Charges—Law Blamed. By a Staff Correspondent. ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 28.—} The aileged divorce evil in Alexandris 1s to be Investigated in a most complete and thorough manner, according to the expressed intentions of the special committee of the Alexandria Bar As- sociation when it met here late today and adopted a plan of procedure. The seven members of this special committes are unanimous in their ex- pressed determination to sift the mat- ter to the bottom and to get at the actual facts of conditions. ~They are desirous of extending punishment to any one who is discovered.to have in- dulged fn fllegal or irregular transac- tions in connection with divorces and to.recommend remedies to improve the situation, Belleves Law -at Fault. Practically every one of the members of this committee is of the opinion that the Virginia divorce law is at fault at least to some extent because of ‘its' indefiniteness regarding the domicile requirements of an applicant for divorce. It was intimated by all that, mo mattcr what else may be ac- complished by the committee's investi- gation, it will recommend that the divorce law be amended so as to elimi- nate its present weak features. The committee is composed of the following members of the local bar: Howard W. Smith, commonwealth at- torney, ohairman; Judge J. K. M. Norton, Judge C. E. Nlcol. Gardner Boothe, Judge L. C. Barley, C. eith Carlin and J. Randall Caton. Will Investigate Cases. After a general expression of views as to the proper procedure. a reso- lution was adopted appointing a sub- committee of three to make an ab- stract of every divorce case that has come to the corporation court from May 1 to the present time and to make a report at the next meeting of the gommittee next Saturday aft- .~ The period selected for the llection of data concerning the di- vorce cases was chosen because i covers the period Judge Robinson and during which it is alleged by those complaining of the conditions | that the greatest abuses of the di- vorce law have been perpetrated. Those who were named to serve on this subcommittee are Messrs. Caton (chairman), Carlin and Smith. They were instructed to make a spe- cial note of those cases which ap- pear to them as suspicious or in any way out of the ordinary or irregular. Would Call All Lawyers. It is the intention of the committee to call upon every member of the lacal bar to furnish a list of all divorce cases handled by them dur- ing the period In question and to supply any other information which may ‘be helpful. The committee also will call on all citizens and others to furnish like information. When the committee has considered thor- oughly the history of every divorce case during the period mentioned it will call witnesses to testify con- cerning _the facts brought out and considered irregular. The committee anticipates some difficulty in this respect, however, as it has not the power to compel witnesses to testify nor to place them under oath. Nevertheless the members of the committee believe that- it will be successful in obtain- ing helpful information by this means. ‘Will' Push - Legislation. In anticipation of this, a bill pre- pared last week by Judge Nicol of the committee has been introduced in the state legislature which would grant these powers to the committee. Efforts will be made to expedite the enactment because of the emergency. It is the intention of the committee, acoordi=:g to views expressed, to ask Judge Moncure to require each at- torney presenting a divorce case dur- ing the investigation to swear that has personally invest gated the af- s as to the residence of the applicant_end has found them to be correct. He will be asked also to ap- M| point an attorney to represent the state in every divoroe case, who will L] ne the evidence and cross-ques- examine TPRIY. ALEXANDRIA.

Many persons l;om Washington, Baltimore and other points visited the exhibit.

Already the commit- tee has established headquarters in the rooms of the chamber of com- merce and is rapidly completing the details for the bazaar.

The policeman de- glares there were no speed violations today and if there were any bootleg- gers around he failed to find them. —_— BLAIR TO PROBE JAIL REPORT ABOUT DRY AGENT Internal Revenue Collecter David H. Blair received a telegram yester- day stating that James P. Roberts, who was on Friday appointed chief of the prohibition enforcement agents in Massachusetts, is “an ex-convict, having served time for robbery of the mails when viously in the government emplo Commissioner Blair said last night: “I had no intimation of anything of this sort until today. A hasty in- quiry shows that Mr. Roberts some twentwseven years ago, when a mere boy, ®as sent to a reformatory—I believe at Concord—for a year and a half, and, on account of good con- duct, was released before that time expired. I am assured that since then he has led a very exemplary life, taken a great interest in civic affairs, in church work, has been highly respected by those who know him best, and for more than a quar- ter of a century no breath of scandal has touched him. “Of course, I will have the matter thoroughly investigated and hope to have a report tomorrow. If the facts are shown to be as 1 have been as- sured—that for more than a quarter of a century he has lived &s an up- right and respected citizen—I think the reformatory is all too good for any one who would now bring up that old scandal. If the facts are as I believe, that he has lived as a model citizen all these years, I will stand behind him to the limit and support him in the position to which we have appointed him.” —When you get your Snow Scene bring it to us for per- fect Developing and Printing Results.
