SEEK NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.
Vote In Presbyterian Assembly Pre-
vented by Yonkers Man.

CHICAGO, May 22.-An appeal TO Con.
gress for the enactment OF a law regulat.
ing divorce may be made by the 126th
General Assembly OF the Presbyterian
Church as a result of action taken to-
day at the second days session. The
plan was suggested by the Rev. A. NJ
Eells OF Cairo, ILL.,. who said that the only
adequate solution OF the divorce evil Is
through Congress legislation.
A vote on the recommendation wa
deferred because of opposition OF Gen
Ralph T.. Prime OF Yonkers. " Y, who
charged that Il would be futile "to seek
relief from a body which has created
such rotten conditions at Washington"
II come from one OF the cleanest States
In the Union. so far as the divorce evil
is concerned" said Gen. Prime. "If you
appeal 10 Congress for relief you will
never get what Is wanted out here IN
these Western wilds. You will be ap.
pealing to a body composed chiefly o.
representatives OF States filled with rot
ten boroughs"
Mr. Eells pointed out that the law
IN Illinois prohibiting divorced persons
from remarrving within one year is being
fagrantlv disregarded At the couclu.
son OF the debate DR.. Maitland Alexande-,
the Moderator. announced that the sun.
iect would get further consideration
fore the close OF the Assembly.
The following recommendatio by IN
special committee on Christian life AND
work were referred back TO that bod
for further consideration:

where the application is TO he on
tered.

fore II shall take effect.
When persons leave their HON"
state 20 evade its divorce laws and
contract a marriage In another Statc
this marriage shall be declared void
IN the State In which they resided
DR.. s. c. Niccolls of St Louis asserted
that II the Presbyterian Church approv'd
the first two recommendations II would
sanction a standard "of convenience AM
not sanctity."
President Wilson was criticised by he
Rev. Henry C. Minton OF Trenton, y y,
who said that when Governor of New
Jersey he said be believed Il "a rreat
gain that the official direction OF student
religious life had ceased at Princeton and
that the initiative Is now In the hands
of the student body"

speaking in behalf OF the I. w. w. to
the United States Commission on In

mistaken. In a civilized community
relations are so interviewer that all have
an interest in everything. What en-

struction Of the employers property d.
