BExAR MARRIED
F0LkQUI.TE..
PEACEFUL

Married life in Bexar County was
more pacific in 1925 than during the
preceding yeaF--nnd the statement is
made in the face Of a report recently
issued BY the Department Of Com
merce which Indicated that divorces
are on the increase hereabouts.
IeNmnst be the climate.
There were $50 less suits for divorce
filed in Bexar County in 1925 than
during 1922; according TO the file
dockets of the district courts. ...,.,. .
DIVORCES DECREASE #
In 1924 there were 1045 spits for
divorce filed. against, only 1T60 IN
1925. 1t is estimated that only about
40 divorces are granted out of every
100 suits filed. The others are either.
dismissed for want of prosecution or
divorces are denied. On the basis of
this estimate, the computation shows
that about 1892 divorces were granted
in 1923, as against 1obO IN l9Z4.
The Department of Commerce re
port which was recently received by
County Clerk Jack r. Burke showed
divorces on an increase in Bexar
County. 1t is pointed out that the
report Is by no means infallible, how
ever, because a large number of the
divorces that were granted in 1923
were filed in 1924. And the filing
records show an actual decrease.
330s CIVIL SUITS.
All civil suits filed in the district
courts this year totaled 1898, inclu-
sivc of the 1867 divorce suits. In.
1924 there were 1886 total suits filed,
including 1916 divorces. Thus it is
seen that the percentage of the whole
of the divorce suits was much larger
in 1924 than In 1925.

serving that two of the three women
who are members of the supreme
court jury, including the foreman,
were taking notes during the presen-
tation of evidence in a civil suit to-

Barnes suggested that the jury are

ing and sight.
Their final conclusion" he said,
sis not the conclusion of any one as
distinct from the others, but it is
the conclusion of each merged into
the conclusions of all. 1t is es-
tablished that the best results are
reached when memory furnishes the
data, except such as from their
grave Importance are reduced to
writing by counsel and handed to the

Suggest Death
Penalty for Attack
On United States Mail

Washington, Oct. 15-(P)-Armed
guards adequately equipped to defend
the mails form the depredations Of
gangs of armed bandits were decided
upon today by President Coolidge
and his cabinet as a result of the
Elizabeth. N. j.. mail robbery.
IF it takes the army and navy to
do it, the United States mails must
be protected and the lives of postal
employees safeguarded," declared
Postmaster General New in a state
ment after the meeting.
The postmaster-g general suggested
that concerns having large payrolls
should pay by check instead of in
currency and thus obviate the neces-
sity of banks making such tempting
shipments of money through the
mails, and said legislation to make
it capital offense to attack the
United States mails with arms would
be recommended to congress by the
postmaster general.
ANY man who does it has murder
Gus intent and the world is a good
deal better off without him." Mr..
New said. There is not another
country on the Globe where such
things are more prevalent today than
in our own. If it cannot be sup
pressed by one means it should by
another. Wholesale hangings might
go further than anything else. 1t
would curb their enthusiasm any
way"
Immediately after leaving the cab
met meeting the postmaster general
Called upon Director Lord of the
budget and served notice that the
postoffice department would have
additional money demands to make
upon the budget bureau for procure
ment of more armored mail trucks
and for armed guards and their
equipment.
Mr.. New addressed a letter to
President John W. Leary of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, asking that an appeal be
broadcast to the large industries of
the country to refrain from sending
huge shipments of currency through
the mails for payroll purposes and
pay by check. Mr.. New also called
attention to the custom of certain
banks, particularly the Federal Re-
serve, of sending money to manufac-
turing plants, asserting it furnished
the chief incentive for the armed
attacks.

Los Angeles Winging Way ]
On Return to Lakehurst;
Air Conditions Favorable
STOCKS DOWNWARD !.
With RUSH IN FACE
OF HEAVY SELLING

New York, Oct. 15.-(P)-Under a
deluge of selling orders which swept
over the market from all sides, stock
prices plunged downward today in
one of the most dramatic declines in
many months. Many leading railroads
and industrial shares were hammered
down four to IL points at the close
after extreme losses in some of the
high priced specialties had reached as
much as IS points. The days turn
over exceeded 100000 shares.
Coincident with the sharp reaction
in stocks, serious attention was given
in financial circles to the suggestion
of one of the best known business
profits that the present era of sus-
tanned industrial prosperity might
soon give way to a long. slow decline
in trade. At the same time the week
" business reviews sounded a dis
tinct note of caution, pointing out
that surface irregularities" was be-
coming more prominent and that
wholesale and retail buying was be-
ing retarded.
The reduction in the purchasing
power of the south, due to the low
prices prevailing for cotton, also was
emphasized as bearish influence. De-
spite prompt measures to meet the
emergency created by the record
breaking crop, the trade reviews re-
ported that effects of the cotton
slump were being felt, particularly In
the reduced buying of goods.
Although the wave of liquidation
which struck the market apparently
had its origin in a professional raid
it was soon given additional force by
a general scramble TO unload stocks
and by distress selling, stop loss Or
ders were quickly uncovered and
weakened margin accounts closed out
giving momentum to the decline.
Signs of competitive price cutting
in the motor industry opened the au-
tomobile shares for attack and theiI
abrupt breaks weakened the resist
ance of other shares. L. s. Steel and
General Motors were driven down
nearly five points each and Du Pont
and Cast Iron Pipe closed more than
II points lower. Hudson Motors, AL
lied Chemical, Baldwin Locomotive
Atlantic Refining. Pullman, Atlantic
Coast Line, Nickel Plate, Chesapeake
and Ohio. Atchison and New York
Central were among the many issues
to crumble 3 to points.
