UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW.
Maine Commissioners Make Third BIZ
ennial Report.


Augusta, Me, Dec 2S.-Charles f.
Libby of Portland, Frank NJ. Higgins CT
Limrick and Hannibal E. Hamlin OF
Ellsworth, commissioners for the state
of Maine for the promotion of uniform
ity of legislation in the United States
have made their third biennial report
Conferences have been devoted mainly
to perfecting a bill relating to proce-
due in divorce cases. This bill attempts
to furnish a remedy for some of the al
legged evils that have attended divorce
procedure in the different states and es-
pecially by preventing a change of resi-
dence made in order to procure a di-
vorce. The bill also attempts to intro
duce uniformity as to length of resi-
dence required in the various states on
the part of persons applying for divorce.
Personal service is also required wher-
ever feasible and in case the residence
of the absent party is alleged to be ur-
known, proof is required of reasonable
inquiry and search to ascertain the resi-
dence, continued for one year. The bill
requires all hearings to be before d
court in open session. In cases where no
defendant has appeared and notice is
given by publication only a decree is 10
be entered which is not to become final
until after an interval of six months
thereby giving an opportunity to the alb
sent party to show cause why a divorce
absolute should not be granted
A bill which accompanied the report
will be referred to the committee on ju-
dietary at the coming session of the leg
iSlature.

sTANDARDIzING BUREAU.
It Is Advocated Before Senate Com
mittee on Commerce.

mittee on Commerce.
Washington. Dec. 2S.-Senators Nelson
and Turner sitting as a subcommittee
of the committee of commerce today
heard arguments in support ofthe meas
ure now pending in the senate providing
for the establishment of a national
standard bureau. Among those heard
were Secretary Gage, Prof O. II. Tit
man, superintendent of the coast and
geodetic survey, and also of the present
bureau of weights and measures Prof.
w S. Stratton, inspector of weights and
measures under the present organ1za-
ton and also professor of physics in the
Chicago university, and Prof. H. A.
Rowland professor of physics of Johns
Hopkins university. They explained the
object of the bill and urged the growing
Importance of a complete standardizing
bureau under government direction
Secretary Gage represented that such
an institution is becoming more and
more important as the years go by. His
opinion of the proposed bureau as well
as that of the other witnesses is sum-
married. in a memorandum printed Tor
the use of the committee from which the
following is an extract:
Until recent years this work has been
confined to problems concerned with the
standards of length, mass, capacity and
temperature but the increased order of
accuracy demanded in scientific and
commercial measurements and the e1-
ceedfngly rapid progress Of pure and ap-
piled have increased the scope OF Sucn
work until it includes many important
branches of physical and chemical re-
search, requiring for its successful per
Torrance a complete laboratory, fitted
for undertaking the most refined meas
urementS known to modern science. the
introduction of accurate scientific meth
DDS into manufacturing and commercial
processes involves the use of a great
variety of standards of far greater ac
curacy than formerly required An ac-
eurate knowledge of the high tempera-
ture of a furnace or refinery, or the low
temperature of a refrfgerating process,
is often essential to the economical
working of the process
Enormous commercial transactions
are daily based upon the reading of cleo
of which are involved great injustfceS
and financial losses, hence the national
bureau should be in a position to test
electrical standards q all kinds for COM
mercial as well as the most refined
scientific work"
Prof Tittnan made an argument for
the establishment of the bureau upon
constitutional grounds, calling atten-
ton to the fact that the constitution
empowers congress to fix the standard
of weights and measures. He contended
that fixed standards lie at the founda-
tion of good government and called at
many and Great Britain in the direction
proposed by the pending bill for this
country.
The bill contemplates the erection of
a building in Washington for the use
of the bureau and for the selection of
complete staff to take charge of the
work.

HEROIC ACT OF A TRAMP.
Saves a Man and Little Girl From
Drowning.

Jefferson, Wis. Dec. 2S.-By the heroic
act of tramp two residents of Jefferson
were saved from drowning in Rock
river. Frank Williamson and his little
daughter were crossing the river when
the ice suddenly gave way A tramp
who was walking on the railroad track
a few hundred feet from where the acct
dent took place, pulled off his coat and
plunged into the water after the strug-
Cling pair, who were fast losing con-
seriousness.
The heroic tramp was clad in overalls
and a thin shirt when he made the
plunge. He succeeded in holding the
man and girl above water until boats
were brought John Buchta, who was
close to the scene at the time also work
ed theoretically, and was drawn into the
water by the struggling trio. After hard
work on the part of the rescuers all
were saved. A subscription was taken
up for the tramp, and a complete out
