NEW LAW EFFECTIVE
One Year's Residence Reuired to Ob
tain Divorce Hereafter.
Reno, Nev., Jan. 1. As a divorce
center Reno went into the has-been
class today when the new divorce
law requiring a year's residence be
fore applicattion can be made for a
divorce went into effect. It is now
just as hard to shuffle off the bonds
of matrimony in Nevada as in any
other state. The divorcees who are
already here going through the pro
cess of separating themselves fromi
their husbands or wives will be per
mitted to complete their tasks but
thereafter none otheri but genuine
one-year-rt-least residents need apply.
Keno-s reputation : as a divorce
colony was made by the ' rush which
followed the passage of an easy di
vorce law. Actresses, society wo
men and othra flocked there in '
droves.
Prominent among them was Mrs.
Marsaret Emerson McKim, daughter
,-i r,
of. Is9nc Emerson,. "Bromo Seltaej:"
t'"8''' who married Alfred G. Van-
derbilt after her divorce from Scott
Hollis McKim. Virginia Harned se
cured her divorce from E. H. Sothern
here. Edna Goodrich came here to
get a divorce and immediately after
wards marrieid Nat Goodwin, whom
she has since divorced. Others who
were' divorced here: , -.;.-'
Mrs. Florence Jenkins, of , Balti
more; Mrs. Henry Hutt, wife of the
artist; William E. Cory, who after
ward married Mabelle Gilman; Philip
Dodge, president ,of the Merganthaler
Linotype jjompany and R, M. - Bud

divorce colony."
