LAWYERS HAVE Met
Colorado Attorneys Hold Con-
ference to Establish
UNIFORMITY OF LAWS
In State Relative TO Divorce
Proceedings,

Denver, Col, Aug. 19.-The national con-
ference of commissioners on uniform
state laws, which is made up of commits
sions created by the different states will
meet at the Brown Palace hotel today to
consider an act to establish a uniform
law relative to divorce procedure. The
conference viii also discuss a change in
the insurance laws with view to uni
formity. The president of the confer
ence is Judge Lyman D. Brewster Of Dan
bury, Conn. who is also chairman Of the
committee OF the American Bar associa-
ton which has the same object in view.
The conference is a distinct body from
the American Bar association, but al the
members are affiliated with the latter or
ganization and VIII attend its convention
which begins in this city on Wednesday
next.
The commissioners, usually three from
each state, are appointed under the laws
of the respective states creating them,
usually for five years. with authority to
confer with the commissioners Of the
other states and recommend forms Of bills
or measures to bring abou uniformity
of law IN the execution and proofs CT
deeds and wills, in the laws OF bills and
notes, marriage and divorce, and other
subjects where such uniformity seems
practicable and desirable. Thirty states
and two territories have established COM
missions. Several states have laws ere
ating commissions. but either appoint
ments have never been made or have
elapsed.
At the last meeting of the conference
boards the committee having in charge
the question of divorce, which is the sole
question ,of Importance for consideration
at this meeting IN Denver, made rec
concentrations for uniformity of law rela-
tive to divorce procedure. Final action
upon this subject viii probably be ia
ken at the present meeting.
An application from the ministers Of
Denver for a hearing on the divorce ques-
ton was issued today and It was decided
to give them a half hour tomorrow.
TooCSs session was executive and was
chiefly devoted to organization and map
ping out the real work, which will con-
sist largely Of reports and recommended
tons to the general association. A meet
ing was held tonight at which uniformity
of laws pertaining to agriculture was
considered.

gress to recognize and protect the coffee
industry in Porto Rico. 1t can hardly
be doubted, also that it was not the pur-
pose of congress that such protection
should cease upon the enactment and in
stallation of local system Of taxation in
Porto Rico The duty of five cents per
pound on coffee was, I think, distinctly
protective measure. But I regret to say
that see no escape from the conclusion
that the broad and unrestricted provis-
ion of section g. abolishing all tariff dut
les on merchandise and articles going into
Porto Rico from the United States upon
the enactment of a local system of tax
alton, ETC., embraces the duty on coffee
