UNIFORM MARRIAGE
AND DIVORCE LAWS.
President Calls On Congress to Collect
Statistics So That Legislation
Can Be Carried Out.

Washington, d. c., Jan. Bottle
President sent a message to Congress to-
day, calling attention to the fact that no
statistics on marriage and divorce have
been collected since 1886 and recon-
mended legislation.
The President says:
There is widespread conviction that the
divorce laws are dangerously lax and in
differently administered III some states. re-
sulting in a diminishing regard for the sane
tity Of the marriage relation.
The hope is entertained that cooperation
amongst the several states can be secured
TO the end that there may be enacted upon
the subject Of marriages and divorce, uniform
laws, containing all possible safeguards for
the security of the family. Intelligent and
prudent action in that direction will be
greatly promoted by securing reliable and
trustworthy statistics marriage and di-
vorce. ! deem the matter of sufficient gen
eral Importance to recommend that the di-
rector of the census be authorized by ap
proprfate Legislation to collect and publish
statistics pertaining to that subject cover
ing the period from 1886 to the present time.

New York, Jan. 30.-Abraham Faster

Evidence that both had made desperate
efforts to attract attention was afforded
by cuts and bruises on both bodies and
by blood stained scratches in the plaster
OF the walls.

1Ox6 feet. Then down another pair of
stairs and in rear cellar is the steam
room, the door of which is of heavy
wood, shutting as tightly as the door Of
butchers refrigerator. Lying on the
floor of this hole in the ground and near
the door, as if they had fallen in an eff
fort to reach the air, the two young men
were found.
Jacob Dobowich, who acts in the dual
capacity of attendant and fireman. found
them. The steamroOm is supposed to be
closed at / o'clock in the morning. How
the men got into it no one could guess.
The only one who remembered ever hav
ing seen them before was Dobowich. He
said that at about ) o'clock in the morn
ing the young men were lying side by
side on leather covered sofas up in the
room on the second floor, where those
who wish to stay all night are accom-
modated. 1t is supposed that soon after
Dobowich left them they got up and stole
urobserved down into the steamroom.
The method of filling the rooms with
steam is primitive. There is brick oven
like bakers with a wide iron door
When steam is wanted buckets of cold
water are thrown into the oven. If the
two men died natural deaths, and Cor
oner Scholer, who took charge of the
case, thinks they did, the theory is that
they were overcome. Coroner Scholer
thinks that it was suffusion of the lungs
with hot steam which Killed them.
