MARION COUNTY MARRIAGES DO NOT LAST WELL At Least, Survey Reveals Disparity Is Small in Divorce, Wedlock. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Marion county marriages don’t wear as well as these throughout the state, generally, it was disclosed today by a tabulation of statistics from the ninety-two counties made by Wendell Adamson, statistician in the legislative reference bureau at the statehouse. Marriages throughout the state increased 2.411 in 1929, as compared with the 1928 figure, and divorces increased only 407 the tabulation shows. But Marion county marriages increased only 782. while the divorce figure rose by 568. 43,271 Stale Total Marriage licenses issued in all counties during 1929 totaled 43,371, as compared to 40.960 in 1928. There were 8,144 divorces last year and 7,377 in 1928. Marion county marriages totaled 4.364 in 1929, as compared to 3,682 in 1923. The county divorce figure for 1929 was 1,705 and 1,137 in 1928. In the face of the statistics, Clark county would seem to be the best place by far to marry, if you want to make it stick. A total of 3,256 marriages were recorded at Jeffersonville. Clarke county seat, in 1929, and only eighty-eight divorces. Adamson explains this in part by the influx of Kentucky couple who cross the Ohio to wed. This contention is borne out by figures from Spencer county on the Ohio river. There w'ere 376 marriages there and only eighteen divorces. Lake Figures Promising Brown county had the fewest marriages, thirty-four, and Lake county the most, 6,600. Divorce in Lake county was far less than Marion, being only 678. This is accounted for in part by Illinois couples being married there and by the foreign population which hasn't accepted the American plan of easy divorce, It was said. In the state generally, 6,075 divorces were received by wives and 2,069 by husbands. Marion county wives obtained 1,259, and husbands only 446. Down in Brown county the men got one more divorce than the women. The score was four to three. Clark county also gave the husbands fifty-one divorces and the wives only fifteen. Larger county figures were Allen, 1.741 marriages and 418 divorces; Elkhart, 1.267 marriages and 159 divorces; Porter, 1,185 marriages, forty-two divorces; St. Joseph, 3,155 marriages. 420 divorces; Vanderburg, 1,046 marriages. 379 divorces, and Wayne, 770 marriages, 146 divorces. In Ohio county the women sought freedom in numbers, the statistics show'. There were thirty-seven marriages and thirty-six divorces, thirty-one of which were granted to wives.

ABANDONSAUTO, ELUDES BANDITS Collector Flees on Foot When Gas Gives Out. Leaping from his car when the gasoline was exhausted, Virgil C. Clark, 1910 winton avenue, collector for the Prudential Life Insurance Company, escaped on foot from two holdup men at West Tenth street and the High School road Tuesday night. Clark, driving toward the city, told police he was pursued by the two holdup men in another machine. They attempted to force his car to the roadside he said, and when he slowed down one of the bandits, brandishing a revolver, jumped from the bandit car. dark stepped on the accelerator and gained a lead while the second bandit waited for his companion to get into the car again. The chase led to the Eagle cree?bridge on West Tenth street, where Clark’s car stopped when the gas was exhausted. Clark jumped from the machine and fled on foot to a nearby farmhouse, where he called the sheriff’s office. Search failed to reveal the bandits. Clark carried more than $250 in collections, he told deputy sheriffs. Play Supervisors Chosen Bu Timm Snccial ANDERSON, Ind., June 18.—Mrs. R. V. Smith, teacher, has been employed as assistant to E.

FIND ONE BODY IN LAKE SEARCH FOR 8 MISSING Pilot of Speedboat Taking Elks to Picnic Taken From Water, Dead. Bit United Brest TOLEDO, June 18.—Lake Erie today had given up the body of one of the eight men lost on her waters Saturday night, but continued to hold the secret of the mysterious mishap which emptied their speedboat and set it drifting about off West Sister island. The body recovered was that of John Lipsgach, pilot of the boat. Coast guard cutter CG-173, one of the scores of boats searching the shores and islands of eastern Lake Erie, picked Lipsgach’s body out of the water late Tuesday. , The speedboat put out from Toledo harbor Saturday, bound for an Elks picnic.on Pelee island off the Canadian coast. It carried Lipsgach and seven prominent Toledo men, including Charles S. Nauts, internal revenue collector of this district; The other six were Herbert Nauts, his son; Franklin B. Jones, Toledo politician; Henry Hainbuch, assistant county sanitary engineer; Frank Miller, former city water commissioner; Arthur E. Kruse, president of an undertaking firm, and John Meyers, owner of the fleet to which the speedboat belonged. Sunday the empty lifeboat was found drifting among the islands. Lipsgach’s body, when found Tuesday, wore a life preserver. Coast guardsmen led a raid Tuesday into the short swamps near the village of Bono, 0., on the theory that rum running lake “pirates” may have kidnaped Nauts and his party. But only hermit fishermen were found in the swamps.
