MAKING DIVORCE HARD.
Interstate Conference to Meet Here
for That Purpose.

'"Whom God hath Joined together let no man
put asunder!"
To make this teaching of the church more
effective which means putting difficulties in the
way of divorce in the United States a general
movement OF wider proportions than most peo-
pie realize is now under way It is making d
fight that is both scientific and practical, and
the gains that have been made in the last few
years are being held.
The next step of this anti-divorce crusade will
be u meeting of the Interstate Conference on
Marriage and Divorce in this city on December
10. This conference will include representa-
lives from the Presbyterian. Protestant Epis-
copal Methodist Reformed United Presby-
terrain, Evangelical Lutheran, Congregational
Universalist, Unitarian Reformed Presbyterian
Baptist and Cumberland Presbyterian denom-
nations. It has issued an appeal to the Chris
tian public asking aid in securing unity of legal
procedure in the several States in order to
check and control hasty divorces and prevent
the possibility of procuring fraudulent divorces
for the purpose of remarriage. Various de-
velopments since the last meeting of the con
ference viii be discussed and plans for the
future campaign outlined. The Rev. DR.. Will
lam c. Doane, Bishop Of Albany is the chair
man.
This church conference is only one step in the
unusual encouragement. as review Of the
divorce discouraging legislation of the present
year will show.
The most important action was that Of Penn
sy1vania in taking the lead in a movement for
conference between commissions of the several
States for the purpose IF securing uniform
divorce legislation The conference will meet in
Washington February 10 to 26, Thirty-four
States have made response to the invitation,
and commissioners for this special service have
already been appointed from fourteen States.
Many other States have given assurance of
their purpose TO do so. and all the rest have ex-
pressed their interest in the project and their
desire to cooperate.
California has passed most stringent law
forbidding the advertising by lawyers for d.
vorce suits. The San Francisco papers were
once well sprinkled with these advertisements.
many OF which promised to secure divorces at
small cost The Bureau OF Labor has been
directed to collect statistics on divorce IN the
Golden State and to report them annually.
Illinois has followed tbs example set by the
Empire State, and, now practically fOrbids the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-12-10

so-called common law marriage" new
statute in this State forbids the remarriage or
the defendant in divorce suit within year. If
the offence is adultery, the prohibition is for two
years. and the marriage in either case invali-
dates the divorce. The remarriage clauses have
already had the effect Of reducing the number
of Illinois divorces nearly so per cent.
New-York has taken the still further precau-
ton of making all DEGREES interlocutory for
three months. This State now has one OF the
most stringent divorce codes in the country, and
the National League for the Protection Of the
Family and other ant-divorce organizations are
well pleased with the situation.
North Carolina has repealed all its statutory
grounds for divorce, except adultery, thus re-
turning to its strict law which in effect
prior to 1888
legislation in the coming year is said to be most
excellent The Dakotas and Oklahoma, long
notorious for the laxity of their divorce laws are
planning still further restrictions. There was a
time when three months residence was sufficient
to bring one in touch with their divorce laws,
which granted an absolute separation for almost
any imaginabls reason from tncompatbility
down. Under the present laws one has to reside
in the States at least a year, and the divorce
colonies at Sioux Falls and other places have
shrunk materially.
On the old New-York statute books there is a
law making it a crime to leave the State with
the intent to fight duel and even In the days
when duels were not uncommon 1t did its work
The advocates of divorce reform ask that similar
laws be passed making it unlawful for a man or
woman TO slip away to obtain divorce They
would have such persons held accountable on
their return to their home State. They cite dect-
sions Of the United States Supreme Court sus-
tanning the right of a State to protect itself
against the loosen laws of other States Some
ten or twelve years ago Delaware, at the in
stance of Justice Grubb, of her Supreme Court,
enacted law providing that the courts OF that
State should not entertain suit for divorce for
any cause arising prior to the residence OF the
parties within the State unless IL were also q
cause in the State OF Delaware The commits
sions on uniform legislation. it IS said, win in
corporate this act in their proposed uniform law.
you have heard much of uniform marriage
and divorce laws through amendment OF the
Constitution of the United States" said the
Rev Dr. Samuel w Dixie, of Auburndale, Mass
secretary of the National League for the Pro-
lection Of the Family. IN discussing the divorce
reform with a Tribune reporter the other day.
This was almost the only way to secure uni
formity that was thought OF twenty years ago
by those who discussed It In public. It was IN
1881 that ex-PresIdent Woolsey of Yale sug-
gested that such uniformity could best be Sc
cured through the concurrent action OF the sew
eral States. Three years later Governor Robin
son of Massachusetts, recommended this method

the majority chose the Harlem. as they We're

to the legislature in his annual message BaI
nothing came of either suggestion
1.-THE idea of an amendment was the only one
that could get the ear Of the people. Finally
after much agitation. led by the National
League, Congress ordered an investigation Of
the divorce situation in the entire country ana
in 1899 Carroll D. Wright's report was published
This report showed that in more than 231-OOO
divorces in twenty years whose place Of mar
rage was known little over so per cent were
granted in the States where the parties had
been married. We who feared that uniform
law under an act of Congress would, BY us
adoption Of some average conditions for divorce
bring New-York, South Carolina and the other
States having a stricter law down to q common
level, and so increase divorces. were JUSTIFIED u
cur course. The gain of a uniform Status ior
the married and divorced, though important N
ITSELF would be purchased at too great cost
1t was perceived that the report OF Commis-
sioner Wright set aside the plan OF amendment
for time at least.
"The work of forming State commissions has
been necessarily a slow one. In order to over
come popular objections to the creation Of COM
missions it was necessary to provide that tne
commissioners should serve without pay, exceps
for actual expenses for travelling. 1t has been
difficult for the States to secure the services OF
able men who could afford to put time anu

COMMISSIONER ROCKWELL.
From Railroad Conductor to State
Official oith Fiuefod Pag.

From a railroad conductor to membership in
board with almost dictatorial powers over all
the railroads IN the State is a long jump. Yet
this IS just exactly what Henry N. Rockwell, of
YoEkers has made. One week ago he was the
conductor OF the Second Empire State Express
on the New-Yorlo Central and Hudson River
Railroad with host Of officials over him to give
orders To-day he is member of the State
Railroad Commission. and even the board Of d-
rectors of his former employing company must
ask now instead of ordering.
Mr. Rockwell was born in Utica July 4, 1S49,
When sixteen years old he entered the super
3ntendent's Office on the Mohawk division of the
New-York Central Railroad ard learned teleg-
raphy Later he was made train dispatcher. On
January II. 1873. he became a conductor and has
been employed as such ever since. He was first
stationed on the Harlem division and his run
was to Chatham. Later he was transferred to
The Hudson River division and has remained
there ever since.
II seems almost like a joke to hear Of how
railways were run only thirty-three years ago as
compared with the present day. In speaking OF
these things Mr Rockwell says: NY first train
on the Harlem was crude affair compared with
those OF to-day, yet it was considered fine in
stitution then. II was composed OF two coaches
q smoker and a baggage car. There were no air
brakes and the conductor and trainmen had to
counters. the result being wide space between
the cars. and a humping and Earring when the
train was stopping. This space was covered with
a TELESCOPES bridge The cars were heated with

FOR EXPANSION
Oakland's Fashionable Out
door Organization Desires
to Acquire More Property

OAKLAND, June 16.-The Claremont
Country Club, Oakland's rival to Bur-
lingame, has decided to expand. It's spa
cious grounds, formerly beautiful Rock
ridge Park, have already become made
quate to the demands of the members, and
legal steps have been taken to acquire
additional property to meet the clubs re-
quirements.
There was filed to-day in the Superior
Court petition by the club to blanket
mortgage its property for $S5, ,O00 One
purpose Of the move is to consolidate the
Indebtedness, the other reason is to raise
money with which to purchase more land
The last Legislature repealed a statute
which forbid corporations not formed for
financial profit from owning more than
fifty acres of land. Repeal of this act en-
ables the club to proceed on its plan Of
expansion.
The new land to be bought will be used
for golf, tennis and other outdoor sports.
The petition is presented by Edwin Good
all as president and Sam Bell Mckee as
secretary OF the Claremont Country Club.
The roster of the club includes the names
of the leaders in Oakland's social circles.
