FREAK OF A MADMAN
WOUNDS NINE PERSONS AND

Deserted Wife Commits Suicide in

After holding 1000 persons at bay for
two hours in Eddy street. San Francisco,
shooting nine people and defying the po-
lice. Thomas LObb, a maniac, killed him
self. The insane man was barricaded in
his room on the fourth floor of the Unit
ed States Hotel 123 Eddy street. The
first that became known that there was
a mailman in the hotel was when he be-
gan to fire through the window of his
room at people passing upon the street.
Several pedestrians were injured before
a warning could be given, and then an
attempt was made to capture the maniac.
The police, who had been hastily sum-
moned, were joined by. ! 900 persons who
had been attracted by the sound of the
shooting. All attempts to dislodge the
crazed man were futile, and police and
citizens were held at bay by the deadly
fire which he poured alternately into the
street and then into the hotel corridors.
He was armed with both rife and shot
gun, the latter of which seeemd to be his
favorite weapon. The police attempted
TO reach him by getting into an adjoining
room from which they opened fire. This
was quickly answered. and a policeman
fell wounded. The battle had waged for
more than an hour when the firing sud
room occupied by the maniac. A cautious
investigation revealed the fact that he
had taken his own life by shooting.

FACTS ABOUT :
: g.: : THE CENSUS.

The Federal Census Bureau will soon
send a large force of employees into ev
cry State in the Union to gather facts
and statistics concerning marriage and
divorce. The plans for the investigation
which Congress ordered last winter upon
the suggestion of President Roosevelt.
are finished, and the field force of the
bureau, now just completing the cOllec
ton of material for the census of man
ufactures, will shortly be available fol-
the work.
Not since 1889 has any systematic
compilation of such facts been made,
and the great changes which have come
about since then have made it clear that
a new gathering of statistics is desirable
for purposes of general information.
while it is absolutely essential if any
action IS to be taken toward securing
better legislation on these subjects.
The census bureau will collect and
analyze the provisions of the marriage
and divorce laws in each State and Ter
ritory. 1t will get as complete statistics
of marriages and divorces as possible
since 1889, and it will aim to discover in
each State the prevailing grounds on
which divorces are applled Tor ana grant
ed. State officials will be asked to fur
nish such figures as they have gathered,
but as their work, even where they have
any results to show, is usually very in.
complete, this must be supplemented by
resort to original records.
The chaos of our marriage and divorce
laws which has resulted from the free
activity of the different State Legisla-
lures, will undoubtedly be shown in vivid
fashion by the report. A strong impetus
TO the movement for simplifcation and
reform, either by securing joint action
among the States or by constitutional
amendment granting Congress the power
to legislate in this field, may be expected
