LAW RELATING TO DIVORCES
Effect of Amendment on Lines Sug-
gested by Justice Hagner.

An amendment to section 9G3 Of the code
OF law for the District Of Columbia by the
addition Of a proviso that all petitions for
divorce pending on the 31st OF December,
l'"l, may be proceeded with and disposed
of under proceedings OF the statute I'm force
on said date, was adopted Yesterday ny
the House at the suggestion of Representa-
tive Mudd. II this should become law. IL
Will authorize the District Supreme Court
to pass upon several hundreds of petitions
which Justice Hagner has held could not
be considered in the absence Of sucb an
amendment
A large number Of applications for d.
Norce were presented to the court. they
having been instituted before the LIST Of
January, 1907 In some Of them the tes-
timony was fully taken; I'm others only par
TALLY, or not at all. Some of the applica-
lohs were for divorce from the bond OF
marriage upon the ground of adultery
either alone or In connection with charges
or drunkenness, cruelty or desertiop: and
others were upon some or all Of the latter
charges, emitting that of adultery. Still
others were applications for independent
alimony without prayer for divorce.
All OF the causes in which adultery was
charged have been regularly acted on. since
as the code recognizes a divorce for adui-
terry there is plainly in existence a law
under which such decree could be rem
dered. In the same manner the court has
assumed jurisdiction of the applications for
or chancery to grant such relief is indie
pendent OF statute, and the section OF the
code on that subject only contains directory
provisions in connection with its admnis-
tration. But in others Of the causes COM
menced before January, 1862. which do not
claim divorce for adultery, but rely only
upon the charge of drunkenness, cruelty
or desertion, action was suspended. Ar
guments Were heard. and Justice Hagner,
the 18th of April. announced an opinion,
concluding as follows:
With reference to the suits which were
commenced before the code came into op-
Grafton, I of opinion there can be no
divorce with respect to the charge OF
drunkenness, cruelty or desertion in the alb
sence of an amendment distinctly stating
Of such be the desire OF Congress- that
they should be tried by the court now
and determining whether the relief granted
should be according to the old law or &C
cording to the new; and with such a clear
description of the character OF the drunk
enness. desertion and cruelty spoken OF
and of the duration of those offenses which
would entitle the complainant to relief"

child was alone in room on the upper
floor playing with matches and when it's

Her dress was ablaZe when members of the
family answered her cries.
Mrs. Goldman succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze. but not until the child had been
burned over about two-thirds of her body
DIR. Kemp of 433 G street northwest was
summoned, and word was also sent to the

child.
Later in the day the little sufferer was
removed to the Childrens Hospital, and the
surgeons there reported that her burns
were serious but not necessarily fatal. The
child was resting comfortably this after
noon, and the doctors think she will re-
