ADOPT RIGID RULE.
Preachers Refuse to Marry Divorced
Persons Without Investigation.

CHICAGO. June 11.-Methodist preach
ers Of Chicago have agreed that here
after they will not marry divorced per-
sons who refuse to grant ten days for the
examination Of their records The preach
ers believe that this precau':on will tend
to lessen the number of divorces.
This was decided on yesterday after
the Rev. Francis Minor Moody of San
Francisco. field secretary of the California
state commission of marriage and divorce
had told the clergymen that 100000
divorces have been granted in the United
States in the last year. this being seven
times as many Is were granted in Europe
Divorce since 1870 has increased three
and a half times as rapidly as the popu-
lation, said Mr.. Moody.
"vigo county. Indiana. holds the divorce
record. having more separations on its
books than Reno. New. Illinois is worse
than South Dakota anu California Is the
worst state in the Union," he said.

REPORTS CANAL BILL
Senate Committee Favors
Measure to Open Waterway.
SOME CHANGES ARE MADE
Coastwise Vessels Exempted From
Tolls, But Restrictions Are
Placed on Railroads.

The Senate committee on interoceanie
canals today favorably reported the
House bill to open. protect and operate
the Panama canal and to govern the
Canal Zone. The bill retains the Hous,
provision exempting coastwise vessel:
from canal tolls and embodies an amend
| ment strictly regulating railroad-owne
vessels
The bill will be brought up soon in the
Senate and its changes then adjusted In
conference between the two houses. The
purpose is to press 1t so as to provide a.
speedily as possible the working machin.
cry for the canal government
The Senate amended the House measure
SO as to provide that no ship owned
chartered. operated or contro led by a
railroad or In which any railroad has any
interest whatever through any no ding
common or otherwise, shall be permitted
to enter or pass through the Panama
canal II ENGAGED In the coastwise trade
between United States ports.
Where Restriction Is Removed.
Any ship of American registry. how
ever. owned or controlled would be per-
mitteu to operate through the canal in
transoceanic trade to and from oriental
or European countries and on its way
may do a coastwise trade between ports
of the United States and intermediate
foreign ports.
This privilege, however. will not be
permitted to any ship owned or con-
trolled wholly or partly by any railroad.
except those in transoceanic trade.
The coastwise trade to be allowed such
vessels will be strictly to or from trans
oceanic ports. and not to ports of Can
ada. Mexico or Central and South Amer
lea. The committee added an additional
restriction to protect coastwise traffic
by requiring that a railroad-owned ship
passing through the cana. must have at
least SO per cent of its cargo destined to
a tranSocean port.
Committee Changes House Bill.
The Senate committee changed the
House bill SO that when the President
prescribes the canal tolls they shall not
be changed except after six months no.
tice by presidential proclamation and nc
tolls may be levied on vessels of Amer
lean registry in foreign trade f the own
ers agree to their government use In wal
or other pubic emergencies on payment
of far actual value.
The committee struck out the House
plan that the President should provide
a method of determining and adjusting
personal injury claims and substituted old
laws relating to compensation for in
juries to canal workmen and other federal
employees. The bill authorizes the Presi-
dent to enter into operating agreements
or leases with any private wireless COM
panies to insure freedom from in.erfer-
Ience with government wireless telegraphy
Most of the House bill was adopted In
tact.
