LOS ANGELES, Jan. II. = Mary
Pickford's IS glamorous romance with
Douglas Fairbanks is over.
Married life for the Ideal cou-
pie" ended late yesterday when the
actress was awarded a divorce in a
surprisingly brief appearance before
Superior Judge Ben B. Lindsey.
Her complaint, filed l3 months
ago, charged mental cruelty but the
charge was not discussed in the
three minutes she required to OBJ
tain the decree.
There was a note of sadness in
her voice when she left the hall of
justice to return to Pickfair which
she will continue to occupy under
an agreement with Fairbanks.
"This has been too dreadful, 7"
she told reporters. 81 have no

approval of q resolution by Senator
Ed Fletcher of San Diego, giving
state recognition to the 1885 Cali
fornia Pacific International Exposi-
ton in San Diego. The exposition
was described as "a non-profit en-
terprise to stimulate recovery in
the west and to illustrate the prog
reSS of man."
Senator Fletcher already has in
troduced a bill requesting a 100000
state appropriation to aid in financ-
ing the exposition.
Outstanding among the progress
sive social proposals was a bill
based on the recommendation of a
joint interim committee - which
would provide for unemployment
insurance as a means of helping
alleviate some of the evils which
arose during the depression era.
The desire of many legislators to
soak the rich but spare the little
fellow" was expressed in bills ad-
vocating various types of income
and corporation taxes, exempting
small homes from taxation and
preventing the seizure of low-valued
automobiles and radios in payment
of debts.
Most of the contemplated finan-
cial and taxation measures con-
tinued TO be held up pending the
submission of Governor Frank F..
Merriam's budget program. Income
tax measures were being pushed
however, and one in particular was
expected to provide a test of the
legislatures ability to resist pressure
from the outside.

fight of private power interests
against extension of the govern

The utilities had claimed money
invested in life insurance and saw

New York Stocks

NEW YORK. Jan. IL. UR)-The
full significance of the supreme
court hearings on the gold clause
struck Wall street today. Traders
became apprehensive over possibil-
ity the gold clause would be up
held and sold stocks, bought bonds
with the clause in the indenture,
and sold commodities, while for
eign exchange traders bought the
dollars which advanced.
Stocks lost | to more than 3
points with volume increasing on
the decline. The real feature of
the financial markets was the ac-
tivity in United States government
issues which was the heaviest since
August.
In the latter group traders were
switching out of issues without the
gold clause-issues floated since
abandonment of the gold standard
into issues with the clause.
Railroads have outstanding gi-
gantic amounts of gold bonds and
their stocks and bonds recorded
the widest declines. Union Pacific
common stock was down 3 points
while Atchison, New York Central,
Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and
Southern Railway were down l to
more than points. Railroad equip
ments followed the rails down.
Sales today approximated $780,
900 shares compared with 100000
shares yesterday. Curb sales were
$4,000 shares compared with l60,-
900 shares yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages showed industrial 103.35
