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 by Governor Cox In his opening address of. welcome on yesterday, however, when he said, among other things: "Wo have a white population the equal of anv that Inhabits the enrth, but we are confronted with a race problem that is a hindrance to our de velopment and prosperity. The na tional government has conferred upon the negro civil and political rights not warranted by the standard of his man hood and his relations to society. These facta deter the class of immigrants which we desire from coming and making their homes in the South. But we must realise that the negro Is here to stay; that the race problem must be-solved by the white man of tho South. Let us hope that In this crucial test we will have the sympathy und 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 will write In the fundamental law of .every Southern state guaranteeing to the ne gro protection to life, liberty and the pursuit of tmpplnes, but fower deny ing the vicious and Ignorant all polit ical rights." Bureau of Immigration. Continuing, he said: “Wo should Induce each Southern state to eatablish a bureau of Immi gration with sufficient appropriations to send agents to European countries, to England, to Ireland, to Scotland, to Switserlnnd, to France, to Germany, to Wales and to Sweden, to Induce the Intelligent, the honest, the Industrious cltlxens of those countries to come and locate In our midst, to have them brought direct to Southern ports. 'Individuals cannot solicit foreign Immigration. Our state can." Governor Blanchard Not Present. Governor Newton Blanchard, of Louisiana, who was unable to attend the conference, was represented by Dr. C. H. Irion, of New Orleans. Dr. Irion apologised for the absence of "Gov ernor Blanchard, who, he said, was de tained by the press of public business. Dr. Irion termed tho conference "a meeting of men with a purpose—the futflllmen of the destiny of the South." He said the question of Immigration wns the paramount one, as the prob lem of preventing yellow fever had al ready been solved. Ho said Louisiana would not be found lacking In helping to fulfill the destiny of tho South. Further welcome to the delegates was extended by President Leland Hume, of the Nashville board of trade. Governor Heyward Speaks. Governor Heyward, of South Caro lina, touched upon the subject of thp 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 be attempted until the negro problem was more acute In tho North and better under stood there. "In the courso of time," he declared, “the negro, who Is now rapidly Increasing In certain cities of the North, may be his failure to meet the exiwctatlon* of the people of the North,-and by his own consequent re sponsibilities, become such a hindrance und menace that our Northern friends will be ready .to do something more thnn simply give advice to the South." Condemns Mob Violsnct. Governor Heyward condemned mob violence In every form, and .likewise did he condemn the tendency on the part of negroes to overlook certain crimes' on their part of members of their race. "If there were neither mur der, arson nor criminal assaults,'” said he. "It can be sufely said there would be no lynching. These crimes do not receive anything like their Just meas ure of condemnation from the negro race.” Du.lng the afternoon session M. V. Richards, of Washington, D. C., who Is land and Immigration agent of the Southern railway, urged that all stiitea in the Union should establish depart ments of Immigration and all should make appropriations to sustain the same on a useful basis. Hon. J. C. Hemphill, editor of The Charleston News und Courier nnd who Is thoroughly conversant with the Smith Carolina law und the depart ment of Immigration In that state, which Is a creature of such law, ex plained the workings of the system to the delegates and the practical and- lasting benefits to be achieved from them, t, - A number of prominent Southern men were unable owing to business matters to attend the conference.

FEELING TAKE A STREET CAR RIDE; x COLDER THAN OUTSIDE AIR "Twinkle, twinkle, little car; I How I wonder where you are! 1 can ride you for a nlckTe, . And be froze to an Icicle." —S. M'LEAN. A passenger dropped his voice on the floor of a Capitol avenue car Tuesday morning nnd broke It! The poor fellow spoke soft word* to the conductor, but they were hard when they reached that official and he resented them. They went unheeded. Entreaties went for naught. The con ductor was almost as rigid as the com pany's rules. The heat waa not turned on! In the still atmosphere out by Geor gia avenue, the faithful thermometers registered two degrees below freezing —30. Up and down the avenue the ulong the Trans-Siberian among the steppes stood sentinel along the Hght of way und beckoned stiffly a warn ing to the belated ones.

Nov. 13.~l-awyei'S. clergymen and men of affair*, repre senting many states, 1 assembled at the Bellevue-St'ratfnrd, 1 In this city, today at the opening of the second meeting of the National Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws. The attendance larger and of u more representative character-Ilian that of the first meet Ing, which was held In Washington last spring, The present meeting, which will be In session several days, is to consider the draft of a statute which the congress will seek to have adopted In every state of the Union. The statute waa drafted by a committee of eminent lawyer* and Jurists and prominent clergymen, nil of whom are conver sant with the so-called divorce evil. Three Chapters of Aot. The act Is divided Into three chap ters; the first consists of Jurisdictional provisions; the second, procedure, and the third, general provisions, and Is en titled, "An act regulating annulment of marriage and divorce." While little or no change Is made In the given causes for divorce as now existing, certain provisions were evidently made with a view of arresting the Increas ing demand for legal severance of mar ital bonds. - Under these provision* secret, or "star-chamber" sessions for hearing divorce cases before masters or other representatives of the courts are done away with, und "all hearings and trials shall be hail before the court. . . . . anil In all cases be public." It Is also provided that "a decree dissolving the mnrrlsge tie so completely as to per mit the marriage of either party should not become operative until the lapse of a reasonable time after hearing or trial upon the merits of the case." The Wis consin, Illinois und California rule of one year Is recommended. Divorc* of Two Kinds. Another part of I he proposed law prohibits the solicitation of a divorce case by advertisement, circular or oth erwise, and prescribes for such an of fense a fine of not more thnn Sl.nno und Imprisonment of not more than one year. Annulment of the marriage con tract, us distinguished from divorce, will be inode for the following causes: Jmpotoncy. consanguinity, existing for- msr marriage, fraud, force or coercion, Insanity and Illegal uge. Divorce, It Is provided, shall be of two kinds—absolute and divorce from lied nnd hoard. • Under the first classi fication the grounds shall be adultery, bigamy. Conviction nnd sentence for crime, followed by two years' continual Imprisonment; extreme cruelty; ••Ifl- ful desertion, and hit bit mi I drunkenn-s- for two years. The same'cause util prevail In the second clnss with tin- nddltlonar cause of "hopeless Insanity of the .husband." No divorce shall lie granted If It appears to the satisfac tion of the court that the suit hits been brought by collusion or that tin- plain- tiff has secured or connived at the of fense charged, or has cundoned It pr lias been guilty of adultery not con- dnnetl. The new law also makes smite Important changes in the practice and procedure In divorce cases und their trial.
