BUSINESS SLUMP SLOWS UP RENO DIVORCE MILL Attorneys Say Clients Await Better Alimony Settlements Ry Earl H. Leif. t P Staff Correspondent Reno, Nev., Dec. I —(U.R>— The stock market and the Christmas holidays are having a depressing effbet upon the Reno divorce industry and new arrivals are fewer than at any time of the year. There is no "Christmas rush" to Reno. On the contrary, persons who contemplate divorce usually wait until after the Yuletide to come here, experience or past years show. This is particularly true of those who have children, as they do not wish to deprive the kiddies of a homo at that season of the year. Children of divorcees are quite numerous here and it is estimated that about 25 per cent of the peo- i pie who come here for separation , have minor children. Many bring ( them to Reno on the theory that "possession is nine-tenths of the ’ law. , i Stock Market Blamed The uncertain condition of the ' stock market has had its effect upon the divorce business, accord- ' ing to E. H. Bernier, county clerk, through whose office come all the 1 complaints and decrees. "There were less divorces during Oct' her and November of this year than any time I can remem- , her," he said. “1 think, however, it is only a temporary lapse." A number of divorcees are here , whose 90-day period of residence | has already been established but who are awaiting a return to con- ; fidence in the market before filing their divorce complains in order to make a more advantageous property s ttlement with their discarded husbands. Better Alimony Others who have opened preliminary negotiations with attorneys by mail from their homes,

have decided to remain with their husbands a few months longer sn they can be more secure in their demands for alimony. Judge George A. Bartlett,,divorce [ Jurist, says the busiest time of the year is usually In March or April, as the dlvorc seekers cornu in! droves after the holidays and their I 90-day residence period terminates in early spring. Actual statistics are not avail able to show the number of di-l vorces granted this year as com-| pared with last, but virtually all; pel sons connected with dlvorc a! here agree there has been a decided slump. RUM-RUNNING CUT DOWN 8f CANADIAN BAN Detroit Survey Shows Decrease in “Over River” Traffic i Detroit. Dec. 11—(UP)—The Cau-| adian ban on exports of liquor to, the United States has decreased rum-running "n the Detroit district and cut bootlegging here by 75 per' cent, a recent survey by the De troit News showed. The News said that smuggling of! liquor across the Detroit river and | the business done by blind pigs here have been decreased to 25 percent of the amount done before the export ban became effective. The ban has resulted in a change in smuggling tactics the newspaper] said. The News survey was based on the amount of liquor seized as thisfigure relation to the amount of li-| quor relation to the amount of liquor exported from Canada. Since the ban the export figures of course, have not been available but it was assumed as the relation continued. Freight Car Shipments Within the last two months four] freight cars of liquor billed from southern and eastern points to ficti ' tious addresses in this district have been seized by Federal agents.

mely about one freight shipment a year was Intercepted. Thomas H. Brennan, deputy prohibition administrator "• r the dis- | trlct cited the type of captures bepng made by Federal agents as In- , dicative of the decrease in rumrunning.

The "speakeasy" situation in Detroit has lieen somewhat modified since the News survey whh completed, because of the ban Issued by Mayor Frank Murphy against "tipover" raids. Formerly police used to gain entrance to a liquor estab- . lishment, smash the furniture and , dump the stock. After a couple of i "tipovers" the operator of the blind nig either went out of business or
