10 TITE OMAIIA DAILY TtEE: WEDNESDAY. JULY B. 1003. DIVORCE EASY IN NEBRASKA Judge 8utto Thinks the Law Allowi Too Vttij Grounds. DIVORCES SAME DAY PETITION IS FILED On Hundred anil Korty-Fonr Drcrera l.rantril by Three Kqaitr Jnde In Donf Ui Count? Since January 1. Omaha's dlvnrrp eulnny, or nsKrofratlon, Is not so conspicuous In tlie putillc mind as the one for vhlch Hloux Falls Is noted throughout th country. Omaha, of couti", Is Hti eminently rrsjHCtable and highly con servative clly, In a sodul srn.r, and the flocking hi-r of ill."! (.nt. ntnd ImttcrMlfS and maritally rnnukd mulo citizens would not be welcomed or encouraKed. Vet It is doubtful if even Ploux Fulls can Fhow the divorce record year in and year out that the three equity courts of Douglas county make. And U niii.il he remembered that the divorce mill cmw i to grind during va cation. No divorce cases are considered during July, August and September. It Is not an uncommon thing for a pe tition to he filed and the divorce granted the same day. Ti ls has occurred at least twice within the past four weeks. In eaeh case there seemed to be nothing for the Judge to do but to grant a decree. The first case was that of an editor of a country paper In Iowa against whom his wife filed a petition. The title of the case was Harriet H. J. Hughes against Alonzo P. The petitioner was a widow when Hughes married her In June. and has at least one grown child. She loaned him at different times money to the amount of ll.OCO. He would be engaged at his print ing office In Iowa all week and would come to Omaha only on Saturday to stay over Sunday. Of the money loaned the wife succeeded In getting back $."oQ, then sued for divorce on the ground of desertion. Hughes waived service of the oomplulnt and en tered a voluntary appearance on the day the petition was filed. Judge Sears heard the testimony the Bame day and granted the divorce, at the same time ordering the defendant to pay to his divorced wife $600 In Installments. neerher r a Swift One. The most most recent case of quick action was on the petition of Theodore Beecher against Mary. This petition was filed In district court on June 27 and Mrs. Beecher waived service and entered a voluntary personal appearance on the same day. In few hours Theodore Beecher was again a free man. He Is a saloon keeper at 32 Bherrnan avenue and his charges against the woman, whom he married at Council Bluffs, In December, 1S5S, were substan tiated to that extent which warranted the granting of a decree by Judge Sears. In both these cases the court was pre sented with what he deemed sufficient reasons for tho hurry-up work done, and the waiver of service and voluntary ap pearance brought tho parties Into court at once. Since January 1, 196, Judge Sears has granted eighty-two divorces, Judge Sutton has granted freedom to forty-nine petition ers and Judge Troup has made thirteen ap plicants more or less happy. A great many cases carried over from Inst year were dis missed for want of prosecution, and a few petitions have been denied. A goodly pro portion of the decrees has been granted through default of defendants, many of whom are non-residents. Jodare Sutton's Views. Discussing the divorce work of the courts from personal experience, Judge Sutton said: "This Is a matter that Is enagaging the attention of students of sociology every where, and In Nebraska It presents about the same features, I presume, as elsewhere. I have no doubt that some people come here with the set purjose of securing a di vorce. Where we ran be at all certain that this Is so the judges exercise all the care possible under the law to ascertain the facta. Only recently a case In my court was reported In The Bee wherein tho husband sought to secure a divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion. The wife was said to be living in St. Louis and after hearing the plaintiff's testimony I ordered that personal notice be served on the wife. This being done, she at once put in an answer setting up allegations which caused the plaintiff to withdraw his suit, practi cally. This cannot always be done, but where It can the courts exercise as wide a discretion as they can. "I have In mind another case before me the past week which la typical of a good many. A wife-was suing her husband for divorce on the ground of failure to prop erly support her. Questioning developed the til fact to be that the husband Is getting a salary of J45 a month, from which he re tained about $15 for his own purposes, clothing, tobacco and things of that kind. The salary Is small and the wife was not getting much money. It Is true, but the man was giving her all he could every pay day and I denied her petition. Cause and Remedy. "Most of our divorce cases, as nearly as I can figure It out, are the result of this condition of affairs: A young man gets married, he at the time holding a fairly good Job. The couple buys household fur niture on the Installment plan and as long as the husband has work they get along all right. Then comes a day when the position Is lost and soon the money question be comes the ir:ost Important in that house hold.

The wife struggles along the best she can, until patience ceases to be a virtue and then she applies for a di vorce. Residence in Omaha proven, the fact of non-support established, desertion practically In evidence, then there Is noth ing for the court to do but grant the de cree. Collusion Is no doubt practiced In Isolated Instances, but there Is no certain way to prove It. "In my Judgment there are too many causes for divorce allowed In Nebraska. Amendment or revision of the law Is ap parently quite necessary In that respect, for as It stands at present there Is no rem edy that can be applied by the courts ex cept such judicial Investigation as each case seems to warrant."

"Pardon the question, colonel," said the reporter, "but there Is a statement !n an opposition paper that you never wore sot!s until within a comparatively recent period In your career. Is It true?" "I can't deny it," responded ths rising young statesman. Here the reporter took out his notebook. "In fact, I never had socks on my feet till I wss nearly 16." "Is It SKisslble?" "Yes.
