Romeel Main street of | AUTHORESS’ GASE CAUSING TROUBLE Wilco; Putnam’s Actions Providence, R. 1, Jan. 10.—The suggestion for a grand jury investi- gation of Mrs. Nina Wilcox Putnam Sanderson’s efforts to obtain a di- vorce here was to be discussed today by Attorney General Carpenter, Judge Chester Barrows, in whose court the case was heard and Judge Jerome Hahn, of criminal court. Records of the case were sent to the attorney general yesterday after Judg Barrows had permanently va- cated the decree he granted last week and hastily withdrew when = local newspaper article showing that Mrs. Sanderson had not maintained a resi- dence here for the required length of time, as claimed in her deposi~ tions, was placed before him. A let- ter from Mrs. Sanderson, declaring she had misunderstood the residence clause of the Rhode Island divorce laws, was read in court. Attorney General Carpenter said Judge Barrows expressed a determina- tion to carry the matter to the grand jury as one of public policy, in or- der to prove to the public that the courts were trying, honestly and con- scientiously, to enforce the statutes of the state and that the abhorrent re- ports about “Rhode Island divorce mills' were unfounded. In Mrs. Sanderson’s letter, written to her attorney were the residence re- quirements in Rhode Island and that if she had known of certain prece- dents In such matters she would not have attempted to get a divoree in Rbode Island. “The information,” said a part of her letter, “that T had received from a Connecticut lawyer was that it was sufficient that if I obtained a ‘place there for residence and had an in- tention of making that my home and stopped there on occasions when I was not elsewhere, having however, in my mind all the time that It was to be my home and the place that I con- sidered my home, that would be enough, Having been so advised I so testified.

Christiania, Norway, Jan., 10.=~The Norwegian government intends pro- posing to the parliament the abolition of the prohibition upon spirits, ac- cording to information from reliable auarters, The Norwegian laws formerly pro- hibited both spirits and heavy wines, but last March an act of parliament Iifted the ban upon wines. This ac- tion was due to trade negotiations with Portugal through which Nor- way, in order to. obtain entry for her fish products into Portugal, granted the free importation of wine from Portugal into Norway, By the repeal Norway was again able to open her important fish trade with both Spain and Portugal, illed off in great part through the inability of those nations to continue their wine exports to Norway. This left of Norway's dry law only the prohibition upon the import and sale of spirits and alcohol except for technical and medicinal purposes, and reports from Christlania in late De- cember sald a move to repeal this prohibition was in contemplation.

Market conditions rather than con- ditions of soil and climate are the obstacles to further development, it pointed out, Means must be found of getting and keeping an adequate sup- ply of labor on plantations in the south before any increase in cane sugar production can be expected there, and beet sugar production is limited by the competition of other cash crops, COLLEGE PROFS.
