LOS ANGELES, July 25. - The 30-minute divorce of Mrs. William G. McAdoo has been turned over to the State Bar Association for investigation by a Superior Court Jurist who censured the attorney for the Senator's wife. Judge Frank Collier found the action of Henry Grivie in obtaining the quick divorce for the daughter of President Wilson irregular and led people to believe the court has a slow and tedious process for the poor and speedy action for the rich.
"That attorney was aware of our regular procedure," said Judge Collier. "It is certain that the conduct of the attorney in this case was irregular and subject to severe censure."
Judge Collier pointed out however that the divorce was perfectly valid.
