UNIFORM LAWS.
Bill to Secure Adoption in
Several States.
Hearing on It by House Ju-
dietary Committee.
Creates Commission to Act With
Those of Other States.

The State of Rhode Island has had its
attention drawn to the desirability OF CO.
operating With other states in the enact
ment OF certain laws,tre nature OF which
is more than strictly local.
There are 27 different states engaged In
the movement and the passage OF bill
now in the House of Representatives will
place Rhode Island on the list.
The bill provides for the appointment
by the Governor of board of commits
sionsrs for the promotion Of the "unir
formity OF Legislation in the United
States" The board shall consist of three
mem bers appointed for one, two and three
yeSrs respectively and cne shall be ap-
pointed annually.
1t shall be the duty of the commission
ers to examine the subjects OF marriage
and divorce, insolvency, the form OF
notarisl certificates. the descent and dis
tribution of property, the acknowledge
ment of deeds, the execution and pro-
bate Of wills and other subjects upon
which uniformity Is desirable; to confer
upon these matters with the commission
trs apr ointed for the same purpose by
any other States, to consider and draft
bills 10 be submitted for approval and
abortion to the several States, TO con-
slider whether il would be wise and prac-
tica bic for this State to join with any
other State or States of the Union IN ex-
tending an invitation to other states TO
sena representatives to a convention to
draft uniform laws to be submitted for
adoption by the several States, and gen.
orally to oevise and recommend such
other or further course OF action as shall
best accomplish the purpose OF the act.
The mem bers OF the Board are to serve
without pay, but their travelling expenses
shall be allowed by the State.
Mr.. Amasa NJ. Eaton is the father CT
the movement so far as this State is con-
cernsd, and he appeared this forenoon
before the judiciary committee Lf the
House and strongly advocated the pas
sage OF the bill. 1t Is generally desired by
the lawyers OF the State and those VINO
have signed Mr.. Eaton's petition are
James IiliiDghast, Amasa M. Eaton, Da-
rius Baker, Joseph &. Ely, Enwin ID.
McGuinnesa, Wilmarth h.. Thurston,
Stephen O. Edwards, Charles A. Wilson,
Thomas A. Jencks, Edward h. Glezen,
BENJAMIN N. Lapham, lsaac ii. South
wick, Jr., Walter Il. Angel and James NJ.
Ripley.
Five conferences have been held Of the
commissioners already appointed by sew
eral of the states, and the ultimate results
OF their annual deliberations nave been
the adoption in many of the states of
uniform laws.
The object of the movement Is to at
tain greater facility and smoothness in
interstate relations, especially OF COM
mercial nature, and to have a uniform
system of marriage and divorce laws
throughout the country.
1t Is very naturally claimed that busi-
ness will be carried on TO better aovar-
tage il weights and measures are not in

fore Congress during his term OF service
in that body, and one OF this class has

matter but simply to give the record.

The recklessness OF poys when on and

do SO until that milimum arrives when
old heads shall be put on young should

tices and one fraught with great danger,
is that of throwing companion who can
not swim into tho water. OF course the
swimmers in the party expect, after they
have enjoyed his terror and his frantic
struggles TO keep afioat, to pull him out
all right. sometimes they succeed and
sometimes they do not. In the latter case
a life is sacrificed to the folly, reckless
ness and brutality OF youth for none but
