DIVORCE ON INCREASE;
WOMEN TO BLAME?
The Ohio Secretary of States Makes
Answer in His
Report.

Cincinnati, Sept. 26.-Whose love
lasts which tires first OF the, marriage
bonds the lover or the brideg The
answer to this question is found in the
new report OF Secretary of State Graves,
Ii divorce is an index, womans love
grows cold first, the secretary thinks.
Two hundred aud seventy five divorces
were granted to husbands in the Ohio
courts last year on the ground Of their
wives unfaithfulness. That's nearly
twice as many as wives got for the same
reason.
In Ohio, more than one out OF every
eight marriages finds its sequel in the
divorce court. Last year 1887 brides
vowed eternal love and obedience at the
altar To-day 1874 OF them are d.
vorcees. In addition to the thousands
OF divorces granted over 5000 tried to
get divorces, but failed because the
court refused to grant DEGREES.
Divorce in Ohio is on the increase,
while marriage is declining. While the
figures above show that one divorce is
granted for each eight marriages the
total number of divorces sought is one
out of every three marriages.
There are many who say that the de-
crease in marriage is due to the increased
cost of living In 1907 and 1908, more
than 10000 couples were married in
Ohio against $1,000 last year.

the twig in the hands of the dowscf
performed the convolutions that are sup
posed to indicate the existence OF a.
spring. That being 50, it seems at least
worth while to inquire whether all OF
these instances are to be attributed to
coincidence or whether they have been
governed by some common cause. Scep
ticism in the face Of unexplained phe
nomena is the perfectly correct scientific
attitude, but scepticism may properly be
tempered with readiness TO make inn
partial inquiry, as it has been in Sir
Oliver Lodges Investigations into spir-
itualistic phenomena.
The explanation of the divining rod
seems to come within the scope of psy.
chology rather than OF natural science,
and psychologists are inclined to advance
the theory that the bending OF the rod
is due to unconscious muscular move
ment on the part OF the dowser in the
same way as, in parlor mind reading
performances, tine person holding the
hands OF another unconsciously guides
him to the hidden object.
In most respects reason in the human
being has taken place of instinct in
the animal, but the human still retains
numerous traces OF instinct. 1t seems,
therefore, tenable hypothesis that GER
tain persons are gifted with what may
almost be called an instructive percep-
tion OF a place where water is likely
to be found and that this instructive
perception is communicated by an in
voluntary muscular movement to the
twg. As Professor Roswell 2. Angler
of the department OF psychology at Yale
puts it. at is not anything in the rod
itself that indicates the water, but the
involuntary movement of the man in re-
Spouse to his still unconscious feel that
this is the place
At any rate, in number of instances
water has been found at the spot where
the divining rod has switched, and since
the psychological explanation seems to
fit tine facts it is not necessary to con-
denim the dowser as trickster and Il
charlatan or those who employ his serv-
ICES in the last resort as the credulous
victims Of medieval superstitution.

ORDERED SPECTATORS OUT.
After Rumors of Intimidation Of Ten
nessee Legislators by "Gunmen"

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-After an
other exciting day in the Tennessee
House OF Representatives, leaders OF the
political factions which have banded
charges that gunner were being used
to intimidate legislators, reached an
agreement late yesterday afternoon to
clear the capitol of all spectators. The
state senate was not in session and
members of that body. city detectives,
policemen and state officials not present
on official business were included in the
request" to leave the capitol and the
state house grounds. This action was
taken as precaution against threat
ened open clash between the factions
that are fighting over the so-called liquor
enforcement bills.
All the partisans Of the opposing leg
islatiye factions finally left the building
and the House was again called to order.
The regulars yesterday continued their
tilibuster against the law enforcement
bills. These bills, three in number, are
designed to strengthen the statewide
prohibition laws. They prohibit the
shipment OF liquor within the borders Of
the state and provide for action in Grim
inal or civil courts to declare saloons
public nuisances upon petition OF 10
taxpayers. All three of the measures
passed the Senate by close vote.

whole, about 80 per cent; Venezuela
over 30 per cent; Colombia and Ecuador
each about Is per cent; Paraguay, 3%

between 10 and 20 per cent.
Imports into the United States from
Latin America show large gains dur

1918 having been SAL 100000, against
1892 100000 in 1900. The percentage OF
gain in imports from those countries
was thus III per cent, against an in

DOUBLE ACCIDENT.
Automobile Overturned and Then De.
molished by Train.

| birmingham, Mass, Sept. 26.-Three
! Brookline women and their chauffeur
| twice narrowly escaped serious injury
early last night, when their automobile
| first skidded into an embankment after
losing a wheel, turned on its side and
was then struck by freight train and
completely demolished at the Pleasant
street crossing over the New York, New
! Haven d Hartford railroad tracks, at
birmingham Center.
Mrs. Nathaniel G. Pierce of 27T st.
Paul street, Brookline, and wife of the
owner of the car, was the only one
| injured, and she sustained simply a
slight bruise on the arm. The other
women with her were her daughter-in-
law. Mrs. William E. Pierce, and Miss
Williams, friend.
According to R. w Byrd of this town,
he attempted to flag the train about 300
feet from where it struck the auto by
waving the rear red light of his own
automobile, but the train ran by him.
He added that he stood between the
tracks as long as possible and then
yelled to the engineer as the train went
by. The engineer applied the brakes
then, but the train had struck the auto
and ground it to pieces.
Mr.. Pierce was telephoned of the acct
dent. and his son, William +. Pierce,
secured another automobile, came here
from Brookline and took the party
home.
The three women had been out for an
afternoon drive and were returning to
Brookline when the first accident oc-
Cured at about 1880. just as the ma
chine neared the railroad crossing on
Pleasant street, one of the front wheels
fell off, and the machine skidded into
the embankment alongside the street
crossing. As it turned over, the three
women and the chauffeur jumped, Mrs.
Pierce receiving the bruise on the arm
as the machine struck. the tracks.
Mr.. Byrd was following close behind
in his auto and according to his state
ment the party had hardly been ont of
the machine before the freight train
hit it.
The train was coming from the direc-
ton of Lowell and consisted of loco
motive and about Is cars.

MILLION-EI0LLAR
TRADE EACH DAY
From United States to Latin-America,
According to Figures Just Pre-
pared by Department of Com

Washington. d. c., Sept. 26. Exports
from the United States to Latin America
in the fiscal year 1918 amounted to 81,
100000 for. every business day in the
year and show an increase of nearly 200
per cent since 1900. In the term latin
America" are included South America
Except the Guianasl, Central American
republics, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, and Santo
Domingo. The value of exports from
the United States to these countries in
the fiscal year 1913 was 1921 ,000,00u
against s10S,000,000 in 1900, an increase
OF 1877 per cent, while the exports to
other parts of tho world We're increasing
but 81 per cent.
The most rapid gains in the exports
to Latin America countries during the
period under consideration occurred in
the trade with Argentina and Brazil
The value of merchandise exported to
Argentina in 1900 was 81 100000, and
in 1918 over $52750000; to Brazil, in
1900, 81 500 600, and in 1913, $42 $685.
COO. Cuba showed a marked gain, though
not so large a percentage OF gain as
shown in the trade with Brazil the ex-
ports to that island in 1900 having been
S26 500 900, and in 1913, S54 500 900. EX-
ports to Uruguay show very large
percentage of gain, the value of mer-
chandise sent to that country in 1900
having been less than 100000, and
in 1918, S7,5O0,000. To Peru the eX-
ports increased from 81 100000 in 1900,
to 81 1873 900 in 1913; to Chile, in 1900,
So 100000, in 1913, Sl8000,000; to Co.

BETTER WAGES

Peace Near with Dublin
Transport Work
erS

London, Sept. 26-All the strikes in
Great Britain were settled yesterday
when the directors of the Manchester
Ship canal agreed to consider the claims
OF their dock laborers for better wages
and the coal miners at Ponty -Pridd,
South Wales, returned to work which
they left on Sept. II owing to the en-
ployment of a non-unionist, The only

in the Republican national convention Of
1905, in which he sat as delegate he
favored and voted for change in the
rules winch now makes the population
OF Che state the basis of representation
so that such representation might be
based upon the Republican vote IN each
state. The senator said had this poll
icy been adopted. the trouble in the last
national convention growing out of thu
southern vote would have been avoided
The Republican convention. he said
should be made up of delegates repre-.
senting the Republican party of the ma
ton, and it follows that the states where
Republicanism more largely abounds
should be more largely represented than
those in which it is in a hopeless mn
nority. The adoption of this change
would remove all suspicion of improper
influences in this matter
When asked if there was anything
new regarding the immigration ques-
ton, he said he had already introduced
a bill which was similar in most of its
features to his bill which in the last
Congress passed both House and Senate
by overwhelming majorities, but which
was vetoed by President Taft The
senator feels confident that either the
reading test will be adopted az a means
of reducing the number of undesirable
immigrants, or the plan which he has
more recently suggested of limiting the
number to be admitted from any one
nation in any one year to ten per cent
of the number of that nationality which
has been admitted during the last ten
years.
This, it is believed. will encourage de-
sirable immigration, and limit the vol
ume of the undesirable classes admit
ted. Former Commissioner of lmmigra
ton Keefe, who recently retired, in
published statement, favors the latter
scheme.
The senator expressed his gratiica
ton that in the recent Republican state
primary contest in Massachusetts, Con
gresham Gardner, who has been nomi
mated as the party candidate for gov
ernor. made the question of the restric-
ton of immigration prominent issue
before the people. No man in either
branch of Congress, said the senator
has a broader knowledge of the question
of immigrat ton nor better acquaintance
with the details of legislation relating
thereto, and during the tendency of the
immigration bill in the last Congress
the influence of no man was greater than
his in securing its adoption.
The senator is spending few days in
Montpelier and expects soon to return,
to Washington.
