DIVORCE BILL. T1'ETOED..
GoOermor Higgins. Returns Phillips
Measure to 4SsembIy.

IBf TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNEl
Albany, March 20-The conservative position
of New-York State on the divorce question was
more firmly established this evening by Cover
nor Higgins's veto of the Phillips bill, This meas
ure. which, extends the privilege of divorce to
non-residents in cases where the guilty party
lives in New-York and the offence was commit
ted here, was returned to the Assembly with
message declaring the Governors belief that
whatever the legal arguments in its favor were
they were of little weight compared with the
duty of maintaining the high moral ground
hitherto occupied in this important matter of
domestic morals" This position is practically
the same as that taken by representatives of
Bishop Doane's diocese at the hearing last Sat
urday. The Governor gives his reason as fol-
lows:
This would involve a radical change in the
policy of the. State governing actions for d di-
vorce. The law, as it stands, has in sub
stance been in force ever since the adoption of
the Revised Statutes. and 1t would seem that
the amendment ought not to prevail unless some
controlling reason therefor exists. 1t is not
clear to my mind that any good purpose would
be served by the amendment. It's unqlestioned
effect would be to open the doors of our courts
TO non-residents of this State seeking divorces
from our residents, and thereby to increase
greatly the number Of divorce DEGREES already
too numerous and TO break down the standard
maintained by this State in regard to actions
brought to dissolve the marriage tie 1t would
In my Judgment, be step backward for the
state of New-York to leave the high ground ii
has hitherto occupied in this important matter
of domestic morals .s.
Doubtless, by reason of legal technicaties,
there are isolated cases where an. innocent party
suffers hardship by reason Of our existing laws
as TO Jurisdiction. and doubtless a law may
argue that the amendment is consistent and
proper Indeed. Of all the judges whose opinion
have been able to obtain on this point only
one advised me that in his Judgment it would
be against sound legal policy for me to approve
lhls alnendment. have however. come to the
conclusion that the plea of legal consistency Is
OF little weight when compared with the duty of
maintaining unshaken the present conservative
position OF the State on the divorce question

HIGGINS ON FORESTS.
Said to FAVOR Lac to Dispose of
Timber-Defends Middleton.
[Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuSE.l

lBy THE TRIBUSEI
Albany, March 20.-That the Governor would
favor a. law enabling the State to dispose of its
burned and fallen timber tn the Adirondack
preserve was evident to-day from several things
he said In discussing the recent complaints
against the Forest, Fish and Game Commission.
The situation in the Adirondacks. he explained.
was difficult to handle from the fact that many
of the residents could not understand the JUS
tice of the present statute forbidding the re-
moyaf OF the timber from the State lands under
any circumstances whatever. For many years
1t has been practice to take dead and burned
trees left in the wake of a forest fire, without
attempt at copcealment, confess Judgment for
the offence and still realize a profit.
Such proceedings have been recognized almost
as quasi-legal and the sentiment regarding them
is hard to- change. Complaints come from those
persons who want the Adirondacks preserved
absolutely untouched, and al present these OBJ
jections have the law behind them.
Il am convinced, however, said the Governor,
that Forest Commissioner Middleton Is an
honest and reliable man, who is very much dis
turbed by the state of affairs complained Of
His position is a difficult one, for such depreda
lions hard to prevent and punish when the
sympathy of the whole region is with the. Of
fender"
Governor Higgins declared that he did not
consider the letters he had received relating to
Commissioner Middleton and Chief Game Pro-
tector Pond charges, but only complaints,
and that neither of these officials had been cited
to appear before him.
