THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. J SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, igofl. NO NEED TO WORRY Over Decision of Supreme Court in Divorce Case. DECISION NOT SO SWEEPING WATERFRONT ITEMS Steamship Aztec to Go On Her Portland Run. DULL DAY ON BAR AND RIVER Courts of All States Except Three Will Excursion on Telegraph Duo Today Kecognire Divorces Granted in Another State, Regardltss As To Service. , The decision of the U. S. supreme court in the case of Haddock against Hid Jock which, recently made public scared many people who had been parties in divorce proceedings, is not as sweeping as at first declared, according to the assertion of Judge Gantenbein of the circuit court. It was reported locally that by the decision of the supreme court a divorce secured in state other than the one in which the martial domicile was and in which service on the defendant had been made by publication instead of in per son would be recognized only in the state in which the divorce was granted. Judge Gantenbein declares that such a divorce would undoubtedly be recognized in all the states except New York, Penn sylvania and South Carolina. "The recent supreme court decision is the cae of Haddock against Haddock is not as sweeping as was generally sup pose," said the judge. "The courts of II the states except New York, Penn sylvania and South Carolina have been accustomed, as a matter of comity, or judicial courtesy, to give full faith anl credit to the decrees of the courts of other states in divorce proceedings, al though service may have been on the defendant by publication of the sum mons, and the martial domicile not in the state where the divorce was granted. "The supreme court of the United States in its decision particularly specifies that the courts may continue to recognize the divorce decrees jf courts of other states, and in all prob ability the courts of all the states ex cept the three mentioned will continue to do so." The decision of the supreme court in the Haddock case was that the New York courts could not be compelled to recognize a divorce granted in a Con necticut court where service had been made by publication. The court reached this opinion by a bare majority, stand ing 5 to 4. "Supposed a man and wife lived in New York," continued Judge Gantenbein "and the wife went to Ohio and began a suit for divorce in which service on the husband was had by the publication of a notice in the newspapers. The di vorce, if granted, would be recognized not only in Ohio, but in every other state in the union except New York, Pennsylvania and South CaroMna. "But if either the husband or wife were to remarry in any of these three states, they would be liable to prosecu tion for bigamy. In all the other states the validity of the divorce would not be questioned." A divorce cannot be obtained on any ground in South Carolina. In New York divorces are granted for infidelity only. Pennsylvania allows a little more ground for divorce, but ranks third in the severity of its divorce laws. Wilbur Larremore, writing on this Potter Down Last Night With Big Crowd San Jose Out For Bar Duty Odds and Ends. It is said the fine steamship Aztec, of the Pacific Mail line out of San Francisco, in the China trade, has been chartered by the management of the San Francisco-Portland Steamship Com pany, for service between the Hay City, Astori aand Portland, and will be put on the nin in the course of a week oc two. This is good new, as she is a fine vessel and a fair mate for the fine old Columbia, and will make the line very popular. It sounds almost too good to be true. The bar pilot schooner San Jose went to the lower bay yesterday morning on her way out to her station, and is now probably on duty. The Joseph Pulitzer will go to Portland, and into the "sick- bav." as soon as she can catch a tow up. She will be there for tha better part of a month. The T. J. Potter came down the river last night with a crowd of people bound for the northshore beaches, and they were having a jolly time. Music and dancing and flirting and moonlight were among the leading features of the trip, and all thoroughly enjoyed. There is a big fleet of vessels due in from various home and foreign ports, and if fair weather prevails through August, it should be a banner month for arrivals. The Telegraph was unlucky enough yesterday to run her sharp nose into dolphin at the Eureka dock, on her way up to Portland, but the damage was only nominal. She will be down at 1:30 to day, with a big excursion. subject, says in the July number of the North American Review: "It does not seem likely that the decision of the supreme court in the Haddock case will make any substantial change in legal policies. Its main pur port is to sanction the continuation of their own policies by New York and other eccentric states. "Those states that have proceded under the federal constitution in recog nizing foreign divorces are now released from that position, but it seems not im probable that they will incline toward adhering to the former result through comity, especially as the majority opinion of the supreme court of the United States pointedly leaves the way open on that ground." That the United States supreme court may reverse its decision after a change of personnel is thought probable by Mr. Larremore. If the decision is re versed it would mean that tha courts of all the states would be compelled to recognize the divorce decrees of every other state, regardless of how service of the suit was made or on what grounds the divorce was granted.
