New York, Aug. 21.-Discovery has
been made by investigators for the
United States census bureau who ara
looking UP divorce statistics in this
city that many of the divorce decisions
in the old court Of common pleas are
imperative because no decree has been
entered upon the records. IN hundreds
Of cases in which the court has ordered
that DEGREES Of divorce or separation
should issue the order for judgment
has not been submitted to the C0art
By counsel for the successful parry
Thus no final order could issue.
It is believed that in many 81, i
cases the parties to the divorce have
been married again. 1t is stated that
such marriages are void. and can only
be legaliZed by action OF the legis' a
ture. and that much confusion and in
convenience to tie interested parties IS
