The motion was made in Mrs. McCormich's answer to the abP11" cation of her daughter for ap polntment of Mr. McCormick as her legal guardian. Under the Swiss law, consent of the guar dian or both parents of a minor is necessary for marriage. , Temporary Order Denied Judge Henry L. Horner, how ever, declined to grant even a tem porary restraining order, but con- tinued the hearing of the motion until June 3, meanwhile ordering that ' letters of guardianship he drawn up for Harold P Mc Cormick under bonds of $20,0OU. Mr. McCormlck'B counsel, fcdwin H. Cassell, agreed, however, that the guardian's consent to his ward's marriage would not be given before the hearing. Charles Scuttinp. attorney for Mrs. McCormick, indicated that he would use every legal means to block, consent of the international marriage in which the grand daughter of John D. Rockefeller would become the bride of a for mer cavalry officer who was her liding master for many years during her residence in Switzer land. Family Not In Court Neither Mrs. McCormick, Miss Mathilde nor her father was in court. Mrs. McCormlck's answer set up briefly these points. That Mathilde is a minor child having reached her 17th birthday only last month. That Mrs. McCormick believes that tJTe "sole object" of seeking appointment of a guardian "is to permit him to give his consent pursuant to the requirements ot Swiss law, to the marriage of Ma thilde McCormick and one Max Oser. a citizen of the confedera tion of Switzerland." That Mrs. McCormick does not approve of the contemplated mar riage.

May 31 -(By the Associated Press) Mary Pickford's divorce from Owen Moore was sustained today by the Nevada supreme court. In a , unanimous opinion and order written by E. A. pucker, Junior associate Justice, the court late today held that AUpreey General Fowler had no authority to institute proceedings to havo the divorce annulled and set aside Judge Langan Affirmed The supreme court's decision was an affirmation of the order of District Judge Frank P. aLn- gan quashing service of summons in an action brought by the attor ney general to set aside the div orce decree. Miss Pickford was granted a divorce from Owen Moore at Mlnden, Nev., March 20, 1920. Fowler's action to have the de cree set aside was based on the contention that Miss Pickford had not resided In Nevada the period required by law. No Jurisdiction Claimed When the district court in which the divorce was granted held that the action had been re gular in every particular, Fowler appealed to the state supreme court, charging that the divorce was obtained "through fraud and collusion" on the part of Miss Pickford and that the Minden court had no Jurisdiction. In an opinion of 15 typewritten pages, the supreme court today said, in substance: Married Immediately Afterward "Until the legislature acts and empowers the attorney general, or other officers, to represent the state's interest in divorce suits, the duty must remain where it (Continued on page 6) nnrn LITTLE MARY'S DIVORCE 'GIVEN LEGAL STATUS t , " .'

CONTRACT WITH STATE HELD TO BE UNLAWFUL Paving of Salem - Dallas Stretch Not Affected by Decree of Court DALLAS. Or., May 31. (Spe cial to-The Statesman) In a de cision handed down by Judge Per cy R. Kelly today in a road case brought by the city of Independ ence against the state highway commission the road work in Polk edunty being done by tha highway commission on the roads south of Monmouth by Contractor Trent and that being done north of Rickreall by Contractor HUdc brant has been halted and it may be some time before the work u resumed. Contract Unlawful In his decision Judge Kelly found that the contract made by the Polk county court and the highway commission last spring whereby the county court was to use a part of the market road fund for the purpose of preparing the roadway and the building ot bridges on the West Side highway was unlawful and the money rnnld nni'be used on a state highway. Polk county also borrowed a sura of money from the highway commission with which to finance some of the road work on the stato roads and as this exceeded the G pr cent I mitation of In debtedness of the county the con tract therefore is void. ltond Issue Suggested Just when the county court can find the amount of money witn which to make the payments on the roadbed of these two pieces of roadwork is not known as none of the members of the court could be found this afternoon.
