80 MEN CLEAR
WHITE HOUSE
FETE DEBRIS

Fifty men were set to work this
morning on the south White
House lawns to complete the job,
begun last night, of cleaning up
after yesterdays Easter egg
rolling.
Crews went to work yesterday
Immediately upon the departure
Of the crowd, and worked until
the light failed them. Despite
their efforts, however, there was
still a good three or four hours
work left for this morning.
According to Raymond Muir,
chief usher at the White House,
the crowd left more trash than
usual, but did not cut UP the
lawn as badly as was done last
year. The ground, although
damp, was dryer this spring.
Lawns Repaired
After the debris has been cleared
away today the grounds will be
rolled and the more severely in
jured plots will be seeded.
The high spot of yesterdays
frolic for Mr.. Muir was Mrs. Roose-
velt's second trip through the
crowd in the late afternoon. To-
day he confessed:
"I was worried for a few min
uteS."
Mrs. Roosevelt never lost her
poise even when the jam was most
threatening. She gave a sigh Of
relief. however, once the trip was
: over.
For "Reds," the 11-year-old
Capital businessman on the job at
the western gate, it was the biggest
day in history. And Reds" has
been working" that particular
gate on Easter Monday ever since
he was able to toddle. He cleared
something over $12 yesterday, he
admitted.
A police officer said:
81 heard the yOungSter boast
ing and / told him to pipe down.
OF course, we all knew what he
was doing, but why not? We like
to see 'em so enterprising."

"Reds," other youngsters COM
planned, took away the best part
of the business. He met parties
Of adults up the street and made
combination prices, parties Of six
at a nickel or dime apiece. Lone
adults were held to the standard
rate of a quarter.
"Sistie" and ''Buzzie" Dali, Mrs.
Roosevelt said yesterday, were ini-
tiated into the custom Of eggroll.
ing last year. They were a bit
mystified at the beginning as to
what it was all about, but this
spring were as enthusiastic as any
seasoned Washington egg roller.

FIGHT FOR BOAT
FUTILE HERE

Several cross country hitch.
hiking trips and weeks Of effort
spent by Mrs. Eduardo K. Baltuff
to recover her boat, "The Zev,"
proved fruitless today when the
District Court Of Appeals ruled it
had no right to interfere in the
case.
The boat, built at a cost of $4O,-
600, was seized by the Prohibition
Department in 1927, and proceed
ingS for it's condemnation and
sale were begun at Seattle, Wash.
The Government then changed its
course of action, proceeded under
the tariff act of 1922, and had the
vessel declared forfeit.
Mrs. Baltuff, after exhaustive
proceedings in the Federal courts
in the State of Washington, came
here and, acting as her own at
torney, instituted proceedings in
an attempt to recover the boat.
The District Supreme Court
ruled against her and its decision
was upheld by the appellate court,
which ruled the boat never was
in waters Of this jurisdiction and
consequently it had no power to
hear the case.
Making her last trip mere sew
eral weeks ago, Mrs. Baltuff in
formed court attaches she started
out from the far West with only
SO cents. She still had the "half
buck" when she arrived here. The
Government was represented in
the proceedings by United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett and
his assistant, John w. Fihelly.

er, the District Court of Appeals
today ruled.
The decision was made in a case
started by the Wardman Real ES-
tate Investment Corpo ration
against John G. and Ruby C. Mac
farlane. The action was designed
to recover judgment on a promi-
sorry note given by the Macfar-
lanes as security for the purchase
price of a house.
Electing to stand on pleas filed
in the case, the Macfarlanes, rep.
resented by Attorneys James B.

contended that after becoming de.
linquent in payments, they turned
over the key to the house to an
agent of the company and relin-
quished all rights in the property
to satisfy the debt.

Justice Adkins Gives
Foreign Divorces
Death Blow

and Lister VS.. Lister, S6 N. ]. 80,
were the controlling authorities
in the instant case.
Justice Adkins asserted that he
would award alimony to the wife
as we'll as the limited divorce de.
cree she sought, adding:
"Over two years have elapsed
since defendants marriage. His
progress in his college studies
during that period is not such
rs to justify the court in sus-
pending alimOny during his
further college studies"
The court opinion is the first
in local court annals to delve
so deeply into the faith to be &C.
credited to Reno divorces and is
right in line with the declaration
of F. Regis Noel at the time of
his election as president Of the
bar association in which he urged
legislation to liberalize the local
divorce laws. At this time he
said:
"Our antiquated domestic re-
latiOns statutes not only permit
the efflux but actually drive
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in fees to other jurisdictions.
Even the most rigid churchman
would not contend that it is
wise to force bona fide residents
of the District Of Columbia to
establish constructive residence
in foreign states for the purpose
Of obtaining spurious divorce de-
crees."

A memorandum opinion of JUS
tice Jesse C. Adkins last week
struck a death blow at divorces
obtained in foreign jurisdictions.
In the case of Holt VS.. Holt,
equity No. 54,797, Justice Adkins
ruled that Notwithstanding the
fact that the defending wife went
to Reno after she was served with
process in her husbands suit, en-
gagged counsel, entered her ap-
pearance and filed her answer,
she is not precluded from suing
for divorce in the local courts.
Ralph A. CuSick appeared for
the plaintiff in the case here and
on the authorities submitted by
him in his brief, Justice Adkins
relied in his findings.
She Went to Reno
The findings of fact are that
the husband, a young college stu.
dent, went to Reno and estab-
lished a domicile there for the
purposes of obtaining a divorce.
The young wife first learned
that her husband had filed his
suit when a local attorney asked
her to sign the required waiver.
She then went to Reno and
filed an answer in the suit but
waived all notice of further pro-
ceedings.
Justice Adkins observation on
the matter of domicile is an in
teresting one to counsel:
"On the question of residence
he testified he had lived In
Sparks, New, since June 30 and
that when he came there to
live it was for the purpose of
making Nevada his home for
an indefinite period of time.
In the finding of fact the court
found that Holt for six weeks

NEVER RETURNED
"On the Afternoon of WedneS-
day. the day after the trial, de.
fendant started for home. He
has never since returned to

pose in going to Reno was to
obtain a divorce and that he
had no purpose of residing there

domicile in Nevada"

1900 WORKERS
IN AAA FACE
CHECK-UP
RecIassification Ordered 10
Halt Challenging OF Jobs,
Pay BY Comptroller

Every position Of the more than
1000 in the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is under
scrutiny by AAA and Civil Serv-
ice officials in connection with
general reclassification of the or
ganization, it was learned today.
The action involves the status
Of the jobs themselves, rather
than personalities, officials said.
Must Be Checked
It has been deemed necessary
to justify the need for each Of
the 1000 positions, so that pay
ment of salaries to persons hold
ing the positions can not be chal-
lenged.
The reclassification also in
cludes the sorting out of jobs IN
their relations to the various Sec
tions of the AAA.
Recent changes in policy have
eliminated many units and fos-
tered the creation of others. so
that every job throughout the en-
tire organization must be fitted
into it's proper pigeonhole for
administrative purposes.
Among the reasons for the re-
classification is that fact that on
several occasions the Comptroller
General has withheld pay from
many AAA employees, on the
grounds that they were not prop
erly classified.
Called Outside"
Over 200 workers have received
no salaries since January /. The
Bureau of the Budget is still
holding up their checks, claim
ing that they are outside" of the
AAA budget.
The reclassification will last for
weeks, officials stated. In it's
train, many employees will receive
salary boosts, while others will
be denoted. according to the
pigeonhole into which their po-
sitions are fitted.

Recovering from the setback

in its weekend survey today.
Further gains were predicted
with the advance Of spring, and
the normal seasonal rise will be

nounced plans to supplement the
waning CWA program, the Re-
view stated, adding optimistically:
with the recovery move

application of new and power
full economic stimuli, indica-
tiOnS are becoming clearer that
1894 will prove to be a banner
year, as some sweeping changes
in the NRA code structure are
to remove the few remaining
obstacles hampering unfettered
progress"
The army of men employed in
the last two weeks throughout
the country for snow removal
helped the resumption of the
rise of employment, it was stated.
in spite of temporary handicaps,
it was added, a well-maintained
volume of business has been re-
corded in both wholesale and re-
tail trade with department store
sales continuing to hold the spot
light.
The Review warned of COM

business activity and employment
