The committee said that 501 divorces were granted in the first ten weeks of 1930, . as compared to 431 marriages. A total of 325 divorce suits also were filed. The committee report was made yes- terday. Several changes in the mar- riage laws of Colorado were sug- gested S PRISONERS QUIET AND OBEY ORDERS (Continued From First Page) as the state prepared to wind up its investigation of last Monday's prison fire that resulted in the death of 320 men, The board of inquiry transferred its activities today from the peni- tentiary to the office of Attorney General Gilbert Bettman. A com- | plete report of the investigation will | be placed before Governor Myers Y, Cooper tomorrow. Until then, the governor will take no action regard- ing the administrative personnel at the penitentiary. No convicts were appear at the final board.

He said the letter he had “was just a sample.” Blaine said the reports referred to | “a great many members of the | house,” and that he did not want them placed in the record without being passed on by a quorum. The senators also declined to com- | ment of the records of the associ- | ation. The committee questioned Curran concerning the expense accounts of Walter G. Hooke, while working against prohibition at the Illinois and New York legislatures last year. Hoolse is assistant to Curran and |is the association’s “‘political agent.” One of the items, as read by Rob- inson, showed Representative Igoe, of Tllinois, had been entertained. Hooke's travelling expenses for {one month was $1,500, Robinson aid. He read a large number of litems for meals and hotel bills. Reports Are Reasonable Curran said thwt if the reports {were analyzed the amounts would be found to be ‘“reasonable.” Another item was for entertain- ment of “Senator Starr,” whom Cur- ran said he thought was a member of the Illinois scnate. Robinson said the cxpense account of Hooke last year apparently was 4,427, based on a hasty computa- tion, Curran said he would like to have the association check the fig- {ures. He insisted that“the money had been spent “properl Robinson then brought out that expenses of Hooke for the first three months of this year werc §1,789. Blaine, after looking over a list {of contributors to the association, sald brewers had donated money in | {1928 and 1929 but no money had been contributed by them this year. Curran said it was decided last| January not to accept contributions {from brewers or distillers so that there would not be “one half of onc per cent of commercial interest.” He added that the brewers in 1928 | contributed seven per cent of the total raised, while in 1929 it had | dropped to one and one half per | cent. read | Alcohol Question Raised Tiobinson asked if the association | accepted contributions from pro- ducers of industrial alcohol. “I don’t know,” Curran said. “Don’t the DuPont's make indus- 1 alcohol,” Robinson asked. “I don’t know,” Curran said.

Little opposition is expected ‘o the bill in the senate. The judi. clary committee voted to make the transfer effective on July 1.

Both Claim Victory Washingtoii, April 24 () — Both wets and drys claimed today to have emerged victorious’ from the house judiciary committee’s investigation ot conditions under the prohibition laws, which saw the dry statutes bitterly assailed and staunchly de- fended by a long succession of wit- nesses. The committce, with a volum- of testimony to show for its extended hearings, planned to take no further action or to report any legislation based | upon the investigation. The hearings were conducted on proposals that the l18th amendment be repealed, although their purpose, as phrased by Chairman Graham, was to permit the wet spokesmen to place their views before the coun- [ try. With the inquiry at an_end, inter- | est in the prohibition issue centered upon the sessions of the senate which fis conduct- |ing an investigation of organizations formed to oppose or sponsor the anti-liquor statutes. ~Today, it was cngaged in. tracing out the activities of the Assocjation Against the Pro- { hibition Amendment. Curran Recalled Today The president of that organiza- tion, H. H. Curran was called to the witness stand for his seventh | day of testimony and interrogation. Members of the committee were ready with questions based upon correspondence seized from the files of the assoclation by subpoenas. The house group, during its ses- sion heard the prohibition laws vig- orously assailed by the wet and then spiritedly defended by the dry days of rebuttal by the anti-prohibi- tionists, yesterday and Wednesday, brought the inquiry to a close. In an endeavor to refute the statements of dry witnesses, the wets presented two noted footbull | coaches, Tad Jones of Yale: and | William W. Roper of Princeton, and Sir Henry Drayton, who is in charge of the Ontario system of liquor dis- tribution through government dis- pensaries. As the last witness of the investl- | gation he testificd late yesterday that the government sale systen was instituted because a bone dry {law had net proved successful. C. Drury, a former premier of On- tario, appearing for the drys had sald that the government sale plan was a failur Sir Henry told the committee that | the effectiveness of the Ontario law depended largely upon the extent of | cooperation from ~social vorkers “We find,” he said, “that where w are fortunate enough to have clos cooperation, the results aro excel- lent.” Battalino Weighs 128, Graham Just Over 126 Hartford, April’ 25 (UP)—Bat Battalino, world's featherweight champion, weighed 12§ pounds and Bushy Graham of Utica, N.
