0O0,000 bushels
of wheat. So severe was the storm
that it virtually moved down thou
sands OF acres of grain. Large stones
shattered windows and killed Jack
rabbits.

CITY ELECTION

RENO. New, May 6. U.P)-Mayor
E. E. Roberts, reelected by big ma
jority on his platform of continued
liberality for Reno, joined the di-
vorce colony today in celebrating a
new civic regime founded on the
principle of everybody do as he
pleases."
Closing his campaign as the rush
of divorces under the new six weeks
residence law reached its height,
Mayor Roberts easily led his two op-
ponents at the polls and guaranteed
for the city another administration
of equal rights to the carefree."
The municipal election yesterday
switched public attention and the
divorce business suffered In conse-
quence.
Judges Benjamin Curler and
Thomas Moran were prepared for a
crowded docket such as Mondays,
when 83 degrees were granted, but
the election came first, and so only
81 cases were ready for trial.
Most of these were crossed off the
calendar when it was found the de-
PENDANTS had not appeared or sub
mitted to service. They were placed
on the default docket, which permits
plaintiffs to secure divorces SO days
after the publication of notice in
local newspapers. Other cases were
put over until the regular "washday''
next Monday.

PHOENIX HOME
IS TARGET FOR
BOMB HURLINC

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 6. U.p)-
The life of John Blair, 18, son of
Donald Blair, president of a local
mortgage investment company, was
probably saved last night when a
bomb thrown at the Blair home
struck q palm tree and exploded Is
feet from the front door.
Blair and his wife were in Tucson.
The home was dark, John being the
only occupant.
The explosion was heard for three
miles. The palm tree was shattered
but the house was not damaged as
the tree was between it and the
bomb.
Police hunted in the yard for seve-
raj hours but failed to find a frag-
ment of the bomb.
Neighbors reported that a touring
car drove down Central avenue and
paused in front of the Blair place
for moment just prior to the blast.
A description of the automobile was
not obtained.
Blair, who returned from Tucson
today, was unable to give police any
reason or motive for the act.
The path of the bomb as traced
by police showed that 1t would have
landed in the front doorway had it
not become lodged in the leafy top
Of the palm tree.

MINISTER'S DIFFER IN VIEWS
ON NEVADA'S DIVORCE LAWS

in the course of survey, which
though showing sentiment against
the Nevada divorce system, never
theless registered sharp difference

First Humanist society, expressed
unequivocal approval of the Reno
courts, while DR.. Eliot White, Epis-
copal clergyman, announced him.
self as definitely in favor of more
flexible divorce laws than obtain II
most states.
Reno is disgracing all America,
DR.. Reisner said. Reno is cheap
ening marriage by short order di.
vorces and undermining the home
which is the heart of the nation
Reno Is alone consistent with the
Goddess Soyiets; it is wholly foreign
to q Christian nation. It enthrones
the flesh and denies the power ol
the spiritual without which real love
never exists.
'It exalts conveniences over anc
against duty. It approximates max
ing marriage legalized prostitution
If it becomes general it will spell
national destruction as it did in
Rome"
DR.. Potter, however, viewed the
matter differently.
II find it difficult" he said. "to
conjure up any righteous excite
ment about the fact that it is pos
sible to get divorce in Reno in 10
minutes. The average marriage
ceremony takes less time than that
A justice of the peace Ga rather in

perform four marriages in 10 min
utes. You have to reside in Reno
six weeks before you can get a di-
vorce, but you can get married in
almost any city within half hour
after arrival.
This Reno situation shows that
women are still so moral that when
they cannot stand one man any
longer and wish to try another, they
still conform to the morality which
says that they should be legally di-
vorced from No. / before they marry

GARRISON ALIBI
SUPPORTED BY
new WITNESSES
Story Of Accused Man In
San Diego Crime Grows
Stronger.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 6. U.P)-
Investigation of the murder of Miss
Hazel Bradshaw, who was stabbed
to death in Balboa Park last Sum-
day, today had further strengthened
the story of her 32-year-old suitor,
Moss e. Garrison, according to po-
lice.
John Denny reported to authori-
ties he had seen man and a wom-
an walking in Balboa Park near
the Indian village at l1:30 p. m.
Saturday. Their general description
answered that of Miss Bradshaw
and Garrison, police said.
Denny told the police he was driv-
ing past the Indian village at that
time and saw the couple was walk
ing toward an entrance to the vii
lage, which would be in the direc-
ton of the downtown section of
San Diego.
Garrison's story of his move
ments on Saturday night cores
pond to that told by Denny with
the exception that Garrison said he
passed the Indian village at 1880
p. IN. walking to the girls house,
which would be in an opposite direc-
tion to that given police by Denny.
Twenty minutes elapsed between
the time Garrison was supposedly
seen by Denny and the time he
boarded street car after leaving
| Miss Bradshaw at her home. police
said.
An effort is now being made to
find someone who saw Garrison
walking alone from 80 p. m. until
the time he boarded the street car
in order to corroborate the suspects
story.
Police are also searching for the
knife that was used in connection
with the crime and for blood stained
clothes on the theory that Miss
BradshaW's slayer could not have
committed the crime without having
stained his clothing.

ROOSEVELT AND
HOOVER DEBATE
MAY Be STAGED
Indiana Leaders In Both
Political Parties Pre-
pare For 1892.

WASHINGTON, May 6. W.P)-
President Hoover and the leading
Democratic contender for his White
House throne, Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt of New York, may
soon stage what amounts to 1882
presidential campaign debate.
Shades of Lincoln and Douglas
are being raised by Indiana Demo-
Gratis, who are trying to get Roose-
velt to come to their meeting in
Gary about the same time Mr.
Hoover addresses the Indiana Re-
publican Editorial association CT
indianapolis, June Is.
The scene for such a stump clash
could not be better chosen. At this
early date it looks as if the 80 cam.
paign may hinge upon the situation
in the central states OF Ohio, In.
diana and Illinois.
An interesting feature of the
proposed arrangement is that Mr.
Hoover will greet Republican edi-
tors in Democratic stronghold
Indianapolis, while Roosevelt is
asked to speak to the Democrats IN
a hotbed of Indiana Republicanism
at Gary.
II the arrangement is fulfilled
the two speeches will be compared
with as critical an eye by politicel
observers as if they occupied the
same platform. 1t would be expect
ed to afford a line on the possible
issue and the stump campaign
should Roosevelt get the Democratic
nomination. That Mr.. Hoover will
win the Republican nomination is
the general belief of observers here.
