DRAFT UNIFORM
DIVORCE LAWS
lconllnued From FIrst 80

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE
National Congress on Uniform Divorce
Laws. in session IN this city has adopt
ed about one-third Of the proposed
uniform bill as drafted by the com
mittee appointed at the meeting he'd
In Washington nine months ago. The
portions adopted include seven causes
under which annulment Of marriage
may be obtained and six causes~Aor
absolute divorce.
Delegates fro twenty-seven States
and the District Of Columbia and rep
resentatives OF all Protestant denomi-
nations who attended The international
Conference on Marriage, together with
the Catholic Prelate, Bishop Shan,ey,
Of North Dakota, attended the ses-
sions which were presided over by
Governor Pennypacker
The important changes i'm the bin are
the striking out Of an reference to pro-
ceedlngs and practice. leaving the
question for the various legislative
bodie TO pass on.
The cause for which divorce can be
granted are inhdelity, feony. bigamy,
desertion, habitual drunkenness and in
tolerable cruelty, and the discussions
OF the various sections there was lit
tie opposition to any Of these provi-
sions, but I'm the list OF causes for an
nulment Of marriage opposition was
presented againstseveral
Governor Pennypacker took excep-
tions 10 the clause which provides that
II either party unknown TO the other
was insane at thet ime Of the marriage.
II should be annuled. The Governor
held that the clause gave not only the
game party but also committee Of the
lunatic the right to begin suit. This
would give "a commission appointed by
the court a right TO begin a suit I'm the
name Of an insane party, even II the
person not insane did not want divorce
He argued that marriage was per-
sonal relation. and third person had
no rights In the contract.
Seneca n. Taylor, of ST. Louis, and
G. La Rue Munson. OF Williamsport
Pa. clased with the Governor on the
subject Mr.. Taylor said the public Is
third party. and 10 has the right to
forbid the propagation Of children from
tho insane. The question of property
rights also, he held, was involved.
Mr. Munson said the clause was the
against a designing man or woman.
fIc cited a case where relatives and
friends were helpless 70 protect an ini-
becile who had married a designing
woman. Tho clause was adopted.
There was also opposition to the
clause annulinF the marriage OF girl
under the age OF sixteen years and a
youth under eighteen years. Erneat
Mcrten. OF Wisconsin. held that a girl
under eighteen years was Incapable OF
making a proper marriage contract
and Frank II. Kerr. OF Ohio. favored
the law Of his state which makes the
marriage Of a boy under twenty-one
years and a girl under eighteen years
void. Miss Rachael Siegel. of Utah,
the only woman speaker, held that six
teen years for the girl was all right
She said I'VE women ought to know"
The clause was adopted.
