COURTS ACTION
ATTACKS NEVADA
DIVORCE DECREE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19.-(U.P)
Legality of Nevada divorces was
attacked anew today in a decision
handed down by Superior Judge
William S. Baird.
Judge Baird awarded a decree
of divorce to Sarah Edna Owen
on her complaint that Charles E.
Owen took advantage of the lib
eral Nevada laws and evaded sum-
mons in her own case by going to
Reno and securing a decree for
himself in six week period, while
she was awaiting the legal 80 day
limit in California to gain her own
freedom.
"It is obvious" said Judge Baird,
from the defendants action, that
he left Los Angeles with the ex-
press intention of escaping the
jurisdiction in California courts
Authorities pointed out that
there was little chance of mutual
consent divorces, favored in mo-
ton picture circles, granted in Ne
vada, being attacked. Only in con-
tested divorces will the legality of
the states liberal laws be attacked,
and perhaps declared illegal, it
was said.

MED charges by Senator Norris,
Repn., Neb., that he had promised
to help Donald Richbourg, labor
attorney, obtain a federal judge

sidency.

circumstances in connection with
any of our conferences upon which
any such statement could have been
based.
"You are fully aware that my
purpose in bringing you and op-
ponents of the anti-injunction leg
islation together was to ascertain
whether there was a common
ground of agreement so that the
enactment of this desirable legis-
lation might be expedited in con-
gress.
Senator Norris also stated that
I represented to you that I had
invited you to Washington at the
suggestion of the President of the
United States
"You know that made no such
representation to you and the fact
is that the President knew moth
ing of these conferences which were
initiated by me on my own mo-
tion.

cannot believe you maGe any such
representations to Senator Norris

HOOVER RECEIVES
OPTIMISTIC VIEW
ON OIL INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-U.P)-
President Hoover had under con-
sideration today an optimistic re-
port of the federal oil conserva-
ton board declaring the American
oil industry gives indications of
being the first basic industry to
emerge from the world depression" j."
The President was informed,
however, that if the present i'm
provement is to continue, the state
must cooperate on a permanent
basis to stabilize production and
balance supply and demand.
Improved conditions in the in
dustry were attributed to the fact
that ''for the time being produc-
tion in all states has been more
closely in accord with demand than
in several years." the board urged
the states to set up satisfactory
machinery" to stabilize further
their production.
Unless such machinery is adopt
ed, the report said, mo improve
ment in refining and marketing
practices will be wholly effective,
but if constructive tendencies on
the production side are many, per-
manent, corresponding improve
ment in the other branches may
be expected to follow"

on the national campaign and is
devoting considerable time to the
reelection of his sick colleague,

BY Borah's silence, broken only
by an inferential criticism of Roos-

The Idaho senator has studious-

USE RADIUM IN
TREATMENT FOR
TUMOR OF BRAIN

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10. W.p) = A
new method for using radium in
the treatment of brain tumor was
advanced today by DR.. Max Cut
Ter, Chicago clinic director, at the
22nd clinical congress of American
College of Surgeons here.
Although surgery has made great
advances in the treatment of brain
tumors in the past 30 years, there
are still many intracranial tumors
which cannot be removed by sur
gical methods now employed Cut
Ter said.
The possibility and practicable
ity of using radium implanted by
needle directly into the brain has
been investigated. Microscopic
studies revealed radium could be
used within the brain without in
jury to the normal brain cells, he
said.
1t was proved practical, he said,
to treat a human patient, suffer-
ing from a brain tumor, by the
implanting of radium into the tu-
rior without harm to the patient.
1t is hoped, ne said, the use of
radium may also prove practical in
treating malignant cancers Of the
brain.

In Battle Staged With
in School.

REDONDO BEACH, Cal, Oct. 10
-(U.Pl-Possibility that Elliott B.
Thomas, young school superintend-
ent, voluntarily dropped out of
sight, was expressed by authorities
today as they failed to pierce the
maze surrounding his disappear
ance and possible kidnapping
Thomas, 33, married and the ia
ther of a child, vanished Monday
night from his school house after
he apparently had discovered per-
sons attempting to break into the
school safe.
Scenes of wild disorder were ap-
parent. Chairs were broken, desks
upset, and Thomas coat, ripped
in two pieces, were found.
But there, Captain Norris Stem
sland, of the sheriff's office said
the Crime" blows up.
Tools found in front of the safe
were not heavy enough to "break
a baby's bank" much less a heavy
safe, he said.
The sleeves of Thomas coat were
not turned inside out, as they
would be had it been jerked from
his back in a fight.
There were no blood spots to be
found, despite the scene of wreck
age.
Thomas had been in financial
difficulties, and recently sold his
small car to pay doctor bills, STEM
sland said Mrs. Thomas informed
him. The school mans life was in
sured for $4,000.
For two days, school children and
deputy sheriffs have searched the
surrounding hills without a trace
of Thomas. 1t was first believed
that the gang breaking into the
school safe, had kidnapped the ex-
ecutiVe when they were recognized
and thus hoped to conceal their
identity.
But today, investigators were
frankly puzzled and skeptical, as
Captain Stensland pointed out.

strong opposition here.
This was indicated today by AL

widow.
Claims have been made here by
attorneys that Miss Millette, who
committed suicide in the Sacra-

his own life, was Berns legal wife.
Referring to the attempt to eS-
tablish the Millette claim, Sheets
said it was lone of those ghouliSh
