Fayor Long Courtships.


After prolonged discussions lasting
nearly week the report OF the commit
tee of marriage and divorce was p resent
ed at the last moment at the closing SEES
sion Of the sixty-ffth Rock River con-
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal church
Tuesday night in Chicago.
The report recommended a long court
ship-long enough to test the quality OF
love.
The importance of the permanence OF
the marriage tie was emphasized as hav-
ing a direct bearing on human develop
ment.
The committee was unanimous In main
tanning that a marriage was contracted
"until death doth part" The bond was
declared to be indissoluble and never to
be entered into irreverently or iuadyised-
ly. =,
The principal contention that divided
the committee was upon the question OF
recognizing as a candidate for second
marriage the innocent party to divorce
decree. The decision was a compro-
mise.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that legislation ought to be adopted for
the purpose of prohibiting the remar-
rage OF the guilty matrimonial party to
divorce decree during the lifetime OF
the innocent party TO the contention.
Stamping divorce as a species OF sell
6shness, the report condemned the "free
lover" who, "ninety times out OF hum
bred, seeks divorce that he may have
more marriages"
The conference voted to join with
other churches in an attempt to obtain
uniform divorce laws in every State.

CASE 70
Be HEARD TODAY

Judge Dolc's court went into ses.
sion this forenoon for the hearing of
facts in the Mikala KaipO habeas cor.
pus case. but after a lengthy discus.
sion Attorney Ashford, representing
the petitioner, secured a continuance
Ol the hearing until this afternoon
During this IL was established that tho
Attorney General will have to put M
his case first, although Mikala Kaipu
is the petitioner.
When the case was called Ashford
was not present. Andrews said that
Ashford had told him that he wanted
q continuance, but Andrews was anx.
iuus for a speedy hearing.
Ashford was sent for and soon ar.
rived. He said that he had been occu.
pied in court to such an extent that
he had not been able to get his medical
witnesses in court today. He asked
that the hearing he continued. Any
day after Christmas would be conven.
lent to him.
Andrews wanted speedy trial and
suggested that the matter be heard
Saturday but Ashford thought that the
morning of Christmas eve would hard
ly bc proper time. Andrews suggest.
cd tomorrow but Ashford had other
engagements. He did not think that
there was any special hurry IN getting
the woman off TO Molokai.
Andrews stated that he had six medl.
cal witnesses and President Pinkham
who would he busy next week. He
said that Saturday forenoon would be
good time. The case of pinkham.
unless the witnesses were very much
cross examined. would take only abOuC
half an hour. aud the case could thus
be- finished on Saturday. Ashford
doubted that half an hour would ne
sufficient for Andrews many medical
witnesses.
THE gentlemen of the Board Of
Health will have to give reasons for
their great faith" he said. As far as
Pinkham was concerned he would
agree to having his testimony taken
right along.
This brought up the question regard.
ing which side should begin. Andrews
said that he objected to having Pink.
hams testimony taken before the peti.
toners evidence had been heard as the
defense would want TO know what the
petitioner alleged before they could put
on testimony before they know what
points they were called upon to refute.
Ashford said that the defense alleg,
ed that the woman was being held ac-
cording to due process of law and IL
was up to them to begin the case by
putting on evidence to support the
facts alleged by them. Judge Dole up
held Ashford in his contention and
under this order of things II was found
agreeable to both sides to have the
hearing begin at . o'clock this aft,
ernoon, the rest of the case to be heard
Saturday forenoon
