FOR UNIFORM DIVORCE
Congress Meets In Philadelphia
to Discuss National Sepa-

GROUNDS FOR ACTION NAMED
Bill Gives Six Reasons For Possible
Dissolution of Marriase-Disputes on
insanity Question and Age Of Con-
sent on Woman's Part-sixteen Too
Low, Say Speakers.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14-Several heat
ed discussions marked the opening ses
sion of the national divorce congress.
The congress first met at Washington
nine months ago, and a committee has
since drafted bill on uniform di-
vorce Laws to be presented to the legis-
latures of all the states.
This bill was up for discussion. 1t
names six causes for divorce -infideli-
ty, felony, bigamy, desertion, habitual
drunkenness and intolerable cruelty
Articles relating to the annulment Of
marriage and to divorce from matri-
nony were adopted Absolute divorce
bars to r,,hef and jurisdiction will also
be considered
Governor Pennypacker presided. An
nulment of marriage was taken up
The bone of contention was the clause
which says that insanity of either par
ty, "at the suit of the other or at the
suit of the committee Of the lunatic,
shall be cause for annulment" Wig
orous protests were made against the
insertion Of the clause "at the suit Of
the committee Of the lunatic.'
Pennypaoker Makes Protest.
Governor Pennypacker was vigorous
in his protests. This appears to me, :"
said he, ito be manifestly unfair Lu-
macy Is disease which is durable like
any other disease. Is there anything
to show that man ceases to care for
his wife in the event of her losing her
mind? Is 1t not more often the case
that his affection is strengthened?
why, then, should not the lunatic
be given the chance of being cured?
Suppose a woman goes incane after
marriage and upon regaining her rea-
son flnds that the husband she loves
has been separated from her by the
act of her own committee
Seneca Taylor of Missouri held that
the committee represented the public,
which had right to be very much in
terested in the question of bringing In
to the world children tainted with in
sanity.
The paragraph was finally adopted.
Age of Consent Discussed.
There was also opposition to the
clause annuling the marriage Of girl
under the age Of sixteen or youth
under eighteen. Ernest Merten of Wis
consin held that girl under eighteen
was incapable of making proper mar
riage contract, and Frank 81. Kerr Of
Ohio favored law making the mar
riage of boy under twenty-one and a
girl under eighteen void.
Miss Rachel Siegel Of Utah, the only
woman speaker, held that sixteen years
for the girl was all right.

CONTROLS VESSEL FROM LAND.
Invention of Spanish Engineer Has
Proved Value.

Telekino is the invention OF Don
Bernardo Torres Quevedo, distin-
guished Spanish engineer, who has
been experimenting successfully with
an apparatus for the control of dis
tant electric power by means OF wire
less telegraphy. He intends to apply
his invention to vessels and made his
public trials with them. The trans
mftting station was a wireless tele-
graphic apparatus. The boat carried
battery of accumulators, motor
for driving the propeller, another for
the rudder, and two servo motors for
operating the mechanism of the other
motors. The servo motors were con-
nected directly with the telekino.
wherewith they formed single ap-

currents either to control the
rudder motor or the propeller motor
so as to govern both the steering
and the propulsion of the boat. TAX
ing up his position at the transmitting
station, Senor Quevedo began manipu
lating the transmitter, whereupon the
boat, containing numerous press rep

LAW OFFICER IN JAIL.
District Attorney stideer Of Denver
Committed for Contempt.

Denver.-The News of Sunday
morning says: District Attorney
Stidger spent last night in jail and
will have to stay there until Monday.
He was arrested at o'clock last night
upon an order signed by District
Judge Frank T. Johnson, charging him
with contempt OF court. The order
committed him to the county Jail until
he had paid fine of $500 into the
court treasury. Sheriff Nisbet served
the order. He was accompanied by
his attorneys. Willis Elliott and Rod
ney J. Bardwell. Before acting he
had asked their advice and was told
by them to serve the order, as the only
safe thing to do. They reserved their
judgment on its validity.
The district attorney was given a
cot in the warden's quarters in the
basement of the Jail. He went to bed
about IL o'clock. After he~had been

He had given me no intimation that
he had any intention of bringing snch

District Court
ITO say that was surprised when
he informed me that I was fined for

At the most. any action that / took
was but constructive contempt.
committed no contempt in his pres
ence or before the court. And in cases
of constructive contempt the accused
is entitled to due notice and to trial
by jury. To my mind his action
throughout has been entirely outside
the pale of the law"
The case is the result of an attempt
by Judge Johnson to enforce the laws
against gambling and Sunday liquor
selling. Persons arrested by direction
of Judge Johnson, instead of being
brought before his court, were
taken before Judge Palmers di-
vision of the court by District
Attorney -Stidger, where they prac-
tically escaped punishment Mr.
Stidger claims that his action was in
accordance with rules of the court.
while Judge Johnson holds that the
district attorney was guilty of con-
tempt in removing to another division
of the court cases originating in his
division.
The case will no doubt be carried
to the Supreme Court of the State for
a final decision.

District Attorney ReIeased.

Denver.-George Stidger, district at
torney, was given his liberty Monday
night on writ of habeas corpus issued
from the State Supreme Court. Mr..
Stidger had been held in the county
jail since 10 O'Clock Saturday night on
his failure to pay fine of $500 i'm
posed upon him by Judge Frank t.
Johnson of the District Court because
of the refusal of the prosecuting Off
Ger to file certain information in the
Johnson division, instead of the Grim
inal division where they belonged, un-
der the rule of the District Court itself.
On February Sth, or as soon thereafter
as possible, hearing will be granted
on the return of the writ, at which time
the whole issue will be reviewed and
the position of the district attorney in
relation to the judge of District
Court set forth, as well as some i'm
portant finding regarding contempt of
court.

Deadly Utah snowslides.

Salt Lake=Snowslides in the Wa
satch mountains, east of Salt Lake,
killeu seven men Friday night, six be-
ing lost at Alta, in Little Cottonwood
canon, ard one at the Wyoming mine.
in American Fork canon, on the other
side OF the range. The six men killed
at Alta were in a saloon when the
building was overwhelmed by a terrific
slide which came without warning.
The men now lie buried under
twenty feet of snow and rocks at the
bottom of the gulch. The wet snow
was sufficient to suffocate them in a
few minutes. even if they escaped
death in the crushing of the building
in which they were.
In American Fork canon, George
Tynge, lessee of the Wyoming mine,
was carried away by slide which
came few hours earlier than the one
at Alta. Tynge was in his Office near
the mouth of the mine. The building
was broken into fragments and car
ried away.
In another building which was de
molished by the same slide man
named Kruz was cast to the top of the
slide and rode to the bottom of the
canon without injury further than a
few minor bruises.

MUCH OWED TO PUBLIC PRESS.
One Striking Example of the Value
of Publicity.

If grown men and women are not
to live in a fools paradise; if they
are to know the weaknesses of the
time and how to direct their RENE
dial efforts, they must be kept rea-
sonably well informed of the evil as
well as of the good. Men will always
be found to take desperate chances
with their regulations, but the danger
of being discovered in wrongdoing is
a wholesome restraining influence on
a majority of the race. A concrete
instance of the effectiveness of public
ity is the development of public senti-
ment that has forced the reorganiza.
ton of the big life insurance compan-
les. Had it not been for the news
papers there would have been no in
vestigation and had not the results of
the inquiry been printed there would
have been no overturning. On the
whole, it may fairly be inferred that
human nature is SO constituted as to
gain in wisdom and morality by con-
tact with the world-a contact which
the newspaper supplies.-Kansas City

Mass Meeting at Washington De-
clares These Crimes Must Be
stopped-Terrible Arraignment BY
Representative SuIzer.

Washington.--A mass meeting of
citizens of Washington was held in
Belasco's theater Sunday night to ex-
press sentiments on the atrocities on
the Jews in Russia. The theater was
| crowded. Resolutions which were
adopted endorsed speeches made at
the meeting and denounced these ter
rible atrocities as great crimes against
common humanity that must be
stopped at once, and for all time 10
come by the Russian government"
| Representative William Sulzer pre-
sided. He said:
I'VE have met tonight to protest
against wrongs and conditions and out
RACES in Russia. We arraign the gov
ernment of the Car tonight before the
bar of civilization for great crimes
against common humanity. The civ
ilized world is stunned and shocked
and grIeved by the inhuman barbara
ties and appalling atrocities which
have been going on for the past two
years in Russia.
During this short time ] am reliably
informed by those most competent to
testify, more than 100000 innocent

fensive Lutheran Firms and Iaw-abid-
ing Christian rinenians-helpless and

dren-absolutely guilty of no wrong

lessly and barbarously murdered and
butchered to make a Russian holiday.
There has been nothing like 1t in all
the history of the world. not during the
horrors of the dark ages. All the hor-
rors of the Inquisitions all the bigoted
religious prosecutions of the middle
ages. pale into insignificance.
Official Russia is responsible for
these awful atrocities. / charge on my
responsibility as member of Congress
that 1t is solemnly alleged, and not de-
MED, and there is a widespread and
prevalent feeling throughout the world
that 1t is true, that these terrible
crimes of rapine and pillage and de-
vastation that these brutal atrocities
and that these monstrous murders of
the helpless Jews and Firms and Poles
and Armenians in Russia, are secretly
connived at by the Russian govern
ment. that they have been melted by
the Russian ruling classes-the grand
dukes-and that they are instigated
directly and indirectly, by high officials
n Russia for religious and political
purposes.
II hope what we do here, and what
we say here, will reach the ears of the
cringing Car and his corrupt cabal of
grand dukes. / believe that our pro
test, our condemnation and our denun-
citation will be heard in ST. Petersburg

Growth of Argentine Population.

The reproach sometimes cast upon
South American states. that they are
sparsely settled and growing too slow
ly, is surely not valid against Argen-
tina, according to the latest demo-
graphic reports of that country. At
the end of 1903 the population of Ar
gentina was 5.160.9S6, and at the end
of 1904 it was 5,41O,02S, showing an
increase of 249,O42, or nearly per
cent year. Some of this was, of
course, due to immigration, chiefly
from Italy, but gratifying large part
of it was due to the natural in
crease of population. The number of
marriages increased from 30,351 in
1903 to 33,040 in 1904, the number of
births increased from 177,175 to 1873,
844 and the number of deaths de-
creased from s2,713 to S1,275. That
was certainly an excellent showing.

Worry Has No Par. in Her Life.

Mrs. Fairbanks. wife of the vice
president, declares that she does not
possess nerves and it would seem
that this is no idle boast. Mrs. Fair
banks has an iron endurance and she
attributes her fortitude. mental and
physical, to the fact that she has
never allowed herself to worry over
anything, great or trivial. But she
always secures ample rest, no mat
ter what her engagements. During
the maddening days of the last D. A.
r. congress, when several thousand
women would talk at once on as
many different themes, Mrs. Fair
banks would endure the confusion as
long as possible and then. giving the
gavel to another officer, she would go
to nearby hotel and take a half
hours repose. She always drinks hot
milk when she is going through men
tai or physical fatigue.
