Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 13.—Just the
llvest sort of proposition the second an
nual session of the Immigration and
Quarantine Conference of the South
ern States Is proving. Big men are
here, brainy fellows, and they are here
to handle without gloves, and with an
eye single to securing the best results.
The keynote of the conference was
struck hy Governor Cox In his opening
address of welcome on yesterday,
however, when he said, among other
things:
“,We have a white population the
equal of-anv that Inhabits the earth,
but we arc confronted with a race
prqblera that is a hindrance’to our de
velopment and prosperity. The na
tional government tins conferred upon
the negro civil and political rights not
warranted by the standard of his man
hood and his relations to society. These
farts deter the class of immigrants
which wo desire from coining and
making their homes in the South. But
we must realize that the negro Is here
to stay; that the race problem must
be solved by fhe white man of the
South. Isjt us hope that In this rruclal
test we will have the sympathy and aid
of our white brother of the North. If
they will not help us, If they will not
repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to our federal constitution,
then let us here resolve that we
write In'the fundamental law of every
Southern state guaranteeing to the ne
gro protection to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happlnes, but forever deny
ing the vicious and Ignorant all polit
ical rights."
Bureau of Immigration.
Continuing, lie said:
"We should Induce each Southern
state to establish-'a bureau of Immi
gration with sufficient appropriations
to send agents to European countries,
to England, to Ireland, to Scotland, to
Switzerland, to France, to Germany, to
Wales and to Sweden, to Induce the
Intelligent, the honest, the Industrious
citizens of those countries to come and
locate in our midst, to have them
brought direct to Southern ports.
"Individuals cunnot solicit foreign
Immigration. Our state can."
Governor Blanchard Not Present,
Governor Newton Blanchard,
Louisiana, who was unable to attend
the conference, was represented by Dr.
C. H. Irion, of New Orleans. Dr. Irlbn
apologized for the absence of Gov
ernor Blanchard, who, he said, was de
tained by the press of public business.
Dr. Irion termed the conference "a
meeting of men with a purpose—the
fulflllmen of the destiny of the South.”
He said the question of Immigration
was the paramount one, as the prob
lem of preventing yellow fever had al
ready been solved. Ho said Louisiana
would not lie found lacking In helping
to fulfill the destiny of the South.
Further welcome lo the delegates
was extended by President Leland
Hume, of the Nashville board of trade.
Governor Hayward Speaks.
Governor Heyward, of South Caro
lina, touched upon the subject of the
deportation of the negro during the
course of his remarks. He said the
project could not be attempted, how
ever, unless It became a national rather
than a Southern movement. He thought
such a thing could not bo attempted
until the negro problem was more
acute In the North and better under
stood there. "In the course of time,"
he declared, "the negro, who Is now
rapidly Increasing In certain cities of
the North, may be his fulluro to meet
the expectations of the people of the
lasting '.benefits to bs .achieved from
them, j

Condemns Mob Violence.
Governor’Heywnrfl condemned mob
violence In every form, und likewise
did he condemn the tendency on the
part of negroes to overlook certain
crimes on their part of members »f
their race. "If there were neither mur-
der, arson nor criminal assaults," said
he, “It can bo safely said there would
be no lynching. These crimes do not
receive anything like their just meas
ure of condemnation from the negro
race.”

’ 1’Mlludelphlu, Pa.. Nov. 13.—Lutvyera,
clergymen and men of affairs, repre
senting many stales, nkxembled at the
Hellevue-Stralfnrd. In this city, today
at the opening of the second meeting
of the National Congress on Uniform
Divorce Laws. The attendance was
larger and of a more representative
character than that of the first meet
ing. which was'held In Washington lazt
spring.
The present meeting, which will be In
session several days, is to consider the
draft of a statute which the congress
will seek lo have adopted In livery
state of tile Union. The statute was
drafted by a committee of emlneot
lawyers and jurists mid prominent
clergymen, all of whom are conver
sant with the so-ealled divorce evil.
Three Chapters of Act.
The net Is divided Into three chap
ters: the first consists of ^Jurisdictional
provisions: the second, procedure, und
the third, general provisions, and Is en
titled,' ‘‘An net'regulating annulment
of marriage and divorce.” While little
or no change Is made In the given
muses for divorce as now existing,
certain.previsions Were evidently made
with u view of arresting the Increas
ing demand for legal severance of mar
ital bonds.
Under these provisions- secret, or
stur-chumber” sessions for lieuring
divorce cases before masters or other
representatives of the courts are done
fense a fine of not more than tl.000 and
Imprisonment of not more than one
year. Annulment of the marriage con
tract, as distinguished from divorce,
will be made for the following calisea:
Iippotenry, consanguinity, existing for
mer marriage, fraud, force or coercion.
Insanity and Illegal age.
Divorce, it Is provided, shall be of
two kinds—absolute and divorce front
bed and board. Under the first cla.—l-
rlj .itIon t the grounds ahnll be adultery,
bigamy, conviction and sentence for
crime, followed by two years* continual
Imprisonment; extreme cruelty: will
ful desertion, and habitual drunkenm -a
for two years. The same cau->- will
prevail In the eecond does with th«
additional cause of "hopeless Insanity
of the husband.” No divorce shall he
granted If It appeurs to the sods fa- -
tlon of the court that the suit has hern
brought by collusion or that the plain
