collapsed after a visit from two men
who called themselves federal immi-
grafton officers. She was taken to
Nassau hospital. where she refused to
tell whether she had taken poison.
Mrs. Conner, in her home, said she
didn't believe "dear May" had taken
poison. She said she thought she had
been simply overcome by dread-that
she had long feared that she might be
sent back to Canada and separated
from her child.
The wife revealed that since going
to prison Conner has written con-
stantly to both her and his young mis-
tress; letters filed with tender pas
sages.
"He informs me he is still in love
with me, but he also tells May that
she holds all his affections. We read
each others letters when they arrive"
Mrs. Conner said. II used to think
they were both equally responsible in
this affair, but after reading some of
the letters he has sent to the girl /
think he's more than rs per cent to
blame.
However, I believe that May in
way Is responsible for his downfall.
He dissipated once prosperous busi-
ness and was driven to forgery while
laboring under his infatuation for
her."
How II Began.

woman and the engineer began in

Difference in Requirements
Shown in Survey.

Sacramento. Calif.-There are as
many specifications for cutting the
marital knot as there are states in
the Union.
Lawmakers, it would appear from
survey made by the California legis-
lative bureau, do not see alike when
it comes to the question of divorce.
The requirements, as rule, are many
and varied.
In Nevada, where the divorce BUSH
ness is considered in the light of
major industry, a marriage may be
dissolved for anyone who has lived
in the state six weeks. As contrast
ed to this, South Carolina recognizes
no such thing as divorce except by
special legislative act in the Individual
case.
In Tennessee, proceedings may be
based on any one Of IL grounds, while
New York and the District Of Column
bia recognize only charge of inf1del-
ity, and in the latter the defendant
may never remarry. In Pennsylvania.
South Dakota and Tennessee, the de-
PENDANT may not marry the CORE
spondent until after the death of the
plaintiff-an arrangement, incidental
ly, which puts premium on the dis
appearance of the innocent party.
While these points would indicate
that the disagreement over divorce
details is general. the survey points
out that the states do agree on GER
tain matters
With only few noticeable excep-
lions, the states agree that In certain
types of divorce cases the parties
must have resided in the state for at
least one year.
The exceptions range from Nevada,
with its six weeks law. and Idaho
asking three months stay, to Con-
necticut. which requires residence
Of three years. and Massachusetts,
which recognizes only those who have
lived in the state five years.
The survey indicates there is def
mite consensus concerning causes for

Cong. Lonergan To Make Presentation;
 Tribute To State
Bicentennal Commission Awards Work of Art in Honor of Connecticut's Great Progress to Date in Prepar- ing zOOtli Anniversary of First Presidents Birth

creating the United States George washington Bicentennial commis- sion for the purpose of honortng the first president on the two hun dredth anniversary of his birth, it requested, at the same time, that all states cooperate with the Federal Commission in this patriotic enter prise. The presentation of this bust will bring home to the citizens of the State of Connecticut the fact that their state is vital factor in the organization of the coming cele- bration.
 The bust to be presented to Governor Cross Is Q replica or the one made by the great English sculptor of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Joseph Nollekens. It was executed from an original painting by Gilbert Stuart and, in the 130 years of its exis- tence, has been viewed by but few Americans. In fact, many American art critics had never even heard of 1t up to a few months ago. This rare piece of sculpture was brought to the United States by Congress man Sol Bloom, associate director of the United States George Wash- ington Bicentennial commission, when he returned from Europe last summer. The original Is still in Congressman Blooms possession. and is on exhibition at the head quarters of the United States George Washington Bicentennial commis- sion in Washington, D. c.
 Joseph Nollekens became one of the best known sculptors in all Europe. Of Dutch percentage, he was born in London on August II, 1737. On 1760 he went to Rome, where he soon made his mark in the world of art. Twelve years later in 1772, at the early age of thirty five, he became a member of the London Royal Academy.
 His reputation rose steadily, and he made busts of the leading people of his day. Included in his long list of patrons were King George III, the Prince of Wales, Lord Gren- vile, Charles James Fox, Samuel Johnson, and Oliver Goldsmith. In- trigued by the personality and repu- tation of General Washington, Nol- lekens set to work and produced this rare bust.
