FOX OPPOSES TRIAL SYSTEM FOR DIVORCES

Judge Henry C. Fox, who Is serving "his twentieth year as judge of the Wayne circuit court, and who has ruled on more divorce cases than any other judge in the state, is bitterly opposed to the bill which will be presented to the next legislature by Judge Moll of the Marlon superior court, Indianapolis, forbidding the filing of divorce suits within a year after final separation. "If I were In the legislature, I would vote against it," said the judge. "There is absolutely no need for such a law. "A judge who is elected to preside on a court bench is supposed to be capable of telling from evidence produced whether or not a divorce should be granted. There is no need that a couple should be separated a year before they could apply for a divorce, and it would be wrong to make Euch a necessity." Would Bring Reconciliation. - The theory on which the proposed bill is based of course is that if no suit is filed for a year, possibly the people would go back together and Judge Moll hopes in this way to cut down the alarming Increase in the number of divorces granted annually In Indiana. Judge Fox fears that such a law would cause much trouble which would possibly lead to other court action. 'Every judge should be allowed the privilege of treating such matters as he best sees fit," he said today. Judge Fox never grants a divorce until a complaint has been on file sixty days or more. To date during 1916, ninety-six divorces have been granted in the Wayne circuit court and one-hundred and forty-five complaints for divorces ' have been filed. The large percentage of these have concerned people in Richmond or In the small towns. Judge Fox recalled today that he had not been asked this year to grant divorces to a single couple that had lived in the country all the time since their marriage. Divorces Make Increase. During the past six years the number of divorces granted annually in Wayne county has increased materially. During 1910, sixty-three divorces were granted; J911, sixty, nine; 1912, seventy-seven and one-hundred and eleven complaints were. filed; 1913, one-hundred, and one-hundred and forty-seven complaints were filed; 1914, ninety, and one-hundred and seventeen cases were filed; 1915, seventyone and one-hundred and seventeen complaints were filed.
