UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAWS.
Chairman Ray Talks OF Them and
the Suppression of Polygamy.

Washington, Dec lO.-In view Of the
movement for the suppression Of
polygamy and for uniform marriage
and divorce laws, Chairman Ray OF the
House committee on the judiciary
having charge Of this legislation, has
written a letter TO those interested in
the movement, In which he says
For many years / have feared an
amendment TO the Constitution author
rang Congress 20 enact uniform laws
Regulating marriage and divorce which
would cover polygamy. An amendment
to the Constitution merely prohibiting
pOlygamy would amount to but little.
An amendment allowing Congress 10
pass laws furnishing polygamy would
apply to those localities where polyga
my is practlced; that Is, It would ena-
bic Congress to pass laws prohibiting
and Furnishing polygamy I'm Utah and
one or two other localities where 1t is
pr9cticed and allow prosecutions In
the United States courts. Every State
has fun power to prohibit and punish
p0lygamy and every State has anti
polygamy laws Utah has such a law,
The main trouble is in the enforce
ment Of it."
