PRESIDENT FIRM
AGAINST DIVORCE
Receives Bishop Doane and
Interchurch Committee.
THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION
Delivers Brief Speech in Which He
Pleads for Intelligent Regard for
Marriage Tie.
THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION

President Roosevelt has received the
Right Rev. William c. Doane, Bishop
of Albany, and a committee of the
nterchurch conference on marriage and
divorce
The committee represented thirteen
of the leading Protestant ecclesiastical
bodies, and before going to the White
House, held a session at the Church of
the Epiphany. The action of the Amer
lean Bar Association OF 1900, in the pro-
posed unification of divorce laws, was
Endorsed 1t was agreed that only the
innocent party in divorce proceedings
should have the right of remarriage. 1t
no marriage should be allowed until at
least one year after a divorce has been
granted.
The different churches represented at
the conference will be called upon to
ratlfy the action taken.
President in Accord.
At the White House the committee
found President Roosevelt thoroughly
III accord with their general views
President Roosevelt said:
Bishop Doane and Gentlemen: Ii Is
a very great pleasure to meet you here.
There is a certains tendency 20 exalt
the uneSsential in dealing with our pub
lie questions, and public men especially
are apt to get their attention concen-
ance, but wholly ephemeral import
ance, compared with the questions that
go straight to the root of things.
Questions like the tariff and the cur
rency are of literally no consequence
whatsoever compared with the vital
question of having the unit of our social
life, the home, preserved. 1t is i'm
possible to oyerstate the Importance of
the ca use you represent
Cure of All Problems.
If the average husband and wife full
fill their duties toward one another and
toward their children as Christianity
teaches them, then we may rest abso-
will solve themselves. But if we have
solved every other problem in the wisesi
: possible way il shall profit us nothins
ii We have lost our own national soul
and We have lost it If We do not hay,
the question of the relations of the fam
Ivy put upon the proper basis.
While / do not know exactly what i
is that you wish me to do, / can say II
advance that so far in me al will b.
done TO cooperate with you toward tn,
end that you nave III view. One of tn
most unpleasant and dangerous feature
of our American life is the diminish
iag birth-rate and the loosening OF tn
marital tie among the old native Ameri
can families.
IT goes without SAYING that for tn
race for the individual. no materia
prosperity, no business growth. no ar
listic or scientific development vii
Therefore, bishop, | count myself for
tunate in having the chance TO worl
with you in this matter of vital i'm
portance to the national welfare.

ARREST OF THE SMITHS.
Both Appeared to be Nervous and
 Worried.


 cincinnati, Chio. B-trch 3O-J. Nor i gan Smith and his wife were arrested in this city today on a charge of COIL sEiracy to murder. The arrest was made on tho teleg-aphic request of District Attorney Jerome of New York city
 Nan Patterson, actress. who has been twice put on trial for the murder of Ceasar Young in New York on May 4, 1904. is charged with conspiracy in the same connection, new indictments to this effect having been found in New York today.
 Smith ard his wife left New York few months after the murder and be- fore the beginning of the mis-trial, and for long time the authorities were unable to locate them. Smiths testi- mOny and his identity are considered almost vital to the case against Miss Patterson. Several weeks ago a New York detective met Smith in Montreal, and from that time until the arrest here today this officer has awaited a favor able time for making the arrest
 He followed the couple part of the time as a travelling companion, over half the continent. having made friends with Smith, who knew him to be a de- tective. but believed the officer was dIleF some OFIeT person.
 Detroit, Cleveland and a number of Canadian cities were visited Finally Smith went to Nashville and Louisville ir the hope of securing a position with one of the bookmakers in those cities, leaving his wife in Cleveland He was unsuccessful and came to Cincinnati. where his wife met him on Wednesday. Mrs. Smith said she had relatives in CovingtOn, Ky, and she went with her husband to that city yesterday to call T,n these people, who however refused to see visitors and afterward declared there was no relationship between them. Returning to this city Smith registered at the Grand Hotel as H. H. Banning and wife.
 The detective had kept in telegraph communication with New York and had deferred the arrest until it was possible to arrest both, their separa- 7 tiOn soon after reaching the United |. States on returning from Canada hav- | ing caused the delay.
 The arrest was quietly made and Smith and his wife were taken to police : headquarters, where they made no at tempt to deny or conceal their identity, both denied their guilt in with the case. They show ed signs of nervousness and worry, but both declared that they would re- turn to New York without reqUisition and they had expected to do so, aI- though they had not anticipated going lnder arrest.

Bill for Conspiracy Against
 Nan Patterson
HER RELATIVES INCLUDED
The Much Hunted for ]. Morgan Smith and Wife Arrested at Cincin. nati by a Detective Who Had Trav- eled With Them for Months.

New York, March 3O.-The grand jury in this city handed down indict- Toents against J. Morgan Smith. Julia Smith, lis wife, and Nan Patterson. charging them jointly with conspiracy. The indictments are based on a letter having been written by Julia Smith to Ceasar Young, in which it is alleged. was a threat and demand for money for the Patterson girl.
 This action by the grand jury follow ed hearing at the criminal courts building ct which several witnesses in cluding the widow of Ceasar Young and Mrs. Young's brother-in-law, Wm. Luce, were examined by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Rand who conducted the recent trial of Nan Patterson. charged with Ceasar Young's murder, which resulted in q disagreement by the jury.
 The arrest Of Smith and his wife at Cincinnati, according to local authori- ties, will have an important bearing upon the new trial of the Patterson girl on the charge of murder, set for April 10. At the previous trial an attempt was made to prove that the revolver with which Young was shot was pur- chased by Smith and the woman the day before the tragedy.
 A deputy sheriff of the district at torney's office left here today for AL bany with requisition papers for Smith and his wife which Governor Higgins will be asked to sign. As soon the gov ernor's signature is obtained the de- Puty will start for Ohio. In addition to the conspiracy charge Smith is also under indictment for contempt of court in failing to respond to a subpoenae in the preliminary examination before the grand jury. Nan Patterson had not been informed of the arrest of her sis ter and brother-in-law up to a late hour.

Views With DiStruSt the
 Movements of Wilhelm
PROPOSED TANGIER VISIT
It Is Feared That It Will Upset the AnslO-French Plans for the CiviIi- zatiOn of the Northwestern Part Of Africa.

London, March 3O.-The editorial ar ticles and dispatches printed in Lon don newspapers this morning reflect certain sense of uneasiness almost amounting to irritation, at the idea. based on Chancellor Von Buelov's speech in Reichstag on March 2s. that Emperor Williams visit to Tangier has distinctly political motive The sub ject was also much commented upon In the Iobbies of the houses Of parliament yesterday.
 "Russia's eclipse is Gerlnany's op- portunity," crystaIlIzes in a sentence the general idea prevalent on the sub Ject It is suggested that Emperor William. far from desiring to irrItate France. wishes rather to emphasize the diminished value Of the Russian alliance and thereby persuade France of the advisability of a rapproachment with Germany. At the same time those least inclined to cavil at the German emperor's action admit that it is cal culated to stiffen the suItan's resist ance to the French Dolic-- in Morocco and so retard the civihzing scheme fn- volved in the Anglo-Fre agreement
 In this light the usually moderate Daily Telegraph says the eTnperors visit to Tangier can only be regarded as cn unfriendly act. Other papers are inclined to doubt the wisdom or Emperor Williams policy, which they think is more likely to result Tn strengthening the Anglo French en- tente. Much satisfaction therefore. is expressed at the exchange Of visits which is being arranged for the French and British fleets during the coming summer. The initiative in this demon stratiOn ot friendship is said to have been taken by the British government and in Paris. it seemed to be hoped that tlco visit of tho British squadron to Brest or CherbOurg would be the Oc- cG@ion also of 2 visit by King Edward or some other member of the royal Ia

A JAPANESE OPINION
Which Further States That a Relin- quishment of Indemnity or Terri
 tory Would Be an Unheard of Thing. Linevitch's Extraordinary Address.

London, March 3O.-Peace talk is prevalent everywhere but that negoti- ations have commenced is still denied in a!! official circ,as here M Taka- haski. the Japanese special fnancier commissioner. in an interview today said to the Associated Press: The war cost between $25O, O,0OO and $500, ,OOO,- GOO. the first year. It would be unpre- cedented in the history of great wars that no indemnity and no territory be given uD by the vanquished.
 While it is beyond my province to discuss the terms of peace I can ex- press my personal opinion that as the war was forced upon Japan 1t is not likely she will waive the right to an indemnity and cession of territory when concluding peace. What indem- nifty vii! Ae demanded I cannot say, but it is my private opinion that it will at least cover the expenses of the war"
