GREAT BATTLE MAY Be Held in UTAH

ager for Jeffries. Thus, the talk among
sporting men is that Gleason and COffroth
pooled their interests, but that at the last
moment Rickard, who pulled off the
Cans Nelson fight, came in with a threat
to bid such an enormous sum that it
would not be denied.
The result was, according TO general
belief, that Gleason, already united with
COffroth in one bid for "ColEa, Ocean
View or San Francisco" also united with
or California"
Tom McCarey and Eddie Graney, both
big bidders, seemed 70 realize that they
were not to be considered seriously. Nc
Carey said before the bids were opened;
'fThe cards have been stacked against
my Los Angeles club. But if the highest
and best bid that has no private strings
attached to it is to be accepted, Los An
geies will get the fight"
After the bids were opened he said:
81 have bid the most money, a guarantee
of $4,000 and 80 per cent of the picture
proceeds. If they turn that down, it
shows that somebody is getting more
than appears on the bids submitted"
A Surprise Revealed.
The opening Of the bids today. besides
revealing the apparent Coffroth-GleasOn-
Richard combination, yielded another sur
prise-the fact that a promoter could Of
fer and back 1t with cash q purse of
$4,000 to be divided as the contestants
saw fit,
While the sporting public had commonly
agreed that this is to be the greatest
fight in the history Of the prize ring, it
was not believed that a promoter would
bid more than $4,000 and would then
claim one-third of the moving picture rev
enue. incidentally, it is cOnservatively
estimated that, if the fight runs twenty
or twenty-five rounds on a clear day, the
moving pictures. if displayed throughout
the world, viii be worth at least 100000.
Both Jeffries and Johnson appeared at
the Madison Square Garden tonight IN
what viii probably be their last similar
display before the public prior to the
fight But, contrary to expectation, the
garden was not we'll filled. Johnson came
on first and spared with a white OppOn-
ent in a mild manner. Jeffries came on
an hour and a half later and went five
snapDy rounds with Sam Berger, the fast
est work he has done in public since he
started training for the fight. The crowd
sized up Jeffries as being in good condi-
ton and showing good form, but his old
nose trouble bothered him considerably.

DuSlneSSlIke propositions submitted by
Rickard, who not only made a cash de-
post of $4,000 with Stockholders to sup
port his bid of S101 900, but offers to post
$4,000 more within sixty days, and the
other $4,000 two days before the fight
takes place. He made only one propo-
sition.
None Of the offers was accepted or re-
Jected. Decision as to who shall be
awarded the plum win be made tomor-
row, it was announced, after the bids
had been opened and given passing con-
slderation. Jeffries was not at the
meeting. He was represented by Sam
Berger, his manager. Jack Johnson was
on the scene in person, attended by his
manager, Samuel Little. Robert P
Murphy, preliminary stakeholder,
opened the bids
Nearly g thousand of the best known
sporting men and theatrical men and
promoters were present. Had the meet
ing been held at Meyers hotel, as orig
inaily planned, there would not have
been room for a quarter of those who
desired to see the bids opened and who
made a journey to Hoboken for that
purpose after Governor Hughes had
prohibited the affair being held in New
York. Several of the bidders sought for
information about the picture privilege
as soon as the gathering was ready for
business. Johnson spoke up and de-
clared that the revenue from the NOV
inc pictures must go to the fighters.

ords that nobody knows exactly what
is going on in the marriage and d.
vorce circles of the Golden state. But
Connecticut is preceded, in the order
named, by Delaware, Montana, Massa-
chusetts, Wyoming, Rhode Island and
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, though
it contains the city of Homes" has
ratio of only 255, while New York
stands only 269 In other words, a
resident of Indian Territory is almost
twice as likely to marry, provided he
has not already done so, as if he lived
in New York.
In South Central States.
Not only that, the tendency to
marry seems to flourish in certain
groups of states and to wane in GER
tain other groups. The south central
states lead the list with a ratio of
436; the south Atlantic with $50 come
next, while the north central, the
western, and the north Atlantic
groups follow in the order named.
From all of which 1t appears that
while one may go west for wealth, he
should go south if he is having diff
Guilty in finding matrimonial mate

Yet, exceeding, as we do, the mar
riage ratios of all the world except
Hungary, we are barely holding our
own. Our ratio for the ten-year period
ending in 1905 was 357. Our ratio for
the ten-year period ending in 1895
was 356.
But if the tendency toward mar
riage shows signs of having reached
its maximum, no such indication is
apparent with regard to divorce. In
that field we are bounding along, not
only at prodigious speed, but at ter
rifically increasing pace. The man
ner in which our population increases
is the wonder of the world, but it is
dwarfed by the increase of our ten
dency to break the homes we have

and, as in the preceding cause, 1t ap-
plies heavily both to men and women.
OF the divorces granted to men 10.5
per cent. were for the cruelty of their
wives. OF the divorces granted to
women 27.5 per cent. were for the
cruelty of their husbands.
In the case of both men and women
infidelity is the third cause in relative
importance. On the bare face of the
census figures it would appear that
women are more likely to be untrue
to their husbands than men are to be
untrue to their wives, since only ten
per cent of the divorces granted to
women were for the infidelity of their
husbands, while 1877 per cent. of the
divorces granted to men were for the
infidelity of their wives. But, of
course, it is not true that women sin
more than men in this respect. What
is true is that women who thus err
are more frequently found out and
less frequently forgiven. And poor
old census bureau is not, of course,
expected to tabulate such fact as
this, because the figures to sustain the
fact cannot be obtained.
Laid to Drunkenness.
Drunkenness comes forward as the
fourth cause, but it comes forward
shaky in its legs and emaciated in
form. Only 3.6 per cent of all the d.
vorces are granted because of habits
formed around hot stoves in the bar
room, and as between the sexes most
of the blame, of course, goes to the
men. Only IL per cent. of the d.
vorces granted to men swere for the
drunkenness of their wives, while 5!3
per cent. of the divorces granted to
women were for the drunkenness of
their husbands.
In relative Importance, neglect to
provide is the fifth cause, this reason
having been assigned in 81 per cent.
of the divorces granted In alleging
this grievance women would have
had a monopoly had it not been for
six gentlemen in Utah who were
actually granted divorces because

made. In 1867, there were granted in
this country 1897 divorces; in 1906,
72,O62. Population increased about
ITO per cent; divorce increased more
than 700 per cent. Furthermore, the
increase between 1890 and 1900 was
greater than that of any other decade
since 1870. The increase of divorce
exceeded the increase of population
more than 300 per cent.
Putting it in still another way, in
1870 2S divorces we're granted to
every 100000 of population; in 1900,
70 divorces were granted to every
100000 of population.
Figures for Divorces.
Only once during the last 40 years
has the number of divorces actually
shown a decrease. That was in 1884
when there was decline of 2O4 over
the number granted during the pre-
ceding year. In 1870, 1894 and 1902
there was decline in the rate, though
an increase in the number. Doubtless
there was also a decline in 1908,
though the figures have not been COM
piled. The reason for believing there
was a decline last year is that there
was a panic in 1907. Panics invari-
ably check the tendency toward in
creased divorce. When times are
hard people forget their domestic
troubles for time and occupy their
minds with the problem of how to get
living. AS soon as times improve
the rate usually bounds upward with
rapidity that indicates that nothing
has been forgotten or forgiven-or
nothing learned. Accumulated griey-
ances are worked of in the divorce
court. and the tide sweeps on more
rapidly than before.
Where in the United States would
one naturally expect to find the great.
est tendency toward divorce? In what
state? Not one person in hundred
could guess right If he were given a
dozen chances.
Washington is the state. Far from
the stress Of modern industrial life;
away across the country where the
people. for the most part, are engaged
in agricultural pursuits-there 51s
