BIG DIVORCE RISE IS ATTRIBUTED TO UNREST OF TIMES

' Fast living, general unrest and disentent and high living costs are the principal reasonij attributed by Prosecuting Attorney Gath Freeman for an lncreas of thirty-three and one-third per cent In the number of divorce complaints filed in Wayne circuit court the first six months of this year as compared with the number of divorce actions filed for the same period last year. From January 1. 1920, to June 30. there were 98 divorce complaints filed la the circuit court. For the same period in 1919 there were 66 divorce complaints filed. A slight Increase is shown in the number of marriage licenses issued the first six months of this year as compared to the first half of last year. People are making more money now than ever before. Prosecutor Freeman ; explains, and this has frequently recited in reckless living and the comtmitting of acts which have estranged formerly happily mated couples. Easy Money Is Cause "Easy money" appears to have had m more demoralizing effect upon husbands than upon wives, for the court records show that the big majority of divorce complaints filed since January 1 have been instituted by women. The spirit of unrest and discontent Stas spread Into' the home as well as to Industry, in the opinion of Mr. Freeman. The wreckage of broken home life Is strewn In the wake of this restless spirit. Husbands and wives smitten with this national malady have lost their Affection for each other and the tide of divorce actions has grown heavier Snonth by month. In the case of many victims of this malady their domestic troubles have

(been aggravated with present excesMlve living costs. They have found unftrue the old adage that "two can live cheaper than one", and have been seized with the desire to free themnelves of all the responslblities that matrimony imposes. It had been predicted that the advent lof prohibition would mean a considerable redaction in the number of divorce complaints, but since the nation climbed the water wagon there !has been a considerable increase in divorce suits, in Wayne county, at least. More Temperance, More Trouble. This is explained by Prosecutor Freeman. Men and women are more temperate, generally speaking, than before the establishment of prohibition, and the number of divorce cases filed since January 1, which attribute Intemperance as the cause of domestic woes have been reduced to a minimum. Mr. Freeman holds that the divorce evil Is thriving now on the abnormal conditions of the time, which are in no way attributable to prohibition. "It is not difficult, to secure a divorce In Indiana," Mr. Freeman remarked. "Under our laws there are seven causes for divorce. In many Btates the only cause for absolute divorce Is adultery. I am not convinced in my own mind whether it would he best to make it more difficult to obtain a cMvorce in this state. That is a debatable question." Mary M. Hulick First Woman In the West Ohio Conference Granted License to Prench OXFORD. O.. July 3 The only celebration of the Fourth of July that will be made here Monday will be by the summer students of Miami University. These young folks, back by several professors, will hold a meeting in the auditorium at 10 o'clock, at which addresses will bp made and patriotic songs will be E"ip;. In the afternoon there will be a few games, and in the evening the students, organized by counties, will give a series of gtunts on the campus. License Woman Minister Miss Mary Margaret Hulick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Hulick, was licensed last evening by the quarterly conference of the Methodist Episcopal church to preach the goppl. This is the first ca6e of licensing of a woman In the West Ohio conference. Authority was given for such licensing by the general conference at its meeting la6t month in Pes Moines. la. Miss Hulick is a graduate of Miami university, class r.f 101.1, and has Blnce been a student in D"-nv Theological seminary. Mad son, N. J. City May Get Water Franchise Engineer R. E. Harrison, of Toledo, was asked yeBterday by a member of council: "Where do you suppose wer going to get $75,000 to spend in moving the plant one mile on Four Mile Creek?" "Give me a twenty-five year franchise," answered Mr. Harrison, "and I'll raise the money within thirty days I will furnish the water consumers of Oxford better water than they ever had before, more of it, and for less money than they have been paying." It is probable that a proposition of this kind will bo formally made to council. Surprise Friends by Marriage Elzie Sayres, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sayre6, living near town, and Miss Alma Terman, of Cincinnati, an attendant at the Oxford Retreat, were married yesterday afternoon by Rev.

Charles E. Turley at the Methodist

who was arrested last week on a

charge of arson, waived examination before a justice of the peace in a preliminary hearing here and was bound over to the circuit court. His bond was fixed at $5,000 and was supplied by Millard Reyman, his brother, of the Farmers' State Bank. Reyman was first arrested at the state fire marshal's office at Indianapolis and after his return here was

arrested on a second count, following

ihe confession of three men, who said they had been hired by him to burn houses, barns, factory buildings and

storerooms in which he carried insur

ance. The preliminary hearing on this charge will be held July 9. Reyman is steadfast in his denial of the charges brought against him, and pays that enemies have brought them at a time when the Indiana supreme court is to pass on a decision of the lower court, in which he won a suit 'for $10,000 against an insurance com nany.

THEIR WORK IN AMATEUR THEATRICALS HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION IN CAPITA

MEXICAN POLITICIANS PLEAD FOR. PEASANTS (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, July 3. Twelve million Indians, who have slaved for five cents a day for five years at a time to support 3,000,000 idlers, cry out for help to the newly formed National Agrarian party, according to Crisoforo Ibanez, who made the keynote speech at the party's organization meeting here, according to El Heraldo de Mexico. "Since childhood I have lived the life of the peasants," eaid Ibanez. "I know how much the toilers of the

field have suffered, how much they

need and how much they merit In

the beginning of our history as a people the Indians were reduced to worse than nothing by the Spanish agents.

who, to enslave them, inculcated in

them fanaticism for the Virgin of Guadalupe, so as to be able to do any

thing they pleasod with them later by invoking this name; and the Indian was reduced to slavery. "For this reason the Indian hates the white man. This is because for a long time there have been in Mexico 12,000,000 Indians who have supported 3,000,000 idlers and not a few Europeans who also live off of them." Bitter attacks on President Carransa and some of his followers featured the address of the newly elected president, Antonio Diaz Sotoy Gama. Sotoy Gama pledged the party's support to the presidential candidacy of General Alvaro Obregon because of his "radicalism" and because he "Is feared by the reactionaries."

Only the right of holding quiet public meetings was permitted to be exercised. "This permission was useless by itself without being accompanied by the others consecrating the same precept of the fundamental law. "The censorship continually exer-

WU1 Exorbitant Prices

(By Associated Press) BERLIN, July 2. As a result of tho Steady rise of the German mark, for

eigners are discovering that for them Germany is now perhaps the dearest

country in Europe. For several months German hotel3

eries in Berlin are charging 60 cents, American, for an ordinary white col

lar.

Americans and other foreigners out

of Germany.
