EFFORT IN KANSAS CITY
TO LESSEN DIVORCE EVIL
Proctor to Be Installed to See
That the Law Is Fully
Complied With.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, November S-A
divorce proctor whose salary is to be
paid from fund raised by the reform
organizations of Kansas City. to cope
with the divorce evil" is to be in
stalled here November 3D. This office
was created as a result of criticism OF
the divorce machinery of this county.
Mismated persons, taking advantage of
it. have come to Kansas City from va
rious points and have been granted sep
aration on slight pretexts and short resi-
dence.
The proctor will have the power to sum-
mon witnesses, to go into other states
and take dispositions and to cross-examine
witnesses at the trial here of persons
who seek a legal separation. Judges, at
torneys and the reform leaders interested
predict that the new office will become
generally established. The Kansas State
Bar Association also has under consid-
GRAFTON a plan to appoint proctors in the
large cities of that state.
In the last year the ratio of divorces
to marriages in this city was one to four.
During the twenty-three court days of
October, 1911, eighty-six divorce suits
We're filed here as compared with twenty
four suits brought in the corresponding
time last year. Fifty divorces were
granted in one day at the last term of
court. and seventy four suits were filed
on another day. OF the suits tried here
in the last year about so per cent were
not contested. OF the default cases one
third were filed by non-residents Of the
state, Notwithstanding that the law re-
quires persons from other states to live
here a year to establish a residence.
Personal service on the defendant is not
olisatory.
The judges have agreed to postpone
hearing divorce proceedings till the
proctor. can get first-hand evidence in all
suspected cases.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF DUCKS.
Consignment Arrives Here From the
North Carolina Sounds.

The hunting season on the North Caro-
lima sounds opered November /, and the
first shipment Of wild ducks from that
section arrived at the nth street wharf
market yesterday. They were consigned
to George Carroll. and consisted of about
200 red and black heads. The demand
for them was good and they sold to up
town dealers OF so cents per pair for
black heads and $1.50 per pair for red
heads Reports coming from the North
Carolina sounds state that as yet the
birds are rather scarce. but with the COM
ing of steadily cold weather they are
expected to arrive In good numbers.
Though the hunting season on the Poto-
mac opened November 1, ducks have as
yet been very scarce. and practically the
only ducks seen have been crow and like
small varieties. The hunters on the river
state that they do not look for the birds
until there comes a spell Of cold north
west wind with snap enough in 1t to
make ice along the river banks The
ducks usually follow weather of this kind
they say. but Of recent years they have
been very scarce, particularly on the
upper river.

Fail in Church Leadership.

Bishop Darlington praised the laity of
the Episcopal Church in terms of high
est commentator, and declared that ever
since the days of Washington and Pat
rick Henry the Episcopal layman has
been a leader in political as well as in
dustrial affairs He cited exceptional in
stances where the Episcopal laymen have
led the country, but as a warning note
he told them frankly that they have not
led in church affairs.
Vigorously maintaining that the only
hope for the church in the future was
in the understanding between the clergy
and laity, Bishop Darlington declared
that in church clubs there should be no
discrimination between the laity and the
clergy. Clergymen, he said. should be
open to suggestions regarding the church
and its work, as he is the ruler in his
church, and it is his duty to the congre-
cation to give them the right to appeal.
Each minister should have a telephone
in his house. even at the expense of the
church, and should live on the street car
line, so that there would be no excuse,
he said. for the members of his congre-
cation not to call on him to ask his adj
vice and to offer proper suggestions. He
strongly advised the clergy and laymen
of the church to study the methods en-
ployed in other churches to interest men
and women, particularly in regard to the
mission work.

More than 200 laymen Of the Protestant
