 April 16, 1906 At the annual meeting of the Parish of Trinity Church, in New Haven, held Easter Monday, the following resolu- tions on the death of Charles Emmett Graves were adopted b.! q. rising vote:
 The 1-tr1sh of Trinity Church have heard with deep regret of the death or Charles Emmett Graves. IL. D., at Dansville, New York, on April 12, 1908, In the 18th year of his age, A grad uate of Trinity College, connected with the New Haven hospital and the civic affairs of this community for many years, elected vestryman of this par ish in 1870. and it's senior warden In 1894, delegate to our diocesan con vention for twenty-five years, and more than once a member of the general con- vention of the church, his death leaves q void in the Church. and in this par- ish particularly, which It Will De nara to fill.
 Brought up in the Church, during his whole fife he devoted his brilliant gifts of mind in promoting it's welfare. He was broad churchman in the sense that he could see beyond the limits Of his parish and diocese, and took in the Church as a whole, and high church. man in the sense that he believed In all the observances of the eanons and usages of that body of which from his youth he was a consistent communi- cant, This parish pre-e Aiinently owes MT. Graves a debt of gratitude for the study, thought and ability he gave freely to it when it's old leases ran out, shortly after he became member of the vestry, and he more than any other man deserves the credit for the leases which Trinity parish now enjoys, for they were the product of his brain and endeayor. He had a conservative and extremely logical intellect, but his con servatism never prevented him from yielding when better plan could be suggested. He never had the slightest feeling whenever (which seldom occur red) other plans were adopted, but brought to the execution of them the same magnificent intellect which he displayed in formulating his own.
 Respected by the community in which he lived, beloved by this parish, and in full enjoyment of all his mental faculties. he has passed from the church militant. which he served so long and we'll, into the church expect ant. there to await the final consum- nation of the church triumphant.
 VOTED That these minutes be spread upon our records, and an en- grossed copy be sent to the family of Mir. Graves, and given to the daily press and the Churchman for publica- ton.

The decision of the supreme court of the United States Monday, in which i. is held that a divorce granted in a state in which the defendant in the case is not resident, Is void, has set many lawyers in New Haven a-guess- ing, but they are not willing to ex- press views on the case except condi- tionally till they have read the full opinion of the highest court,
 It is believed that in any event the decision is to cause lot of grief in many New Haven and Connecticut families and incidentally 1t Is bound to increase the duties of the lawyers who will be asked to furnish path by which the illegality in the matter of divorce and renarriage can be undone.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
REV. DIR. NEWMAN SMYTH'S
 ATTITUDE.

Not in Favor of Socialistic Sunday
 --The Liberalized New England Sum
 day-YaIe Authorities Have Given No
 Authority for WooIsey Hall Sunday
 Meetings Next Fall.
 Rev. Dr. smyth, pastor of Center church and member of Yale corpora ton, gave out the following yesterday:
 In reply to numerous inquiries from newspaper correspondents I would state that the ministers have found it necessary to give no reports of discuss sions among themselves to the press, except as they authorize their secretary to do so. Experience has taught us the necessity of caution in this respect; otherwise l think none of us should wish to be held responsible for any damage which might fall upon the pub lie, if by our inadvertence we should give occasion for sudden and copious precipitations through the editorial col- umns of the Register.
 Tn regard to the Woolsey hall meet ings, although my own name has been somewhat freely used in the newspa- pers in relation to them, I have not as yet seen occasion for any public express sion of my own opinions. Happily per- haps for our common good feeling, it will be now unnecessary for any of us to discuss the programme proposed for a possible series of such meetings, be- cause, as I am informed, no authority nas been given by Yale university for Isuoh a series of meetings next fall. That question, which is only inciden- | tai, being out of the way, the clergy may possibly feel less embarrassed in meeting squarely the whole Sunday question, which presents many aspects for serious consideration, The tenden- cy to use Sunday as convenient day for holding public meetings of all kinds,
 for the consideration of anything and
 everything, except religion, certainly raises a question of large relations and far-reaching consequences.
 In the dreams of some of the earlier socialists day like Sunday perhaps 
 one day in ten-was to be provided, and on it tke whole educational plant of the
 cooperative society was to be used to its fullest eapacity-lecture halls, music halls, theaters and everything else im- aginable. This was to be day of the highest civic betterment, On the other hand, Is the liberalized New England
 Sunday, as public sentiment now gen.
 erally recognizes the broad line of dis tinction between other days of the
 week and Sunday, as the day for rest and worship, cannot, of course, enter into full discussion of this large Sun day question in a brief newspaper in terview. I would only say that, on the bother hand, should wish to maintain a large charity and tolerance for individ- ual liberty and judgment, so far as that | is consistent with that decent regard for the rights and sentiments o. others
 which is an essential part of civic good neighborliness. On the other hand,
 should certainly decline to approve any public approaches towards a socialistic Sunday"

MEMORANDUM.
without expressing assent to or dissent
from the proposition ably set forth in
the note of the Argentine minister OF
foreign relations dated December 20. 1902,
the general position of the government
of the United States in the matter Is IN
dicated in recent messages of the Presi-
dent.
The President declared in his message
to Congress, December 3, 1901 that by
the Monroe doctrine I'VE do not guar
antee any state against punishment IL
It msconducts itself provided that pun
ishment does not take the form of the
acquisition of territory by any non-Amer-
lean power"
In harmony with the foregoing language
the President announced in his message of
December 2, 1902:
mo independent nation in America
need have the slightest fear of agrees
sion from the United States. 1t behooves
each one to maintain order within Its
own borders and to discharge its just
obligations to foreigners When this is
done they can rest assured that. be they
strong or weak, they have nothing to
dread from outside interference"
Advocating and adhering in practice in
question concerning itself to the resort
of international arbitration in settlement
of controversies not adjustable by the
orderly treatment of diplomatic negotia-
tions the government of the United States
would always be glad to see the ques-
lions of the justice of claims by one
state against another growing out or
individual wrongs or national obligations,
as well as the guarantees for the exeeu-
ton of whatever award may be made,
left to the decision of an impartial ar
bitra1 tribunal before which the litiga-
ting nations, weak and strong alike. may
stand as equals in the eye of interna-
tional law and mutual duty.

to use any degree of force; a bitter con-
test ensued in the secrecy of the COM
mittee room; in this case the diplomatic
room at the state department, and fin
ally a compromise was reached by the
insertion Of the words whether, and If
at all" just after the word consider
in the original article.
But some of the South Americans are
still of the opinion that this question
should not be permitted to come before
The Hague tribunal In any shape SO a
spirited contest Is probable as the Rio
conference discusses this proposition. In
fact DR.. Drago. the putadive author Of
the doctrine bearing his name, refused
to represent his government in the con-
ference, because It was proposed TO sub
NIT this American doctrine to The Hague
