RUIN OF MILLIONS
DIVORCES WORK
illinois Board Demands Federal
Control of Problem Held
Nation Peril.

Chicago, Jan. 24-Divorce was de-
clared the greatest menace to the ma
ton yesterday by the Illinois commits
sion on uniform marriage and divorce
laws, which met in the chambers Of
Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh. At the
same time the commission voted to
adopt a report declaring federal con-
troll of marriage and divorce as the
only adequate solution Of the problem.
| The report adopted was prepared by
committee composed Of Judges Kav-
anagh and HTgo Pam and Rev. w. O.
Waters.
The most striking portion of the in
dictment Of divorce drawn up by the
committee follows:
THE divorce evil, by it's rapid and
widespread growth in the United
States, has become a danger so dead
ly that it threatens not only the moral
health, but the very life Of the ma
ton.
within the last 80 years divorce
has increased, on an average, more
than three and one-third times as fast
as the population. In the year 1912 it
may safely be said that 100000 d.
vorces were granted. 1t Is conserva-
tive to say that 100000 children, most
! ly under 10 years of age, were made
divorce orphans, being deprived of one
or both of their parents, and that
100000 homes, actual or potential,
were wrecked hopelessly and as utter
ly wiped out as by an infinite confiag-
ration. This situation we'll called forth
from Gladstone the expression, 'Di-
vorce constitutes the greatest menace
to American institutions.
The recommendation of the commit
tee was:
''The law, whatever else happens,
must stand for the demonstrating its
sanctity, insisting upon its preserva-
tion-so that side by side with the
uniform divorce law must be a uni
form marriage law To this end a uni
form federal law Oh marriage and di-
vorce must be demanded, based on an
amendment to the federal constitution
and valid anywhere.
I'VE should at once secure the franz
ing of these uniform laws ald ask the
legislatures of our states to petition
congress for an amendment of the con-
stitution along the lines of the law
submitted. In the ihterim we should
secure the adoption Of these laws by
the legislatures of as many states as
possible, so that we may have the
benefits thereof obtainable in as many
states as possible at the earliest OPP
Iportunity.''
1t was decided that this report, af-
ter some revision, will be mailed to
all organizations and Individuals OF
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-01-24

the state that may be able to give. as
sistance in obtaining the desired re-
forms.
Judge Kavanagh advocated a d.
vorce bureau established by the ma
tional government.
IF the divorce problem Is success
fully handled It must be handled by
the nation as a whole" he said. only
in that way can we cut away the fraud
ulent divorce cancer. The long arm
of the government is needed to get the
evidence necessary to do away with
fraud If the husband is In one state
and the wife in another extraterritorisl
power Is needed to insure the absence
Of COLLISION
II think we ought to have q bureau
Of divorce 80 that II man or woman
wished an annulment of their marriage
they would have to apply to this bu-
reau. which would make an tnvestigar
ton. This bureau should be similar
to the bureau which investigates the
cases Of those wishing to become cit
liens"
John T. Richards, president of the
Chicago Bar association, said that one
difficulty arising out Of lack Of uni
formity Of the laws Is that a decree Of
divorce IN one state is not always ef-
fective in another. He also said that
there should be a provision in the law
making cruelty of any kind, whether
physical or not, a ground for divorce.
! Several speakers dwelt on the ex-
cellence of the Illinois divorce code,
but declared that law governing mar
riage is badly needed
On the question of marriage the re-
port says:
1--WE can never hope to eradicate the
evils Of the divorce court until we
safeguard the morals and the health
of the community by just, sane and
adequate marriage laws. The same
necessity for uniformity OF marriage
laws exists as for divorce laws"
The commission will hold another
meeting next Thursday.

JAIL COMMITTEE
NOT IMPLICATED

Members Of the jail committee OF
the board OF supervisors deny that
they were responsible IN any degree
for the escape of Thomas Smith from
the county jail yesterday morning, the
story Of which was related in The
Argus last evening. The story made
it seem that the supervisors had caus-
ed Smith TO be made ''trusty," there
by giving him an opportunity 10 es-
cape. Regarding the matter Super
visors J. f. Larkin and Edward Cool
SID today: THE committee and the
board had absolutely nothing to do
with this case. Smith was made a
trusty by the deputy sheriff in charge
at the county jail and while we feel
a mistake was made in appointing a
long term man TO serve in the engi-
neer's room, still We have given no
censure. The providing Of Smith with
clothes, the naming him as a trusty
when he had nearly so days yet 70
serve, and his subsequent escape, are
q matter in which the committee had
absolutely no part and naturally we
resent the insinuation cast upon US"

thief or thieves TO beat a hasty re-

near vicinity showed which course
me bandits took in getting away, but
they left no trail that could be fol.
lowed and Mr.. Rooster is unable TO
give any description.
DRAGGED INTO OWN HOUSE.
About o'clock last night Mr.. Koes-
ter unlocked his outer door a moment
and stepped out, on the porch. AS he
did so, he was suddenly sprang upon
by q man who grasped him by the
throat, preventing any outcry, and
forced back into his own house. Tell
me where the money is, or I'll kill
you," Kissed the robber. Mr.. Rooster
refused with a shake Of his head
whereupon the robber, aided by his
pal II he had one, began ransacking
the house, all the time keeping his
hand on the throat OF the aged man
and preventing the latter's making a
sound. Finally, Mr.. Rooster whisper

throat. When the thug did SO, the old
man gave vent TO a loud shrek which
was heard at a considerable distance.
A minute later the house was clear
Of thieves.
RUNS TO NEIGHBoRs.
Mr.. Rooster at once hurried out
of the house and to the home OF a
neighbor. Theodore Helms, where he
told his story. Members Of the Helms
family accompanied him back to his
home where a scene Of great disorder
met their gaze. The thief in his vain
search for money had thrown dishes
on the floor and otherwise ransacked
the room.
The wreckAge was cleared up and
quiet was restored. The matter was
not reported to the police because Mr..
Koester could give no description OF
his assailant and was unable to say
whether or not there was more than
one thug.
