One Out of Nine
Weddings Ends
I'm a Divorce
Census Statistics Just Com
piled Show New York
at Foot of the List-Has
Only 81 Per 100000

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Accord-
ing to divorce statistics compiled by
,be Bureau of the Census and made
,nb,ic to- day, New York State figures
ss one. of the lowest of the states in
III, country for divorces granted in
1915
Figures for that year, now complete,
nresent the astonishing fact that ap-
proximately one out of every nine
marriages in the United States termi-
Mates in the divorce court. The 1916
official records show that the District
If Columbia, North Carolina and New
York hold the low records, the rates
heing 10, 81 and SO per 100000 of pop
ulation, respectively. Nevada. whose
Reno is the Mecca of divorce seekers
from all parts OF the country, Montana
and Oregon head the list, with GOT,
S23 and 225, respectively.
Causes Vary in States
Notwithstanding efforts from time
10 time to enact uniform Federal
divorce law, which it was believed
would make the dissolution of mar
riage ties more difficult, each state con-
tinues to administer it's own divorce
law, with the result that different
causes for divorce exist in different
states
In New York, for instance, the one
statutory ground for divorce is in
fidelity, while in some other states
DEGREES may be obtained for desertion,
cruelty, non-support and that more or
less indefinite ground, incompatibility.
All of these grounds figure in the
records OF the Bureau of the Census.
Desertion is shown to have been re-
sponsible for about 3S per cent of the
divorces in 1916.
For the same year the marriage rate
was 1850 in each 100000, or nine times
as great as the divorce rate of 112 in
each 100000. The marriage rate for
1906 was l,020 in each 100000.
Big Increase Since 1867
In 1914 Senator Ransdell, of Louisi-
ana, proposed an amendment to the
Federal Constitution providing that alb
solute divorce with a right to remarry
should not be permitted in the United
, States. He pointed out that in 1857
the divorce rate in the United States
was 81 in each 100000, and in 1906 it
was Sc in each 100, 900.
County Clerk William F. Schneider
said las. night: 81 have no figures at
hand but l know that the records Of
my Office for 1918 show fewer divorce
suits in Manhattan than we're brought
in 1917. Of course that means there
were fewer decrees."

Rhode Island House
Orders "Dry'' Lac Test

Special Correspondence
PROVIDENCE, r. L., March 20.
BY a viva voce vote this
afternoon the Rhode Island House
passed resolution directing the
Attorney General Of the state to
take steps to obtain from the
United States Supreme Court an
immediate decision on the con-
stitutionality of the Federal pro-
hibition amendment. The reso-
luton now goes to the Senate,
where it's passage is believed as
sured.
The vote came after lengthy
debate, during which strong op-
position developed to spending
the states money for what was
termed 'the brewers" fight.
There was also opposition to
statements made in the preamble
of the resolution.
During the debate various rep
resentatives declared that the
state by taking such action was
putting itself in a most ridicu-
lous position.

CAR SPLITS SWITCH
 AID CENTRAL PARK
Unbound PIainyille Car Nearly Over turned by Defective Switch
 Slight Damages.

A defective switch near the green today caused an inbound car to Split switch" and while one of the trucks of the car rounded the corner the oth- CT remained on the straight track and headed south, causing the trolley to be nearly overturned and resulting. in the breaking of one of the springs and damaging several other minor parts of the car.
 The car was being lowed into the car barn from the White Oak barns for repairs by one of the work trol- leys in charge of Motorman John Ma loney. Both motors and the air brake appliances had been moved from the trolley and 1t was coupled with the work car. Soon after Motorman Ma loney rounded the corner he heard the grating of the two trucks both pull ing in a, different direction, and jam med on his brakes in time to prevent the car from overturning or leaving the track.
 The splitting occurred at the same spot at which an inbound passenger car split last year, causing injuries to several people, and nearly costing the life of Benjamin Ives of Plainville At that time the rubber had been remor- ed from the switch, allowing the rail to slide easily.

 ''The whole conduct of the strike in Pennsylvania shows," MT. Gom- pers asserted that whatever helps the corporations against the work kers will have the support of Pennsylvania authorities. The corporation declares it proposes to run under the mis- nomer-the so-called open shop but with all their power they have tried to keep a closed shop-closed against the union, closed against union men.

 That was four or five years ago. He was Jefferson Davis Pierce of Worcester, Mass.
 Gompers told of the final decision of the American Federation of Labor 1918 to organize the men and de- scribed the methods used to finance the work.
 Men Willing to Join.
 You have dealt with the policy of the steel companies trying to exclude union men," Senator Phipps, repub- lican, Colorado said.
 "Is the jolicy of the unions to try to exclude non-union men?"
 Tt is the policy of the unions to try and organize all workers," Gom-. pers said adding that in all his ex- perience he had never known workmen voluntarily refusing to join a union of his craft.

 Discussing profits in the steel in dustry, MT. Gompers cited a statement by Director General Hines, of the Railroad administration, which showed that in 1918 the Steel corpor- ation made 22 per cent. on it's com mon stock.

 By the efforts of the War Labor Board," Gompers said, conditions were finally produced which induced the corporation to order the eight hour day. But I understand it is still an order and not an actuality.''
