 sion in Washington.

 When inc courts are given cognlzance of suits where the plaintiff was domi- ciled in a foreign jurisdiction at the time the cause of complaint arose, 1t should be insisted that relief will not be given unless the cause of the divorce was in- foreign domicile."
 The section was finally adopted by an overwhelming vote after a compromise amendment offered by o. W. Hart of Louisiana, had been defeated by a vote of 15 to 16 The forces asking the adop- ton of the section were led by Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Michigan, whose efforts were seconded by Dele gates Walcott of Michigan. Leech of West Virginia and Sterling of South Da- kota.
 Regarding the adoption of the first resolution submitted by the committee it was the sense of the congress that a fed eral divorce law was not feasible. The section declaring that each state should adopt Legislation restricting the remedies afforded by it's statutes of divorce to its own citizens, was adopted with some notifications.
