A CONGRESS on uniform divorce
laws, which has just concluded its
sessions in Washington, recognized
the evil Of the divorce which is OBJ
tanned in some States, where the laws
are what is termed liberal, by a person
who moves from another State to OBJ
tain transient residence for the sole
purpose Of getting divorce. This is
what is known as the migratory di-
vorce evil. and the term is an excell-
ent one. The congress urged that
each State should adopt statute em-
bodying the principle contained in
the Massachusetts, act, which makes a
divorce obtained in this way as of no
force and effect in the Bay State. In
the opinion Of the delegates this was
the most important action taken by
the congress. 1t certainly is aimed at
one of the greatest scandals in con-
nection with this whole question, and
one which probably did more to bring
about the conference concerning uni-
form divorce laws than any other,

THERE has never been in the history
Of the State more concerted action
in regard to the regulation Of the
iiquor traffic than is manifested at
present. The local option bill received
the endorsement of nearly all the
Protestant Churches of the State, and
many citizens, who have heretofore
held aloof from temperance agitation
are helping in this cause because they
feel that the traffic with its attendant
expense and nuisance to the commun-
ity should be abolished if the people SO
desire. What is called the bishops
Bill'' to more stringently regulate the
liquor traffic is being vigorously sup
ported by the Catholic Church in the
State, and by many influential citizens
who do not desire to entirely prohibit
the traffic. The bill will, if passed, do
away with much Of the present evil
effects of the sale of liquors as itlimits
the places, opens drinking bars to pub
lie view, and especially takes care Of
the children. The Catholic clergy VINO
come closely in contact with the
working men and their families know
more Of the evils resulting from drink
ing than most people, and their efforts
to abate them should have the hearty
support of all good citizens. The
liquor sellers are making the fight of
their lives, but the Legislators should
remember that they and their patrons
are small minority Of the voters.

THERE is a decided tendency to-
ward increasing the salaries Of State
officers that is keeping pace with the
movement in labor circles, and ahead
Of the increased cost Of living. The
Senate has passed, by bare majority
vote, the Wakelee bill increasing the
salaries Of the circuit Court Judges
from $500 to $4,000 a year, The reyo-
cation of railroad passes was given as
a reason for asking for the advance.
If any Circuit Judge in New Jersey
spends 81, 800 year for travelling ex-
penses, he should be anchored at a
convenient point and let litigants be
summoned to meet him there, says

EQUAL TAXATION.

Interesting in connection with the
discussion Of equal taxation, is the
statement made before the State
Board Of Equalization Of Taxes, at
Newark on last Wednesday. by George
Holmes, counsel for the Central Rail-
road Company Of New Jersey. Nj.
Holmes said that his company had
paid 81, 500 per acre for meadow lands
that were assessed at but S9S an acre,
and short time before the transfer
was made the former owner had pro-
tested to the local assessor that 1913
an acre was too high valuation
Another statement made by Mr..
Holmes was that eight acres Of land
that had cost his company 1872, 600,
had been assessed at $500 and the
local assessor admitted that he had
heard that the property had been Of
fered to another purchase for 500, 0Oo
when he valued it at s12,5o0 There
is plenty Of work ahead for the Equal
ization Board, and also for the courts,
before the people get equal taxation

THE business men of MorristOwu
have reached the conclusion that if the
trade conditions Of MorriStown are to
be improved the result must be Sc
cured by concerted effort on their part.
In these days of fierce composition in
all lines of business cooperation of
citizens is necessary if a town expects
to hold its own much more so If it IS
expected to grow. AS was said at the
business mems meeting Morristown
for years has lived too much on its
past history. For years we have gone
ahead looking backward until we have
been surpassed by towns all about US,
and for score Of years and more the
only work Of public improvement has
been the putting down Of concrete
walk on two sides of the Green and
this through the untiring efforts Of a
naturalized citizen There has been a
decided change in sentiment regarding
some things In Morristown within q
few years. 1t has become perfectly
plain to most people that it is more
costly to ignore the sewer question
than it would be to put in an ade-
ouate plant; the automobile people
| have done successful missionary work
| for the trolleys, as many people who
we're fond of driving are now afraid to
ride in carriage and favor the troll
! lev so that they can get about safely;
the new railroads have made factories
practicable, while the buyers who come
| in from Whippany Saturday nights are
an indicationof what might be expect
! ed if the number was largely increased.
/ Although conditions have changed
this will not Of itself bring the desired
results.

IT is a matter Of congratulation for
the citizens Of Morristown that while
the incoming Board Of Aldermen finds
that the town is short Of about every
thing from fire hose to street hoes,
there is also no sign Of graft. M
one seems to have used his Office to
buy goods to favor his friends or re,
ceiye commissions. There is reason
and demand for spending money fol
necessities, which should include a
good steam roller and enough hose K

general after sentence, and signed by
Judge Lindsay on the day after.
Milverton declared that this state
ment was utterly false, and that Lind
say had signed the judgment on the
same day as the sentence. Humphreys
offered to prove that there had been no
adjudication that Amin was guilty of
contempt, before the sentence, and
therefore nothing on which to predicate
a Science. Stenographer Bell, Thomp-
son, Whiting and Humphreys were
sworn in turn and testified that Judge
Lindsay had never adjudged Amin
guilty but had simply sentenced him
G.. F. Henshall and H. w. Kinney were
called IS witnesses to the same effect,
but their evidence being merely cumu-
lative their testimony was not taken.
The Supreme Court sent for Lindsay
and he testified that he had no inde-
pendent recollection of saying more
than the record, as given by Bell, show
ed.
The testimony all went in subject
to the objection that the record, which
shows a judgment, could not be at
tackled, the court having intimated that
no attack on the record could be made.
Humphreys argued for the petitioner,
and is to be followed by Thompson. The
court stated that it did not care to hear
from the attorney general except on
one point, and that helated to the ques-
ton of a judgment preceding the SEN
tence. The hearing is being continued
this afternoon.
In the event of the decision being
against Amin, it is said that his at
torneys will apply to United States
Judge Dole for a writ of habeas corpus
and If he agrees with the Territorial
courts, an appeal to the Supreme court
of the United States may follow.
The Hawaiian star., 1906-02-07

The attorneys for Y. Amin state that
his case will be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States if necessary
before he will either submit to con-
tempt sentence or agree to answer the
question which was put to him by the
Grand jury and which he refused to
answer. Another attorney has been
added to Humphreys, Whiting and
Thompson, ex-Judge George d. Gear
is now additional counsel for Amin. The
case occupied all this morning in the
Supreme Court with the result that by
noon the chances of Amin going back to
Jail before night appeared to be excel
lent, for the court had intimated it's
ruling against all the points raised in
his favor, with one exception, and that
point was one which is regarded as
very doubtfully effective.
High Sheriff Henry, by Deputy Attor-
ney General Milverton, made a return
to the habeas corpus writ setting forth
the judgment and mittimus under
which Amin was detained, and the She
riff appeared personally in court. 1t
was explained that the reason he did
not obey the writ and bring the body
of Amin was that the latter was out
on bail. Amin, however, attended the
hearing, with a number of Chinese
friends.
Judge Humphreys stated to the court
that his chient petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was based on the
grounds that there was no judgment on
which to base a sentence for contempt,
that the defendant had a constitutional
right to refuse to answer the Grand
jury's question, and that the question
was immaterial. Humphreys said that
the judgment against Amin had been
written out by the deputy attorney

A brief which reads like the pages

CHE IA
GAMES
kept UP
EVEN THE SENSATIONAL GRAND
JURY INVESTIGATION HAS NOT
STOPPED THE DRAWINGS.

Che ia has not been stopped by the
Grand jury investigation of the game
and it's leaders. In fact through all
the Investigations and the court pro-
ceedings against Y. Amin, reputed boss
of the game here, the drawings have
gone on just the same, and yesterday
afternoon when Amin was temporarily
in Jail, the usual drawing is said to
have taken place. The Grand jury is
carrying on a very energetic campaign
against it, and is believed to have Sc
cured much valuable evidence, but the
players go on in spite of all.
Yesterday afternoons drawing is said
to have been had as usual, the result
being announced shortly after five
o'clock. The winning word is said to
have been a Hawaiian word meaning
ocean" and those who played ocean"
are reported to have drawn down win
nings. 1t evidently takes more than
Grand jury investigation to stop che
fa, even if the leaders are drawn into
the net
