GOVERNMENT. AGENT HERE
SEEKING DATA ON DIVORCE
of the Census Bureau
VIII Gather Information From
the Records.

Howard Ward, representative of
the United States Census Bureau, has
arrived here from Washington to ar
range for the coming Of special agent
of the same department who has been
assigned to the duty of gathering sta
tistics of divorces in California. 1t
was the original intention of the Cen
sus Bureau officials to send an agent
and corps of assistants here to pur-
sue the investigation through the rec
ords of several years. but in view of
the fact that the records of San Fran
cisco were destroyed in the recent fire
this work has been imposed on one man
and an assistant.
The work has been undertaken un-
der an authorization of Congress. The
investigation has already been started
in the larger Eastern cities, and as
soon as the work there has been fin
ished the investigators will go TO the
county seats in various States. The
Government does not pay any atten-
tion to names, explained Ward at the
ST. Francis Hotel yesterday, but seeks
information regarding the State and
county in which the contestants were
married, date of the ceremony, the
fling of the suit, whether the latter
was contested and the final decree. 1t
also wants information as to whether
alimony was allowed, the number of
children that were the fruit of the
marriage and the causes that led to
the separation. and particularly as to
cases where intemperance was the di-
re ct cause.
