DIVORCE INQUIRY
is INSTITUTED
Census Bureau to Collect Statistics
Under Special Direction of
Carroll D. Wright.

Washington. Aug. IA thorough
inquiry into marriage and divorce in
the United States has been ordered by
the census bureau, and special agents
have been sent into the field to begin
their search into the records of New
York state on August 1. About forty
men will be assigned to that district.
The investigation is to be undertaken
simultaneously In the larger cities
throughout the country.
There will be an immense amount of
work connected With it, as there have
beer no divorce statistics compiled
since those of 1889, covering the rec
1856 inclusive.
President Roosevelt urgently recon-
mended that a special report on the
marriage and divorce conditions of the
United States up to date be compiled,
and congress authorized the census bu-
reau u undertake the investigation.
The compilation is to be thorough, and
recourse is to be had to court records,
vital statistics and all other sources
Of accurate information.
The work will be under the special
supervision of Carroll d. Wright, for
mer commissioner of labor, who made
the first report on this subject, and has
undertaken the present investigation
In the capacity of expert special agent.
The report will cover twenty years. A
large number of clerks engaged on the
manufactures census will be assigned
to the new task. The statistics gath
cred will probably be used in the effort
to secure national divorce legislation.

TO Pieces.

street of Wellington, and with hundreds
of persons watching him, yet afraid to in
~terfere, Graham d. Dibbs, blew himself
into shreds with dynamite.

carrying a package of dynamite. In front
of the Wellington National bank he
stopped, tied the package about his neck
and produced a fuse which he tely
lighted. Dibbs slowly blew out the match
with which he had lighted the fuse and
tossed 1t toward the crowd.
AS the fire crept toward the package
around D.bbs' neck he shouted to the spec
tators to get OUT of the way of the expo
sion. Then he seemed to lose courage. He
began to pull and tug at the package and
the fuse, but it was too late to avert the
explosion. A hole was torn in the street
where Dibbs had stood. but no trace of the
body could be found near the scene.
Small bits of clothing and flesh were
found several rods away The explosion
shattered the windows in nearly every
house iii town.
