Washington, Feb. 22.—The congress on uniform divorce laws for the sev eral states and territories has ex pressed In favor of all hearings and trials in divorce cases in open court. It was declared that such public hear ings would have a tendency to do away with collusions between parties to the suit for divorce, and that pub licity would tend to decrease applica tions for divorce by people who would shun juch publicity. Other resolutions adopted were: "If conviction of a crime be made a cause " for divorce it should be re quired that such convictions should be followed by two years continuous imprisonment. A decree should not be granted a vinculo for insanity aris ing after marriage; desertion should not be a cause for divorce unless, per sisted in for at least two years; a di vorce should not be granted' unless the defendant has been given full and fair oppdrtunilty by notice brought home to him to have his day in court when his residence > is known or can be ascertained; any one named as co respondent should,. in all cases, be given an opportunity to intervene." It was decided by a considerable majority of the delegates that not less than two years’ residence should be required on the part of the plaintiff who has changed his or her state dom icile since the cause of divorce arose where jurisdiction depends on the residence of the plaintiff. A warm discussion was precipitated over th,e following: "An innocent and injured party, husband or wife, seek ing a divorce, should not be compelled to ask for a dissolution of the bonds of matrimpny, but should he allowed at his or her option to apply for di vorce from bed to board. Therefore, divorces a mensa should be retained where already existing, and provided for in states where no such rights ex ist." A number of women left the room, Miss Fanny Leak Cummings, of the state of Washington, declaring that the resolution would put a premium on vice, and produced a number of sta tistics in support of her argument. The resolution was finally adopted, with an amendment allowing the inno cent party to apply for divorce from bed to board at'any time. Zach McGee, of South Carolina, the only state having no divorce law, re sented what he called a slur on his state, when it was said on the floor of the congress that Sou$h Carolina has a law limiting the amount of mpney a man may leave to a concu bine.
