DIVORCE LAWS
TO Be AMENDED
Bill Is introduced Making
Insanity a Ground for a
Severance of Marital Ties
ESPEY GIVES HIS VIEWS
Assemblyman From Alameda
Says That Too Many Mar
riages Are Made in Haste
ESPEY GIVES HIS VIEWS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 26.-Insanity
is made ground for a divorce under a
bill introduced to-day by Assembly
man Espey Of Alameda. The measure
provides that the marriage ties may
be severed upon proof by the plain
tiff that the defendant has been suf-
fering for three years or more. sub
sequent to the marriage, with incur
able chronic mania or dementia." 1t
is provided that in such cases the
District Attorney shall represent the
defendant If no one else appears in
the latter's behalf.
Assemblyman Espey says he be-
lieves the way to reduce the number
of divorces is to make marriage
harder.
Divorce is becoming a great evil"
he says. I'm Alameda County one
third of the suits filed the last year
were for divorce. If people didn't get
married with such haste in some cases
there would be less to regret after
ward and fewer divorce suits. I am
in favor of McCartney's bill placing
restrictions upon the securing of mar
riage licenses and providing that mar
riages shall take place in the county
where one or the other of the parties
resides. If I had my way, L think
would establish the old law for the
publication of banns. No, am not
going to introduce any bill providing
for such publication"
McCartney's first bill relating to the
INobtaining Of marriage licenses and to
marriage having been sat down upon
in committee, he has eliminated all
that part regarding licenses and intrQ-
duced a new one containing only the
provision that marriages shall take
place at the residence of one of the
parties. This, too, will probably be
killed. One of it's principal opponents
is Assemblyman Bates of Alameda. He
draws a word picture that should stop
the progress of dozen such bills.
"Supposing," he said, "a young man
were coming from the East and at Gin
cinnati or any other place where they
have them a pretty girl should get on
with her folks, who were making a
man and the pretty girl should meet
and 1t should be a case of love at first
sight. BY the time they reached San
Francisco the proposal would have
been made and they would want to get
married. Could you call the hotel the
residence of either? Would it be right
to have law that would prevent those
fiuttering young hearts from being
Joined?
Then there are cases of engaged
couples from other States making CAL
ifornia a common meeting ground for
the purpose of being married They
any effort to cast obstacles in the way
of romances of the heart. They are
outside the pale of legislation"
Books are powerless to help you un-
less you read them.

by John F. Forward, County Recorder
or San Diego County, was also passed.
Senator Ward explained that Forward
had done much work for the State at
his own expense, there being no pro-
vision in the San Diego County law
under which he could collect and his
only remedy was to secure rel1er from
the Legislature. The Senate has now
passed his claim and the Assembly
will take it up. shortly.
Among other bills presented this aft
ernoon were series by Pendleton ex-
tending the rights Of the people in ac-
tions in eminent domain. The bill ex-
tends the right to the utilization by the
people of any county Of waters i'm
pounded or in reservoirs within the
borders of their county. If carried,
these measures would enable the peo-
pie of San Mateo to compel the Spring
Valley Water Company to supply the
towns of the county from the system
now used exclusively for San Francisco.
and would operate In many like cases.
1t is quite probable that the bills will
create a fight on the floor.
FILE 1T TAKEN UP.
The introduction of bills completed
for the day, the file was again taken
up. Wolfe's bill regulating the employ
ment and hours Of labor Of children,
prohibiting the employment sof minors
under certain ages and prohibiting the
employment of illiterate minors was
finally passed. This bill will do much
toward relieving children that have
been the victims of the sweat shop"
system.
Wolfe, who introduced a bill yeeter-
day modifying the system by which
electors are identified at the time of
registration, withdrew the same to-day.
He explained to the Senate that he had
introduced the bill at the instance of
others and had not given II the closest
attention. He was told. however, that
it simply eliminated the Objectionable
features in the present law, such as a
record OF scars, height and color Of
eyes. as required in criminal identifica-
tion systems, and substituted therefor
the system Of signatures, that bankers
have found to sufficiently protect them.
He had heard, however, that there was
objection to the bill on the ground that
it would make fraud easier, and while
he might hold different opinion he
was willing to yield, hence would with
draw the bill.
The Senate again met tonight, but
after a few code revision bills were
read the second tim. adjournment was
taken.

REVISION OF THE CODES
Special Dispatch to The Call

SACRAMENTO, Jan 26.-The AS
sembly this morning took action that
assures the passing by that body at
this session of all the code revision bills
prepared by Code Commissioner John
,.F. Davis. There were a few members
of the House who had felt that the AS
sembly would not have time to take UP
the bills and that an extra session
would have to be called to pass them.
On motion of Mccartney, seconded by
MCGOWAN, the lower House adopted a
resolution that every Wednesday even
. ing during the rest Of the session, from
the hour of 1880 to 10, be devoted to
reading and passing these bills.
The bill providing for an appropria-
ton of $40, 900 for the Lewis and Clark
Exposition at Portland is now ready for
the Governor. On the ground that 1t
was an urgency measure, the AS
.sembly dispensed with its second and
third reading and placed it on final
passage. The Senate has already
passed 1t.
Wastes bill No. $40 and Treadwell's
No. 80, relating to the employees of the
new Courts of Appeal, were, on motion
of Waste, referred to the Judiciary
Committee as a special committee, with
instructions to report on them to-mor-
row. Waste said many kilograms ask
ing that the bill be passed at once as
the new courts were soon to be In ex-
istence had been received.
The bill fathered by the Supreme
Court, according to the statement Of
Assemblyman Duryea, providing that
examinations Of applicants for lawyers
certificates shall be held by the new
Courts of Appeal was passed
: At the afternoon session the bill in
creasing the salaries of the San Fran
cisco Superior Judges to $4,000 a year
was passed without opposition.
The bill adding three Judges to the
Superior bench of Los Angeles was al
lowed to go over by it's author, Houser,
when 1t was called for final passage. 1t
will take forty-four votes to pass it and
there were only fifty seven members
present.
Thompson's bill providing. that all
community property not given to one
party or the other at the time of grant
ing final decree of divorce should go
to the party in whose name it stood at
the time of entering the decree was
beaten after fight made on 1t by
Coghlan of San Francisco. Community
property usually stands in the name Of
the husband and the proposed law
would work a hardship on the wife
whenever there was an oversightsin the
matter of partitioning 1t, when so held.
Espey's bill which provides for one
probation officer and five deputies for
San Francisco, one probation officer
and one deputy for Los Angeles and
one probation officer for Alameda
County, the salaries being $125 and 800
a month respectively, was passed.
Stanton's bills providing for the en-
forcement of the laws against the pol
luton of ice and water were passed.

and uneventful election to-day on the
questions of buying a site and erect

lost. 1t was proposed to vote $4,000
bonds for the purchase of site, but
owing to a sentiment in favor of
