SAYS DIVORCE ROBS 10000
New York Minister Provides Startling
Figures for 1912 and Demands
Uniform Law.

New York.-More than 10000 chill

parents by divorce in this country
during the last year, according to fig

The Pacific coast" he said, has
been the greatest divorce center of
the entire world. In the year 1912
alone there were granted in the Unit
ed States more than 100000 divorces.
In forty years 100000 adults were
separated by divorce, and more than
100000 persons affected by these
cases.
Illinois alone provided 10000 d.
vorces; Pennsylvania, $3.50; Cali
fornia, 10000 and New York, 44,450.
New York state, however, sent 1859

cure divorces, and there were prob

Mr.. Moody offered a resolution to or

state to work for a uniform federal

formed In some states, and which
would meet in convention in Chicago
