UNIFORM LAW ON DIVORCE
Project Given Good Start by State Repre-
sentatives at Washington.
JOHN [. WEBSTER TELLS OF THE WORK
Thinks IL viii he Fa--ReachinE In
Influence, but Delegates Did
Not Reach Any Decisive
Conclusions.

John L. Webster mas returned from a trip
to Washington, where he went as a dele
gate to the congress on uniform divorce
laws, a body called together by an act
of the legislature of Pennsylvania, which
appropriated $1,000 to pay the expenses of
the congress in session and drafting the
code. More than 100 delegates from forty
two states attended, Nebraska being rep
resented by Mr.. Webster and r. w.
breckenridge. The gathering was in ses-
sion from Monday until Thursday.
Beyond the adoption of generally worded
principles, the congress took no decisive
action, placing the drafting of a proposed
uniform code in the hands, of a committee,
which will report to final meeting TO be
held subsequently.
practically all of my time in Washing
ton was taken up by attendance at the
congress and also at a meeting of the
committee on uniform insurance laws OF
the congress on uniform state laws" saic
Mr.. Webster. Il met the president cas-
ually and had a few minutes conversation
with him.
Divorce Law Congress.
Il regard the divorce law congress as a
most important meeting and one that is
likely to initiate developments of far
reaching nature. While the congress was
able to agree upon certain broad and gem
eral principles having for their object the
placing of restraint upon the granting of
divorces and diminishing the number of
legal separations between husband and
WIFE yet it is evident there will be sharp
and severe differences of opinion when il
comes to fixing the precise laws to be
recommended to the various states.
The chief general principles enuncated
may be summed up as follows:
Against what are termed migratory d-
| residence in state as requirement TO
! gain divorce
Prohibition of the granting of secret
divorces by requiring all proceedings TO ne
in open court and with the appointment
of an attorney for the defendant when the
| latter does not make defense.
| Against collusive divorces.
| THE necessity for agreement upon uni
/ form causes for divorce and limiting the
grounds upon which DEGREES may be
granted.
Conflict Is Threatened.
The probable attitude of the New York
and Massac husetts delegates threatens 20
precipitate conflict New York laws recog-
nize but one valid cause for divorce
| adultery-and persons divorced on other
| grounds i'm other states are liable to Grim
/ inal punishment for both adultery and
bigamy If they return to New York and
re-marry. In Massachusetts divorces of
other states are not recognized unless
granted for causes authorized by the
Massachusetts laws. 1t does not seem as
1 though delegates from other states care
to go as far as the New York extreme.
Considerable discussion, no doubt. will
be provoked i'm the settlement of the con-
| troversy.

r. A. Benson has employed one campaign
method at least which occasioned quite
a bit Of amusing embarrassment for a little
while in a certain household in an upper

carry his autograph photographs to the
homes Of voters. Now, it generally hap
pens that the lady OF the house" is the one

makes this speech. presenting the photo

one of his photographs and says IL there
are any men folks here who vote ask them
please II they won't vote for him That
may not be the way Mr.. Benson trained
the boys to talk, and It is not exactly the
way one little fellow did talk Forgetting
the last part of the speech he exclaimed,
with considerable stammering, as he handed
the photo to the woman who answered his
ring at the door: Mr.. Benson says here
is that photograph you asked him for and
he-er-er-r, he would like to have one of
yours"
Now. it Just so happened that the male
head of that household was at home lie
was sitting in the room where he could
not help but overhear the little chap. The
wife returned to the room where her hus-

SALOON HEARING IS BEGUN
Finally Gets Into Court and is Once
More Postponed.
RIGHT OF APPEAL is QUESTIONED
Breen Denies Thomas Power aud
Latter Claims IL on Grounds
the Board Had Been
RcmisS.

The hearing before Judge Kennedy on the
motion for an order to require the fire and
police board to cancel the licenses of GER
tain saloon keepers for alleged violations
Of the Sunday closing law took up the
forenoon session of the court Wednesday
and at noon was continued until Friday
morning at $3.50 Judge Kennedy has an
other case on and he did not care to break
into 1t any further, and as 1t will require
all day Thursday TO finish that case, it was
agreed to let the saloon matter go over d
day and a half.
The principal question discussed by the
attorneys was whether or not Elmer r.
Thomas had lost his right to appeal. be-
cause sixty days has elapsed between the
action Of the board and the filing of tine
transcripts.
City Attorney Breen for the board con-
tended the right of appeal had been
forfeited. He said no demand had been
made on the board for the transcripts OF
the proceedings in the five cases involved
in this hearing or they would have been
furnished The only demand, he said, was
for transcripts including the evidence
taken by the board in the 100 cases. To
have furnished these, he said, would have
cost the board S5,112 and transcripts FOR
the pleadings alone would have cost s425
AS no money is available for this purpose
he did not think the board could be re-
quired to furnish the transcripts. Not
withstanding a lack of funds he said If
the demand had been for only few
transcripts, which might have been fur
nished without extra labor, the demand
would have been complied with.
Barred by the Board.
To this Mr.. Thomas retorted somewhat
holly that the board would not even let
him look at the papers without paying for
them.
your board is not going to give any
thing out that would injure a saloon
keeper" he said.
Mr.. Breen said q mandamus case in
voving the same question was before
Judge Sutton. and he did not think Mr.
Thomas ought to have the right to go
into other courts to secure the same
order.
Mr.. Thomas declared the mandamus case
before Judge Sutton had not been finally
heard because Mr. Breen could not be
induced to set a time for the final hearing
He said the present motion was made
in order to expedite matters and cause
the cancellation of the licenses of saloon
law, pending an appeal to the supreme
court. This, he said, would take year
or two and would be of no value because
the licenses would expire before a de-
cision could be had.
He contended the board had been remiss
in not furnishing him with transcripts
and for this reason he had not lost :he
right of appeal. He charged the board,
the chief of police and the mayor with
being determined to prevent the enforce
! ment of the Slocumb law and said a few
! Sundays ago he had seen four men come
out of the rear door of Joe Wachter' s
saloon while a policeman guarded the front
| door. Mr.. Thomas went on the witness
stand and' offered testimony in support
Of his contention that he had done all he
could do to secure the transcripts for I'M
mediate filing.

NINE KILLED AND FORTY INJURED
Mysterious Explosion on Vessel at
Liverpool.

Liverpool, (By Cable).-Nine meu
were instantly killed and about 40 werA
wounded as the result of terrific ex-
plosion on the British steamer Haver-
ford, of the International Navigation
Company. The vessel is commanded by
Captain Nelson, arrived here Wednes-
day from Philadelphia, landed her pass
engers and proceeded to Husklsson
Dock in order to unload. The stevedores
were in the act of looseing the steamers
matches when suddenly a violent explo-
sion occurred
1t blew off the matches, rent the decks
and hurled dead and wounded men in
all directions Several bodies were dis
membered and the deck resembled the
floor of charnel-house. The cause OF
the eplosion is a mystery. Much excite
ment was caused by a report that an in
fernal machine concealed on the vessel
had exploded Fire followed the ex-
plosion. The cargo, consisting of linseed
oil cake, in hold No. and hold No. 3,
was soon blazing fercely
Firenen and policemen hurried to the
spot, and the injured were quickly taken
to a neighboring hospital, while the
work of searching for further possible
casualties proceeded with vigor, in spite
of the ferceness of the fire, which soon
assumed alarming proportions, owing te
the inhammable nature of the cargo
After two hours hard fight, however.
the 6remen obtained the mastery OF the
flames.
The report that the explosion was due
to an internal machine arose from the
finding of wooden box foot square
in one of the holds. This box, which
was only partly shattered, still contained
pieces of steel machinery. 1t was promi
nently marked, For Manchester, Eng.
The officials of the International Navl
cation Company have taken charge OF
the box, but they do not attach much
importance to the theory of foul play
and say that the presence of the box in
the hold was mere accident. The Of
ficials say they believe the explosion was
due barrel of naptha and the ignition
of gas given off by naptha soap, which
formed part of the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond the rents in the
deck, but inside the damage is extensive.
both by the explosion and the fire.
Manager Willett, of the International
Line, after making an examination of the
holds accompanied by an analytical chem
ist, said that at present is was impossible
to state definitely the cause of the dis
aster. No explosives of any kind were
on board, so far as known. The holds,
however, will be kept just as they were
left after the explosion until the arrival
Of an inspector of explosives from the
home office, when Il Borough expert in
vestigation will be made, and it is hoped
to determine the cause of the explosion.
Several victims of the disaster are I'M
recognizable.

GREAT CHESS
EXPERT DEAD
\. Nelson Pillsbury Succumbs to Stroke
Of ApOplexy.
LONG ILLNESS ENDS in HIS DEATH.
PiIsbury's Career Of Almost Unbroken Triumph
and His Wonderful Feats Of Bllndfold
Chsss-A Massachusetts Boy Who Was
q Master Of Chess When Only Sixteen
Years O:d,

Philadelphia SpeciaD-Harry Nelson
Pillsbury, the chess master, died here
of 'apoplexy after an illness Of many
months. Pillsbury was born December
5, 1879, at Somerville, Mass, where the
body will be taken.
Pillsbury learned the rudiments OF
chess when he was Io years old, at the
Deschapelles Chess Club, in Boston. His
first notable victory was score of to
in match with John F. Barry, of
Boston, in 1891. In 1893 he won the
New York City tournament, with score
of seven, out of possible nine, and in
1895 won first prize at the Hastings
tournament against many of the strong
est players of the world This victory
logically made him one of the quartet of
the most famous players named to COM
pete at ST. Petersburg-Lasker, Steinitz.
Tchigorin and Pillsbury. His score with
the world champion Lasker was 3N to
III.
In 1897 Pillsbury won from Showalter
the American chess championship, which
he confirmed by a second match with
Showalter in 1893.
In all Pillsbury played in IA interna-
tional chess tournaments, and was
prize-winner in all, except at Cambridge
Springs, Pa, in 1904, when he was i'll.
Pillsbury showed his chess genius not
alone by match and tournament play.
At blindfold chess, it is said, his record
has never been equalled. At Moscow
he played az games without sight of the
boards, and at Philadelphia 20 games,
which feat he repeated at Vienna.
