tost that instrument was too mercur

seemed to understand its changes suf

and mine were another example of the
difference between educated and un-

toe census bureau, together with
legitimate deductions from them, will
demonstrate conclusively the neo<e-
slty cf uniform divoroe lews, and be
expects to use the figures to bring
abjut such a result.
Tbe question has been considered
by the President with the ablest law-
yen^f tbe Senate and House of Be
prasentatlves. They have concluded
practically that, at present, tbe Oon-
press lacks tha constitintonsl power
to enact a divorce law wh?c would be

from toe people, torotfgH the Telriail-
tuns, approval of a ooustituttonal

authority to regulate by law the
general mattei of marriage and

The statistics to be collected and
compiled by toe oeosus bureau will
oovat tba twenty-year period from
lfifi7 to 1006, Inclusive. A similar 1l-
vMtlgatlon was made in 1886, cover-
ng a twenty-yaar period, and toe
figures of the two periods an expeoted
to prove valuable for comparison. Id
tbe period of twenty yean Just pre
ceding 1886, 484 683 applications for
divorce were made to toe courts and
328,716 of tbam subsequently were
granted. Figures already In the
rands of Director North, of the ran
sra bureau, warrant the statement
that, in the past twenty years, tbC
applications for divoroe aggiegated
nearly a million and a half while toe
divoroe actually granted numbered
more than a million. Of course,
even tola alarming total does not in-
olnde all cases of toe infelicity of mar
riage, but only those which reached
tbe courts In spite of tbe sppraLen
slon of the parlies of public sosudsi.
Tbe Inouiry wilTbe eondnetod along

Ustfi He Told Her at a Dinner

There has perhaps never been a life
with greater contrast on two sfdes
and perhaps pone more in seme
respects, than toe lives of William
Ellis Oorey. president of the United
States Steel Corporation, and hls wife,
Or former wife, which culminated at
Reno, Nevada, on Monday, July 29,
when Mrs. Oorey wm granted an
absolute divorce from the millionaire
husband, who had tired of her, ano
given the custody of her minor son.
Mrs. Oorey Is a woman not only of
attraotlve appearance, but modest of
manner and soma what magnetic.
During tba trial of ber case, which
in no wise contested by Oorey,
and absolutely deroid of any effort at
deferae, she wm sad. When the fact
wm announced that she had gained
what she asked—freedom from the
man who wanted to be free of her—
she cried. She stated tost she had
been married to Oorey, a man then of
far lose t ffl lence than now, in Pitts
burg, on December 1, 1883, and tbay
lived .happily.nearly 20 years. Hit
indifference, with accumulation of
wealth, developed and he finally de
serted bar. After Mveral weeks of
inattention and then desertion,
Oorey took' ber to dinner, m he wonld
have taken any other woman ac
quaintance end calmly told ber she
would have to go; that be wu tired
of her and would not live with ber
longer. He wu emphatic; bis mind
wu made up and be wu not to be
shaken. She presents a different
picture.
After suffericg hls Inattention and
desertion, peeing him tha first time
for weeks at toe dinner table In a
restaurant, she begged him to go
home with ber and “talk It over."
Indifferently he railed hie hat u he
put her in a oab and, turning, left
her forever. That incident, accord
ing to Mrs. Oorcy's testimony, wu on
May 5. 1906, and slnoe that time she
hu never seen him. Corey’s manner
of disposing of her wu dlaorased with
hls attorneys, and the statement wu
made at the trial that than would be
no question of alimony, rinra that
had been arranged between Mrs.
Coray and bis attorney.
'Yon don’t know what yon an say*
'■v r .
m became hart.
"Tee I do, I have fully madc ap
my mind, and nothing ran change It.
I will not live with you any longer
and 1 want you to get a divorce. I
will give you everything to enable
you to live luxuriously—everything
yon need to be comfortable." .
Mrs. Cony could contain herself no
longer, and, showing agitation, said.
“We will discuss tbe matter when
we gat home, Will. Come.”
Oorey bad a oab sum mooed and
left toe restaurant together. He
went to toe curbing with ber, assist
ed her to toe oab, but did not get in.
Is politely lifted hls hat, half smil
ing, and aaid:
This li our good-bye. And re
member, I will not be responsible for
yonr debts until yon are wlUing to
make this separation final by a divoroe
decree. Gx)d-bye.”
And, without waiting to bear more
from ber, he tamed and walked
away. There is no evidence to that
effect, but Mrs. Corey’s money supply
wu out eff and In this way she wu
practically forced into submission.
After she filed lutt for divoroe ber
husband paid her bills.
