Paris. July From Toulon comes
an account of suicide committed for
very odd reason by a naval officer.
twenty-seven years of age. who, as he
had failed to suffocate himself with a
couple of pans of charcoal, lodged a
bullet in his heart. He had been liv-
ing six years with young woman, and
he left letter in which he asked his
parents, who reside at Bette. to give
her some of the money which he had
lying at the savings bank, and the re-
mainder to his sister
The officers motive for putting an
end to his days seems utterly absurd
but it is gravely recorded in the dis
patch from Toulon. According to his
explanation, he paid a visit to a colt
feur two months ago, and his hair was
too closely cropped, that his appear
ance was completely changed. This, i:
is said, preyed on his mind. and he
felt that he could live no longer II
might be thought that his hair. such
as it was, would have had ample time
to grow in two months; but, at any

One Divorce to Every Fifteen
Marriages Is the Record
Made in America.

(American News Service)

London, July 2.-Statistics showed
that at the present time in the United
States one marriage in every fifteen o.
sixteen would ultimately be dissolved
by divorce.
This startling statement was made
before the Divorce Commission by Mr.
X. Newton Crane, member of the
of the English Bar. Figures compiled
by the United States Government (he
added showed that divorce was more
prevalent In America than in any
other country, Japan alone excepted.
In the United States in 1900 seventy
three divorces per 100000 of the popu.
lation were granted. In Japan there
were 215 per 100000 The average for
European countries was about ten
while in England and Wales only two
per 100000.
Personally, said Mr.. Crane, he was
Of opinion that the frequency of di
vorce In the States and the growing in.
difference to the duty and obligation
OF marriage, were primarily due IN
the fact that marriage in America was
defined by statute to be merely a civil
contract, and that no form of solemniz-
Ing the ceremony was required. In
the Western States the rite OF mar.
riage was performed by justices of the
peace. who were often keepers Of pub.
lie houses, and his court frequently
adjourned to the bar.
Marriage Ia Too Easy.
Persons thus married had no com.
prehension Of the solemnity of their
engagement. Marriage which had no
better sanctity than attended the maxi
ing OF n promissory note could not be
more highly regarded by the majority
OF thoughtless persons than the obi
cations OF an ordinary commercial
transaction.
Most OF the American States had set
an example to this country by taking
steps to provide against improvident
marriages. Generally the marriage
age has been raised from the common
law rule OF fourteen and twelve to
eighteen and sixteen years. In certain
states a medical certificate as to the
physical condition of those desiring
to marry is required. What was want.
ed was middle course between the
laxity of American law and the diff
Guilty which attended the obtaining OF
divorce In England. There were too
many causes for divorce in America;
two few in England.
Mr.. Crane added that the greater
number of divorce cases in the United
States as compared with England did
not mean that there was greater i'm
morality In the States. II was due
rather to the levity with which people
regarded marriage. and legal laxity as
to the marriage tie. There was un
doubtedly a great deal OF Illusion.
Answering the chairman. Mr.. Crane
said that perhaps the standard OF NOR
atty was higher In the United States
than In England: at any rate II was

peculiar Arcadian simplicity charac'

New York, July 2.-Wall Street is
again burning incense to the gods i.
would mollify. It does this whenever
the wrath Of popular disapproyal OF
its ways looms menacingly on the leg
islatiye horizon and becomes over as
sertiye. The Street is never so pitt
able as when it offers sacrifice. This
week the Board of Governors OF the
Stock Exchange suspended E. F. Hut
ton & Company for a year from doing
any business on the exchange. The
reason given for the suspension was
violation of the exchange rules respect
ing commissions. Oscar L. Richard,
president of the State Bank, filed
charges against Hutton & company.
elleging that they had allowed his son,
Walter l.. Richard, while he was an
employee of another brokerage house,
to speculate with them. in disregard
of the rules of the exchange which pro-
hibits the acceptance of orders from
employees of houses in the financial
district. Hutton x company, while
admitting that young Richard and his
brother lost more than $4,000 with
them, claim that their suspension was
not due to the Richard charge but to
quite another unspecified cause.
