To Discuss Divorce Legislation.

New York, Aug. 21.-In response
to queries sent from New York to the
Governor Of every State in the I'm
ion, asking their views on the desir-
ability Of uniform divorce legislation,
23 Governors have replied, declaring
themselves in favor Of uniformity,
either by Federal enactment or by
genearl agreement upon statute to
be adopted by the various Legisla-
lures. The question will be thor
oughly discussed at the coming con-
ference Of Governors in Spring Lake,
New Jersey.
Four Governors who could not be
reached while on vacation trips were
said by their friends to be in favor
of uniform divorce legislation. Gov
ernor Hadley, Of Missouri, and Hoke
Smith, Of Georgia, declined to express
their opinions.
In stating their views many Of the
Governors declare that for legal rea-
sons Federal law would be inadvis-
able. 1t is also maintained that
while the divorce laws in some
States are too lax, they are too severe
in others. The moral welfare OF the
whole country, 1t is indicated, will
be served best by broad, common
sense regulation of the marriage con-
tract

Extra Session Adjourned ut 3 O'clock
Yesterday Afternoon.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The ordi-
nary session Of the Sixty-Second Con-
gress the most active in many
years, closed at 3 o'clock this after

receipt Of the Presidents veto Of the
cotton tariff revision bill The House
already had created a committee to

was ready to adjourn and the Senate
did likewise. ..

the vetoed bill, was referred to the
House ways and means committee.
Then the House marked time until
the fixed hour Of adjournment.
The last session Of the Presidents

TAFT WILL DEMAND REVISION.
President Will Probably Ask for
General Revision in December.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 21.-
President Taft plans to rehabilitate
himself in the popular esteem and in
cidentally put the Democrats "in a
hole by demanding a general revis-
ion Of the tariff at the regular ses-
sion of Congress that convenes in
December.
There are many Republicans and
some Democrats who believe that the
President really occupies the position
OF vantage as result of the dOings
OF the extra session, despite the
popular impression that he has weak
ened himself through his veto Of the
wool and free list bills. Mr.. Taft
himself Is said to believe that he
holds the trump card, and will play
1t at the beginning Of the next ses-
sion Of Congress.
The tariff board will be ready with
its report next December, and Mr.
TAFT Will be fortified with all the in
formation 1t has gathered concerning
me several schedules of the Payne
Aldrich bill. This information, 1t is
conceded, will develop many ineuual-
tiles In the present law and will af-
ford the President an excuse for rec
ommending general revision Of the
tariff. The data gathered by the
board VIII enable him to make de-
tailed recommendations to Congress
concerning what he believes the du
ties should be.
Wool, steel, iron, sugar, cotton and
farm implements are said to be few
of the several tariff schedules the
President will urge the Democrats
to revise along lines to be suggested
by him jn his messages, which will
be supported by his detailed data
gathered by tho tariff board.

100000 STRIKERS RETURN.
Chancellor of EXchctIIcr Prevails on
Union Leaders to Make Peace.

London, Aug. 20.-A tremendous
wave of relief swept over England
last night, when, at II o'clock, an
nouncement was made from the
board Of trade that the railway
strike had been settled and that the
men would return to work immedi-
ately.
kilograms were dispatched to all
important railroad towns bearing the
information and these crossed in
transit messages to London describ-
ing strike riots in L!anelly and
smaller points in the kingdom
The cabinet had been W orking
night and day since thefstfike to ar
credit for the ultimate success of
their efforts appears to rest on the
shoulders of Chancellor Lloyd
George, who, in his statements to
parliament and in an interview with
the managers and the men, WORKED
for conciliation when all others of
the interested parties seemed to have
abandoned hope Of n peaceful settle
ment.
Victory for the Unions.
So far as technical advantage in
the compromise goes, it appears to
be in the mems favor, particularly as
the managers consent to meet their
representatives.
The Official statement concerning
the agreement says the managers
consented to this scheme in favor of
representations made them by the
government, including promise OF
legislation to permit of an increase
in railway rates. The men claim vic
tory for unionism on the point of
recognition of unions.
Conditions Becoming Normal.
London, Aug. 21.-The railroads
were rapidly restoring normal ser
vices to-day, and the managers con-
tidently expected that by evening all
lines would be operating almost as
smoothly as before the general strike
on the roads Of Great Britain was
ordered last Thursday night. There
were some bitches, but these were
believed to be but temporary OBJ
stacles to a formal pact assuring
better working arrangement be-
tween employers and employees, sat-
isfactOry to both sides.
The settlement brought about Sat
urday evening through the good Of
fees Of the government and the
board of trade provided for the ap-
pointment Of sectional Cancellation
boards representing both parties, and
which shall undertake to adjust all
immediate differences. Tomorrow
the membership Of special commit
tee Of inquiry will be announced.
The committee will assume the bur
den of working out permanent
agreement.
The men expect an advance in
wages, concessions regarding the
consideration Of future grievances
and recognition of their unions.
Heretofore the railroad companies
have positively refused to treat with
the representatives OF the unions,
who were not in their own employ.

MOtOrman Killed Boy.

Atlanta, Aug. 19-There is a queer
story behind the killing Of Walter
Lyle, an eighteen-year-old boy, by
Street Car Motorman w. NJ. Mat
thews yesterday. 1t seems that
some weeks ago an aged woman with
a big basket of peaches tried to get
aboard Matthews car and that he
roughly refused TO let her ride, say
ing that the basket was too big. Whe-
ther or not this is true, the boys of
that neighborhood, OF whom Lyle
was one, allege it, and since have
been taunting Motorman Matthews
by yelling peaches" at him when
ever he came to that part Of town.
Finally, goaded to desperation. he
whipped out a revolver and fired into
the crowd.
Another one of the motorman's
shots struck Joe Hart, aged IT, and
inflicted painful wound in his arm.
Matthews will be indicted for mur-
der.
