BOMB" IN CHURCH CELLAR.
Caused Big Excitement. But Was
Merely Pocket Electric Light.

lphia.-"Look out! He's got
a bomb!" This was the cry that
greeted Patrick Morris as he ran
through the streets uptown with a
MISUNDERSTANDING box under his arm.
Men, women and children gave him a
wide berth as he sped toward the
Tenth district police station at Front
and Master streets. And number Of
policemen looked the other way as he
passed them. House Sergt. Lins
dropped his pipe and two policemen
fell off their chairs as Morris dashed
in and gasped: IT'S a bomb!." He
laid It on the desk and retreated to
the door.
For a few minutes the policemen
looked at the Internal machine without
moving. The bomb throwing and the
firebugs crusade were fresh In their
minds. Finally the cops approached it
cautiously, while crowd outside-at
a safe distance-waited to see the sta.
tion house go up in the air.
Sergt. Lins finally approached to
within three feet of the box Then his
courage returned. He pulled out his
penknife and gently lifted the lid
while the cops squeezed in behind the
doors.
Very gingerly Lins put his hand In
the box and pulled out long cylindri-
cal black object. 1t was pocket cleo.
trio light.
Morris then reentered the station
house. He is janitor of the Immaculate
Conception church, Front and Master
streets, and found the light on the Gel.
lar floor when he went to fix the fires.
1t had evidently been dropped by a
workman who was repairing pipes in

according to a memorandum still In

In the 3S years that have passed
since Mr. Barnett has not lost his in

success, and a description OF II, with

INCREASE in DIVORCE

four married couples out of every
1000 secure a divorce.
This does not mean that only four
marriages out of 1000 are terminated
by divorce. The rate, II will be noted,
is an annual rate, continuously oper-
alive, and comes far short of measur
ing the probability of ultimate divorce
The available data indicate, however,
that not less than one marriage in IL
is ultimately terminated by divorce.
Divorce rates appear to be much
higher in the United States than in
any of the foreign countries for which
statistics relating to this subject have
been obtained.
The most common single ground for
divorce Is desertion. This accounts
for 1873 per cent. of all divorces
(period 1887 to 1906; 49.4 per cent,
or almost one.half, of those granted to
the husband, and 1915 per cent, or
one-third. of those granted to the
wife.
Drunkenness was the ground for
divorce in 5.3 per cent. of the cases in
which the wife brought suit, and in
IL per cent of the cases in which
the suit was brought by the husband.
or the divorced couples known to
have been married in the United
States, SS5 per cent. were married
in the same state in which they were
divorced and 2l.5 per cent in other
states.

CENSUS BUREAU SHOWS NEARLY

Gaining About Three Times as Fast as
Population-Desert and Drink
Leading Causes-Raise In
Marriage Rate.

Washington.-Divorce and marriage
statistics for 20 years, from 1887 to
1906 inclusive, are embodied in COM
pilation just completed by the United
States census bureau.
The report is the second of its kind
issued under federal authority, and
embodies the results of its predeces-
sor, beside presenting new and more
recent data.
The total number of marriages re-
corded during the 20 years from 1887
to 1906 inclusive was 12,S32,044. The
number annually reported increased
from 4S3,O69 in the year 1887 to $685.
200 in the year 1906.
The marriage rate in the United
States in the year 1900 was SO per TO-.
900 population.
The total number of divorces re-
ported for the 20 years, 1887 to 1906,
Inclusive, was 945,625. For the earlier
investigation, covering the 20 years,
1867 to 1886, inclusive, the number re-
ported was 32S,716, or hardly more
than one.third of the number recorded
In the second 20 years. At the begin
ming Of the 40.year period, covered by
the two investigations, divorces &C.
Cured at the rate OF 10000 year; at
the end of that period the annual num-
Der was about $4,000. This increase,
however, must be considered in con-
nection with increase in population.
An increase of 30 per cent. in popu-
lation between the years 1870 to 1880
was accompanied by an Increase OF 70
| per cent in the number of divorces
granted. In the next decade, 1880 to
1890, the population increased 20 per
cent. and divorces 20 per cent, and In
the following decade, 1890 to 1900, an
Increase Of 81 per cent. In population
was accompanied by an Increase of &C
per cent in the number of divorces
In the six years from 1900 to 1906
population, as estimated, increased
1915 per cent. and divorces 20,3 pei
cent.
1t thus appears that at the end OF
the 40.year period divorces were In
creasing about three times as fast as
population, while in the first decade
.(1S70 to 1SS0) they increased only
about two and two-thirds as fast
The divorce rate per 100000 popula
ton increased from 80 in 1870 to so in
1905. In the former year there was
one divorce for every 3,441 persons
and in the latter year one for every
1918. Since It is only married people
who can become divorced, a more sig
nificant divorce rate is that which is
based not upon total population buI
upon the total married population
The rate per 100000 married popula
ton was 81 in the year 1870 and 200 IL
the year 1900. This comparison indi
Gates that divorce is at the present
two and one-half times as common
compared with married population, as
II was 40 years ago. A divorce rate
of 200 per 100000 married population
Is equivalent TO two per | 900 married
population Assuming that l,0O(
married people represent 500 married
couples, it follows that in each yeal

DECISION
IN REFERENCE TO CASES OF BANK
 RUPTCY.
Judge Hundley HoIds That Statutes Contain No Provision for Punish
 ing COrpOration For Hiding s Out Bankrupt stock.

Birmingham. March 7--(Special)- Judge O. R. Hundley in the Federal Court today handed down a far reach ing decision in reference to bankrupt cy cases.
 He decided that there is no pro- vision in the national bankruptcy law which renders corporations liable to prosecution for fraudulent disposal of bankrupt stocks. Judge Hundley holds that individuals cannot be prose- cuted for disposing of bankrupt stocks with the exception of the bankrupt himself. The case on trial was that of Max Lefkovits, Sam Lefkovits, Sol Er- lick, Phil Brick, Herman Levison, l. Gordon and N. Goldberg, all of Besse- mer. They were charged with con- spring to conceal a bankrupt stock from the trustee.
 The charges against Max Lefkovfts personally were knocked out at a previous session of the court A de- murrer was presented by the attor- neys for the defendants on the grounds that the bankruptcy law contained no penal provision covering the alleged offense. The demurrer was sustained by the court In arguing the question of law involved. 1t was discovered that the statute contained no provision under which a corporation could be punished for making away with a bankrupt stock, as a corporation cannot be imprisoned. and there is no other provision for the imposition of a fine.

 Above are the gains of votes regis- tered in The Advertisers prize con- test yesterday. It was a field day for most of the contestants, and the total number of votes cast was larger than on any previous day of the contest. As 1t was the last day of bargain week. there was much scurrying for new subscriptions and the result was quite satisfactory to most of the contestants, who reaped rich harvest of votes.
 Not since the contest opened has the contest department of The Advertiser been so busy. Owing to the lateness of the hour when the count for the time left for comment on the race. The figures must tell the story.
 There is only time to remark that Miss Sallie Watkins Wood has again reached the top of the column. while Miss Virginia Bragg Smith is second. Miss Williams of Mobile third and Mrs. John Bryan fourth. From first to fourth place is quite a fall for Mrs. Bryan, but her report for Saturday did hOL 6cL HI III tlli6 to D0 lHcluueO III today's score, so perhaps she Is still in the lead in reality, after all.
 Mrs. Ritch's gain was the largest of the day, and she still is to be reck- oned with as winner of first prize in the end.
 Further comment must be held for Mondays paper.
 The contest will close, next Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, and all votes must be in The Advertiser office by that time or on the way. Further details as to the manner of winding up of the contest will appear in Mondays paper. It may be hot elsewhere, but at thu THEATO 1t is always cool and comfort, | able

RAILROAD MEN INDICTED.
Grand Jury of Jefferson County Inves-
 tigates Recent Wreeks.

-
 Birmingham, March 7-(Special. )- The grand jury officially investigated the cause of the wreck at Pratt City last October of a Frisco passenger and Louisville and Nashville freight train.
 As a result of the investigation i'm dictments were returned against J. E. Donahue and C. W. Hathaway. mem- bers of the Louisville and Nashville train crew. The men are charged with manslaughter in the second de- gree because of the death of Julius Clifford Smith, a Pullman conductor, whose body was badly mangled Capias were issued early this week and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Gilbert of Ensley, where the two rail- road men reside. It is understood that the capias were given him be- cause he is in a position to see the men most every day they pass through Ensley or when they are at home from work.
 The grand jury by returning the indictment sets a new example, it being the first indictment of the kind in a long time. The wreck. it will be rememb cred, occurred early in the morning. The Frisco and the Louis vile and Nashville cross at Pratt City. According to all accounts, a freight of the Louisville and Nashville came along and crashed into the Pull man cars of the passing Frisco train. Conductor Smith, who was a brother of the lamented Eli P. Smith. was on the platform between the two cars and probably never knew what struck him. Several of the passengers were hurt and the loss of life might have been greater had the engine struck the center of the car instead of the end.
 Credit for the investigation of the wreck is due Solicitor H. P. Hetlin' who saw ot it that witnesses were dulv summoned before the inquisitors After hearing the evidence the grand jury reached the conclusion that two members of the freight train crew should answer for manslaughter in the second degree.
