100000 DIVORCES
SECURED IN 1912
10000 Children in United States Under
10 Years of Age Lost One or Both
Parents.

New York. Jan l0-More than 10.
600 children, mostly under the age OF
10 years, We're deprived of one or both
parents by divorce in this country DUR
ing the past year, according to figures
with which the Rev. Francis NJ. Moody
stirred members of the New York state
marriage and divorce commission at its
meeting yesterday.
"The Pacific coast" he said, "has been
the greatest divorce center of the entire
world. In the year 1912 alons there
were granted in the United States over
100000 divorces. In 40 years 100000
adults were separated by divorce, and
more than 100000 persons affected by
these cases. Illinois alone provided 100
600 divorces, California $4,000 and New
York 44,450. New York state. however.
sent 1880 of its couples into other
states to procure divorces, and there
were probably many migratory cases
that are not recorded in this total. At
present 80 per cent. of the cases go by
default, with only one party represented.
Mr.. Moody offered resolution to or
ganize federal commission in this state
to work for a uniform federal law gov
erning marriage and divorce, which
should be the central organization for all
state commission of this character.
which have already been formed in some
states. and which would meet in con
Tention in Chicago in May. The Rev. DIR.
Samuel McCune Lindsay was appointed
temporary chairman OF an organizing
committee.
