FOR UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

Justice DugrO Thinks Federal Courts should
Have Exclusive Jurisdiction.
In deciding that Miss Marguerite Lemon
an opera singer. is entitled to have her
marriage TO ]. Reed Litte!l, lawyer Of this
city, annulled because the divorce obtained
bv Iittells first wife in Illinois is not valid
In this State, Supreme Court Justice Dugro
expressed the opinion yesterday that there
should be uniform divorce laws throughout
The Union and that II would be a public
benefit II the Const itution we're 80 amended
~ 20 give the Federal courts exclusive
jurisdiction IN matrimonial actions.
After hearing the evidence, Justice
DuTo remarked that be regretted that
under the laws Of this State he could not
recognize the validity Of the Illinois decree,
Lecause. though undoubtedly Mrs. Littell
was a resident OF Illinois, there was no
marital domicile such as the laws Of this
tate require. He regretted to have TO annul
The marriage, he said, as he personally
believed that the public welfare would be
better served by decree UNFOLDING the
Illinois divorce.
Il do not believe in setting marriages
aside In this way said just ice Dugro
but am bound by the authorities. This
case illust rates forcibly 70 me the necessit v
20 uniform divorce laws throughout the
country, and also the wisdom Of having
on amendment to the Constitution which
would ermit the coEnizance Of matrimonial
actions 10 come within the consideratiL n
of the United States courts rather than the
state courts.'
Leventritt 4 Brennan, counsel for Littell,
said afterward that they would carry the
case 20 the Court Of Appeals and then TO the
Tederal courts 30 that final determinat ion
might be had at Washington.
