Penny- packer, of Pennsylvania, Begins in ' Earnest Today the Discussion of Ways ' And Means for Making Divorce Laws of States More Uni- form. . . -. ' WASHINGTON". Feb ,19. This is the day set for the formal opening of the Divorce Congress which was call cdj by Governor I'enuypacker, of Penn sylvanin, to consider the problem of uniforming the divorce laws of the dlfforent states of the Union. ' The delegates or commissioners appoint ed by the governors of the different states,-or, at least, a great portion of them, assembled last week and held a number of preliminary consultations irf "which Jfiey exchanged views oa the subject and compared notes in regard to the dlvorco laws in force In their respective states. South Carolina is the only state not represented' by commissioners. Th reason given by the governor of that State for not appointing commlssslon ers to the conference was that such appointment would be unnecessary, as the State of South Carolina baa no dl vorce laws.' Governor Pennypacker, the prime mover of the conference, will preside at the formal meetings of the confer ence. He Is by far the most promi nent figure of the conference and, sup ported by the other representatives of Pennsylvania, C' I.a Rue Muson, of .Willlamsport, Walter George Smitli and Wm, H. Staake, of Philadelphia, he will undoubtedly take the lead In the deliberations and discussions of the conference. It. is expetted that the conference will lead to important results and will, eventually, bring about greater unl formity iu the divorce laws of the dif ferent states. The present 'condition Is so perplexing and undesirable that every improvement will be warmly welcomed. Even In the states where there Is the greatest laxity in regard to divorce laws, the people are being nrng to see the evils of the existing comtttions and clamor for u change. Ynrriages enacted in one state are un lawful in another, while divorces ob tained in oiie state are not recognized In others. The greatest difficulty lrt unlformingi the Uws of the various states' seems to be the peculiarity of existing conditions in some states and which materially differ from the conditions exitngjij others. ,, Another matter which promises to he a great stumbling' block is the position taken by the laws of certain states in regard to inter-racial marriages between the whites and blacks. . Conservative members of the con ference do not believe that the pres ent conference will be able to agree on any definite basis for uniform di vorce laws, but are Inclined to believe that the best to be accomplished at this time is to discuss the various phases and features of the laws in the different states, point out existing de fects and leave it to a committee to work out a draft of laws, to be con sidered -by some future conference and if approved to be submitted for ap proval to the, legislative bodies of the various states. It s doubtful that an effort will be made to have a national livorce law Introduced In Congress, as this might raise the question of consti tutionality, , CHURCH CLUB DINNER. An Important Occasion in New York City Tonight. ' . NEW YORK. Feb.'l5. It Is expected- that the attitude of the laymen of the Episcopal church on- the necessity for moral readjustment In official and business circles will be made clear In the discussions, arranged for the dinner of the Church Club which will be held at Delmonlco's this evening. There was some criticism on the fact that the September convention of the f'iocese af New York failed to pass the resolutions condemning the meth ods pi "high finance" as revealed last year, which were offered by the Rev. John Marshall Chew. It is ex pected that the matter will be thor oughly discussed at the dinner this evening. The general topic will "bo "The Responsibilities of Laymen." Af ter introductory remarks by Bishop Coadjutor Greer the topic of the even ing will be discussed according to the various phases and applications of the subject. Among those who will take part in the discussions will ba the Rev. Dr. E. Peabody, the Rev. W. -i Grosvenor, ex-Mayor Seth Low and Georjre Wharton Pepper. George M. Miller will preside. BRYAN ON TAINTED MONEY. In Lecture Ha Gives His Views On This Question. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1G.' Before leaving , Manila William ' Jennings Bryan preached a sermon' with a care fully chosen text add other formali ties delivered , by clergymen. Hi theme w as "Prince of Peace.". "A review of. the. election returns has satisfied me." he explained to a large audience that had gathered to hear him deliver the lecture, ''that my political addresses Have not met with favor at, the hands of the public." As religion was of common interest, he said he hnd Concluded to try his hand at that. In the course of his remarks, according to mall advices from Manila he spoke of the peace to be found in power in position and In wealth. "Some men in our . country have reached the point," said he, "where they cannot get people to take their money. I am glad to say that there "are people In the United States who have reached1 the point where they will not. accept, money with blood upon it." Those remarks are taken to explain Bryan's resignation, forwarded from Kong Kc.ig, from the board of trus tees of the Illinois college at Jackson ville, IU., because the board favored acceptance of money from Carnegie and other trust owners. "There will be universal peace," he told his audience, "when we learn to measure life not by what we get out of it, but by the good we may do. No platform was ever writtea which can touch that of the Prince of - Peace, 'Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy sell' Appreciation of this only means a just solution of the public question today." . -. ' . During his visit to the islands Bryan visited fort Wm. McKiuley, the" big army post near Manila, and insisted on shaking hands with all the boys from his state. Nebraska. There were nearly one hundred of them. A BIG ADDITION. Will Be Extended on South Side to First Street. Excavation Work Now Being Done.
