More Families Disrupted Than
Ceremonies Performed.
24S6 DIVORCES in YEAR.
New York Has 1850 Divorced Women
While Boston Is Ninth on
the List With Eight
Hundred

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 21.--The local court
records show that Chicago has gone
divorce mad More than half hundred
cases of connubial discord were docketed
on Saturday, occupying the attention Of
six judges and hundred lawyers. Nine
teen DEGREES of divorce and one of se-
Iparate maintenance were granted. The
|others are under Amusement On Friday
only 80 marriage licenses were issued,
while IL DEGREES of divorce were granted,
and so burial permits were issued. BY
the computation of staticians, 80 OF
these would be for husbands or wives.
Forty-nine families were therefore
broken up by death and divorce, and only
36 new families created.
On Thursday the families disrupted
by death were IA in number, and by d.
yorce five. There were 40 marriage IL
censes issued, giving Cupid majority.
During the week 81 DEGREES of divorce
were granted, and one of separate main
tenance. There were issued 373 mar
riage licenses, which would indicate that
an average of more than one per cent Of
seven local marriages came to the d.
vorce courts.
The divorce eases come from all walks
|of life, but there is surprisingly large
number of them from the higher social,
professional and business circles. Deser-
ton, cruelty and drunkenness are the
common charges in the divorce bills of
the poor, while such allegations as the
maintenance of separate homes for wo-
men other than their wives and the pur-
chase of costly gifts for the objects of
their devotion abound in the divorce
bills of the wealthy.
Chicago has the largest number Of di-
yorced women, their number by the last
census having been 2,4S6. In New York
there were only 1900, Of whom 600 were
in Brooklyn.
San Francisco had 1910 and Philadel-
|phia 1920, these figures only including
Iof course, divorced women who had not
REMARKED. st. Louis had nearly 1000,
and Baltimore and Kansas City, the for
mer a staid and the latter a strenuous
Town, the same number, though the po-
pulation of Baltimore is three times as
large as that of Kansas City.
Bostan, city of 100000, had 500;
Indianapolis, city of 10000 only, had
900. Washington and New Orleans, with
about the same population, had an equal
number. Denver, with less than one
half the population OF Detroit, had the
same nunlber-500 in each case.

Many Farmers Promise Their Aid to the
Federation.

lation in cotton MIR. Calvin extended

Union to the federation convention. r.

mended that the brass molders' union

The workmen who were SO strangely
laid away were John Forkin and Joseph
Gazda, two foreign speaking laborers

works but only the two sisters of Gazda,
who depended upon him for support, and
about one hundred workmen, who were

the company. Forkin had no relatives

was President Charles Harah. All heads
were barred and flags were lowered to

The Times Daily Short Story.


Il am, Hammer. III set to work this
very day on four story hive and be
fore shutdown tomorrer I'll have two
swarms of bees into 1t. BY thunder,
but I've hit it!'
Now, par
II amt swearin'; I'm Jest leetle ex-
cited. How on earth Christopher Co
lumbus, George Washington and Napo-
leon Bonaparte passed over the idea I
can't understand. Its the biggest thing
mortal man ever thunk out. and I'll
see about havin' 1t patented next week.
Meanwhile don't you lisp a word. On
your life, don't mention 1t to single
person. If they ask what the four sto-
~ beehive is, tell EN- It's henhouse."
The wife promised, and the husband
went to the barn and began his FORK
at once. It was two days before he had
the hive In place. Each swarm had
two full floors to itself, and when they
got too large the first could move up
into the second and the third into the
fourth Each swarm had Its own front
and back doors. and if they didn't get
along in a neighborly way it was not
the builders fault. a farmer six miles
away had swarms to sell. and when
the big hive was ready Mr.. Perkins
got horse and wagon and went after
inmates. The farmer wanted to talk
about bees, their habits, their little idi-
oms. and to give his customer some
pointers, but Mr.. Perkins was on his
guard. Not d word did be say to
give his secret away. He brought the
bees home at night and arranged the
hives so that they must leave them In
the morning for the larger affair, and
when be went to bed he rubbed bis
hands and said to his wife:
Hammer, / can't comprehend how !

LA TOILETTE TO BE SENATOR.
He Probably Will Relinquish the Gov
ernorship.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2l.--That Cover
nor La Toilette is actually to go to
the Senate Is no longer doubted here,
though it was reported this week that
owing to a revolt among his followers
he had decided that the only way to
save his prestige in Wisconsin was to
remain governor and send another 10
the Senate. In this connection it was
reported that |. L. Lenroot, speaker Of
the assembly, was to be the choice
for senator, instead Of governor, for
which Office he is running now. Lenroot
is the man who has caused the revolt
in the La Toilette faction in Wisconsin,
which threatened to keep the governor
in the state. At the governors wish
Lenroot announced himself as a candi-
date for the nomination for governor,
still nearly year distant. Lenroot
had preferred to run for the lower house
Of Congress against Judge Jenkins, but
gave up this project to try for the
state Office. Lenroot il subseryient to
La Toilette, while the governor was
fearful that the other candidates would
not be led by him. Lieutenant Cover
nor Davidson, State Chairman w. ID,
Conner, Senator Hatten and several 9TH
ers were suggested as candidates upon
whom La Toilette and anti-La Toilette
men could unite. but they were rejected
in favor Of Lenroot, and there is serious
question If the governors machine il
strong enough to pull Lenroot through
in the face Of the opposition. The gov
ernor is preparing TO vacate the execu-
tive residence. His own house here is
being renovated, but still there has been
no public announcement of his intention
on the question of the senatorship The
Lenroot candidacy, however, can be tax
en- as positive evidence that La Toilette
is preparing to fiji his chair with man
acceptable to himself.

Much Food Condemned.

More than 900, 900 pounds of aduterated
foods have been detected and condemned by
inspectors for the New York city Health De-
partment in the space of one week, the most
alarming increase in the traffic known TO the
department. This assertion was made by Dr.
Thomas Darlington, Commissioner OF Health,
in reply TO criticisms that his department was
dereiet in its duty in the matter of the food
supply.
This condition, DIR. Darlington said, was
confined TO no particular district, but was gen
eral throughout the city, and 1t included al
,.,ost every kind of food, although the greatest
namber of cases was in fruits, canned goods.
meats and milk. The amount condemned in
one week was equal to one-6tth of the total
amount condemned in 1904.
DIR. Darlington said that the difference ex,
isted not because so much more aduiterated
food was being brought here, but because
more of il is being detected and condemned
than ever before.
