MANY LEFT ORPHANS
Judge Declares Chicago Is Worst
City for Divorce Frauds.
Asserts Decrees Now Granted Would
Not Be Asked if Proper Restric
tions Were Placed About Mar
riage and Divorce.
Chicago.-"Chicago is the worst city
n the world for fraud and collusion in
obtaining divorces. In a single year
our lax divorce laws result in the
wrecking of 3,000 homes and .n the
orphaning of 4,000 children in Cook
county alone. Fifty per cent. of the
divorces now granted would not even
be asked for if proper restrictions
were placed, about marriage and di
vorce."
These statements, made by Judge
Marcus Kavanagh, speakii ; from ex
prience gained in personal hearing
of 1.000 divorce cases, made a pro
ound impression upon the other mem
bers of the Illinois commission on
mnarriage and divorce. The commis
sion was considering ,three tentative
bills. one of which it is proposed to
select and offer to the legislature for
he purpose of ameliorating the evil.
Prof. Ernst Freund of the University
of Chicago urged the commission to
adopt a bill on the general lines of the
one drawn by the conference on uni
form laws.
The discussion was not one-sided.
Senator Juul was not sure that there
was anything wrong with the present
laws.
"No one has pointed out the fault
_pecifically." he said. "I want to know
what the real trouble is. Of course.
I will support any truly progressive
bill. But I do not see how the state
will benefit by making two persons
live together whose married life has
been t failure. The chancellor. I
should think, ought to be-able to look
into an unhappy marriage relation and
say: "This is hell on earth, and I will
sever these bonds'"
The measures proposed by Profes
sor Freund provide: Marriages of per
sons coming into or going out of the
state to evade Illinois statutes shall
be void; affidavits shall give full In
formation regarding the parties. and
fifteen days shall elapse between ap
plication for a license and its issu
ance: the state's attorney's office shall
be a party to divorce proceedings.
Senator Jiul objeefed to the fifteen
day clause, saying it would "enable
busy-bodies to thrust their noses into
affairs in which they have no busi
ness."
But, nearly all of the comment was
in favor of more stringent laws.

BELMCVT'S BRIDE IS LOST
Former Ethel Lorraine Vanishes After
Completing Demand for Heavy
Alimony.
New York.-The romance of Ethel
Lorraine and Raymond Belmont. who
eloped and were married in Jersey
City last November, is about to end
after various interruptions by the
bridegroor 'a angry father. August
Belmont.
It was learned that the papers in a
separation action brought by Mrs.
Belmont against her husband will be
Illed during the week.
The former actiess is suing on the
grounds of desertion and non-support.
The plea will include a 4emand for
large alimony. After their marriage
the young couple lived in the Gosford
apartments for two weeks, and then
the husband suddenly disappeared.
Efforts extending over several days
to serve Raymond Belmont with a
summons in the case have failed and
it was learned that he was having a
vacation in South Carolina. Applica
tion will be made in the supreme
court next week for permission to
serve him by publication.
Mrs. Belmont. who continued her
residence in the Gosford apartments
under the name of Ethel Lorraine. left
that address recently without giving
any indication of her new address.
Her lawyers say they are aware of
her present address, but decline to
give it out at her request.
Albert Linder. father of Mrs. Bel
mont. reiterated his offer to provide
a home for the pair in case they
.hould come together.
"As far is I can see it." he said.
"It is only the young man's father
who stands between them. and if he
could be brought around to agree to
their happiness I would do everything
that I could for thet.. They are quite
welcome at any ,time to take up their
abode at my home."
The romance between the two com
menced thrce years ago and resulted
in their elopement to Jersey City. The
young man's father had been stead
fastly opposed, to the marriage. and
when it was announced it was said
that he insisted upon Raymond imme
diately giving up his wife.

crawled beneath. Apparently no et
fort was made to drive thena back in
the early hours, with the result that
when the parade started it faced at
almost every hundred yards a solid
wall of humanity.
On the whole it was a hostile crowd
through which the women miarched.
Miss Inez Milholland, herald, distin
guished herself by aiding in riding
down a mob that blocked the way and
threatened to risrupt the parade.
Another woman member of the "petti
coat cavalry" struck a hoodluh a
stinging blow across the face with
her riding crop in reply to a scurril
ous remark as she was passing. The
mounted police seemed powerless to
stem the tide of humanity.
A group of hoodlums gathered in
front of the reviewing stand in which
sat Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft
and a half dozen invited guests from
the While House. They kept up a
running fire of caustic comment. Ap
parently no effort was made to re
move them and, evidently disgusted,
the White House party left before the
procession had passed in its halting
and interrupted journey toward Conti
nental Hall.
The tableaux on the steps of the
treasury building were begun when
the parade started from its rendezvous
at the base of the capitol. Beautiful
in coloring and grouping, the dra
matic symbolization of women's as
pirations for political freedom was
completed long.before the head of the
parade was in sight.
In their thin dresses and bare arms
they stood shivering for more than an
hour and finally they were forced to
seek refuge within the building.
Around the treasury department the
crowds were massed so tighitly that
repeated charges by the police were
seemingly ineffective. Occasionally
the mob gave way in one place, only,
to break over and under the wire
hedge at some other.

King Frledrich August

of lively Archduke
Othon. She is the am
bitious mother of young Karl Franz
Joseph. second heir to the throne.
So she is a very important person:
and she is uncommonly successful at
soothing Kaiser Francis Joseph.
But the tale is that when Arch
duchess Maria Josefa last was sum
moned to Schoenbrtunn to soothe
Francis Joseph she needed soothing
herself. Francis Joseph was in a ter
rible rage because the Turks were
beaten, and that meant complications.
and Maria .Tosefa was in a terrible
rage because of troubles with her
pictures. And neither soothed the
other.

She began by patronizing other
