Divorces Jam Courts


 Steady increase in the num- ber of divorce suits in Britain is giving legal circles Q problem that they apparently cannot solve. Re- cent comments by judges in London. including Lord Chief Justice Hewart and Justice Swift, have emphasized the need for reform in the handling of hearings. The number of peti- tons entered each week exceed the number tried in the same period. When the last term of court ended more than 500 cases were untried. One Of the reasons for the increase is that more poor people are taking advantage of the facilities provided them, more than half the petition CTS in undefended eases suing as

noon, April 22nd at $40 p. m. It climaxed one of the most hectic days in the city's history, day which witnessed a fire-bug gone bezerk. One Bernard c. Murray of Greenfield, Mass. set fire to some rubbish in the basement of the building and when the fire was at its height he became 8 volunteer worker and aided the police in carrying out records and equipment. It was later learned that Murray became such a hard worker as to become 8 nuisance and some cop kicked him out of the old station house on Harrison avenue. Weren't the police surprised in later months to know that they had mistreated the much wanted fire-bug, who set 26 fires here in one day.
 Murray was later committed to a state institution for mental treatment.
 The destruction of the city hall was 8 thriller. The big aerial ladder from the old Scovill street station provided one spectacular feature. While in action and with a line of hose pouring stream into the blazing structure the truck overturned and the late Captain Thomas Mitchell strap ped to the ladder landed in 8 net work of electric wires on the op- posite side of the street. He was badly shocked before being res- cued. He recovered from his ex- perience and lived for 8 number of years afterward.
 Martial law prevailed that night in Waterbury and national guardsmen patrolled the streets. Murray's farewell salute to Wa terbury was five incendiary fires during the time firemen were en- gagged in fighting the city hall h1aZo

tThe Alaska Daily Pressl


 The Supreme Court did a number of things when it had that field day decisions recently One job which almost escaped attention in the rush bigger things it's disposal of the case of Mr. George w Norris grocer, of Broken Bow. Nebraska
 The courts ruling this proved that 1t s pos sibe after all punish a for perjury in this try-if you don't care how long takes you how much money costs
 The fate of Norris as individual is not parteu- lary important He just a well-meaning who played for a sucker by big boys and was left high and dry sandbar when the waters recedel First and foremost, it his that got him into toube.
 If you remember the case you will recall that in the early of 1880 Nebraskas famous Senator Geoge w Norris running for renomination in the Republican primary The party bigwigs, who had been keeping rod in pickle for Senator Norris for many years. hit of those utra-sirk ways of beating hm-too slick it turned
 They hunted around until they dug up this innocent grocer George W. Norris, and they persuaded him to file for the Senate Thus when the got the polls he would find George W. Norrises the ballot and would have earthly way of knowing which which. In that way Senator Norris would be split and the regular candidate might slip in.
 The people of Nebraska gagged at this bit of slick ness, the supreme ruled Grocer Norris off the ballot, and Senator Norris went renomnaton and reelection
 Meanwhile the Senate campaign committee began in- vesgatng. It held hearings in Nebraska and summoned Grocer Norris a witness Norris first told the mttee that he received money from anybody for of ering himself sacrifcia lamb later he changed his story and admitted that he had been paid S550.
 For this he indicted for perjury by a federal grand jury in June 1881.
 After long delay the came to trial. and in the late fall of 1885 Grocer Norris convicted perjury, fined and sentenced three months in jail Nearly a later appellate reversed the conviction ana ordered trial The government took the h. L. :. Supreme Court-and nearly years he otfense committed, the Supreme Court has tand the conviction and ordered Grocer Norris take his medicine.
 This little case talls you much about the tricks of American politics; it tells you more about Amer- criminal procedure
 Perjury strikes the very foundation stone of jus tiee. If lie under oath and get away with it, the crippled Yet open and shut case. and one-half years to convict man of lying and make the conviction stick!
