CAUSES COMM EMIT.
Interest In Episcopal Church on Dl.
vorce Clause.

The report of the joint committee Of
the Protestant Episcopal church is the
subject of considerable comment in
Episcopal circles. That portion Of the
report eliminating the innocent par.
ty clause wherein divorces are con.
cerned, and the table of marriages be-
tween prescribed relationships, were
particularly interesting to members Of
the Episcopal church and those inter-
ested in canon law.
The report will have to run long
gauntlet of discussion beforeit can be.
come law. 1t will be laid before the
triennial general convention of the
Episcopal church in San Francisco In
October. Should the house of depu
ties, composed of clergy and laity,yiew
it with favor and adopt it, it then will
go to the house of Bishops. After be

considered by the two houses in joint

will be sent to the diocesan, conven

PARTY COLLAPSES
What II. S. Pingree's Death Means
to His Followers.
WAS CHOSEN TO HEAD A NEW PARTY
Threatenedto Be Big Thing in the
Next EIeetion-A Trip to the Cele-
brated Black Forest Caused His
Death.

New York, June 24.-The close OF
Hazen S. Pingree's life is almost as
sensational as was his political career.
He was the part of new and impor-
tant political movement in Michigan
which was intended to crush the or
ganization Of the old-time republicans.
He had been chosen by the united
opposition, to this movement as the
principal personage-its head and
| front. With his death it all collapses.
The expensive and extensive program
for his triumphant reception has been
turned into mourning committee, IN
which those who were opposed to him
take part as well as do his supporters.
| The men who were here arranging
for tugs to go down into the harbor TO
meet him, a band for public ceremon.
les, speakers for banquets and special
trains for the whole people are now
sadly arranging funeral ceremonies.
1t is a singular showing OF the pow
er of one man. Without him, his sup
porters can do nothing. He represent
ed no definite principle for which they
could or did stand. He was only
person with a following. With hls
death the person and the following dis
appear SO far as politics are concern
co.
To understand Pingree's politics,
is essential to remember that ne wa
a successful seller of shoes. He wa
a great travelling salesman. Ii he go
after mn he could almost make hill
wear shoes on his head. He was
sharp trader. He went into polite
!, on a reform wave. Being electe
mayor of Detroit, that was a simpl
matter for him. The people wante
, that sort of poHtics-"the extremel
: good kind"-and he and his friend
were selling it 10 them for water.
: Later on, in looking over the me-
| field, he decided that real reformel
l were few. There are more baker

which meets in 1904 for final confirma-
ton.
Reject Commissions recommendation
A joint commission appointed six
years ago for the amendment of the
canons reported at the last triennial
convention, which met in Washington
in 1898. The commission recommend.
ed for adoption this clause:
No minister of this church shall sol
emnize marriage of either party to
divorce during the lifetime of the
other party, if the divorce has been
granted for any cause arising after
marriage. This shall not apply tc
the innocent party in a divorce suit
as evidence of such innocence legal
ly certified transcript of the record
showing final judgment or decree Of
court of record having jurisdiction
on the subject matter awarding him
or her a divorce vinculo matrimoni
on the ground of adultery.
This clause was lost in the House
of bishops by vote of "a to 81. Its
adoption was contested at every point
being laid on the table, postponed in
definitely and finally deferred because
it was deemed unwise to bring up the
report again during the convention
When lost, a special committee, com
posed of twelve Bishops, clergymen
and laymen was appointed to frame
satisfactory canonical amendments il
possible for the next convention to ac'
upon.
Law of Church for Years.
The canon, article 10, clause (Which
has called forth the discussion and the
report of the committee is as follows
having been a law in the Episcopa
church for years:
No minister, knowingly after due in
quiry, shall solemnize the marriage o
any person who has a divorced hus
band or wife still living if such hus
band or wife has been put away TO
any cause arising after marriage, bu
this canon shall not be held to appl.
to the innocent party in divorce TO
the cause of adultery or to parties ono,
divorced seeking to be united again.
Fight on Consequently Table.
The triennial convention is compos
ed of 400 persons, eight from each die
cese, and two delegates from each mis-
sionary jurisdiction. 1t is anticipate,
that the consanguinity table will pre-
cipitate sharp discussion because O
the opposition there is to 1t in thi
country. In England the Episcopa
church forbids a widower marrying
his sister-in-law or a widow marryin
her brother-in-law. For years effort
have been made In each convention t
repeal the clause, but it never ha
passed.

UTAH PASSES A BILL IN THE
INTERESTS OF POLYGAMISTs

made for political and religious puns
poses and not with any patriotic desta
to enforce the law.
within the last ten years mueA |
more than half of those involved \
polysamous relations have passe9
away by death. or those relations have
been otherwise dissolved. Most "a
those remaining are advanced In yeaN
and no good or honorable purpose car
be subserved in prosecuting the fey
remaining polysamists. Every one of
these prosecutions is source Of regret
to ninety per cent. of the people oe
Utah, for the reason that such proceed
ings create an agitation harmful to the
state. 1t may be that an agitation
more harmful can be inaugurated By
reason of the passage of this law, but
do not believe it."
Representative W. G. Van Horn OF
Salt Lake, who made an impassiOned
speech against the passage of the bin
in the House today, furnished the As
sociated Press with the following
statement:
.The first object of the bill Is indu-
bitably to prevent prosecution OF those
maintaining polygamous relations long
since contracted. The effect, however,
will probably be TO have adopted a
constitutional amendment giving power
to Congress to legislate against polyg-
amy and unlawful cohabitat.on. Laws
passed under such an amendment
would be prosecuted by United States
district attorneys sworn to enforce tine
law, and the violations will be care
fully looked up by the United States
marshals and their assistants
There will thus he 4 return TO con-
ditions prevalent during the aggressive
prosecutions under the EdnlundsT Tuck
er law, when hundreds OF prominent
Mormons We're imprisoned for their
polygamous practices and numhcrless
others We're in hiding in or cut of Utnh
to avoid arrest. There Will, however,
in case of conviction. be additional
hardships over those suffered in for
mer times Those men convicted were
imprisoned here. near their homes, and
were deemed by their neiGhho.s as
martyrs rather than criminals. Con-
victed under United States law they
would be confined in United states
prisons outside of Utah and away from
the support and consolation of their
friends.
II opposed the bill in all friendship
for the law-abiding people of Ttal and
with pity for the suffering that those
not strictly law-abiding will hrin: up
on themselves. 1t is distinct step
backwards and can bring naught but
misery"
