WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Right Rev. Doane of Albany and a committee of the Interchurch Conference on Mar- riage and Divorce called on the Presi- dent to-day to confer with him in re- gard to some of the results of their de- liberations. Bishop Doane, speaking. for the committee, delivered a brief address to President Roosevelt, to which the President replied as follows: Bishop Doane and Gentlemen: It s a very great pleasure to me to recelve you here. There is a certain tendency to. exalt the un- essential in dealing with our public questions, and public men especially are apt to get th attention concentrated on questions that ha au importance but wholly ephemeral com- pared with the questions that go stralght to the root of things. Questions iike the tariff and the currency are of literally no conse- Quence whatever compared with the necessity of having the unit of our social Iife, the home, preserved. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the cause you represent. While T do not know exactly what it Is that you wish me to do, I can say in advance that £0far as in me lies all will be done to co- operate with you toward the end you have in view. One of the most unpleasant and dan- gerous features. of our American .life is the diminishing birth rate and the loosening of the marital tiea among the old native Ameri- can familiea It goes without saying that for the' race. as for the, individual, no material prosperity, no business growth, no artistic or sciantific development, Wil count if the race commits_suicide. - Therefore, Bishop, ¥ count myself fortunate in having the chance to work witly you in this matten of vital importance to the national welfa: ANTI-] Measure Favored by President Reg- ulates the Issuance of Writs, WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—An'import- ang rieasure which is the result of con- ferences - held during the past ‘two months between President Roosevelt, Attorney General Moody, Commissioner of Corporations Garfield and represen- tatives of labor organizations and cor- porate interests, has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep- resentative Jenkins of ' Wisconsin. It provides that in labor disputes an in- junction shall not be issued until op- portunity shall have been afforded the adverse party to the proceedings to be heard by the court, and is intended as a substitute for measures pending in * Congress. Commissioner Garfleld to-day made this explanation of the proposed meas- ute: The original statute of 1793 provided that a hearfhg should be had before the issuance of any extraordinary writ. Equity rule 50 sim- ly carried® that provision into effect in all Tajunction proceedings. ~ Under the revision of the revised statutes in 1872 the old law was #0 changed as In effect to regeal that part of equity rulo 55, requiring the giving of notice before granting the temporary restraining order. “Ité bill introduced by Representative Jen- kins restores that provision of the rule which requizes that due motice niust be given to the advefse party in all labor cases before the writ ‘may issue. Its effect will be not to limit the right of injunction, but to prevent the fm- provident granting of writs of injunction by > @ffording the adverse party an opportunity to ‘e bbard before action fs taken by the court.

Thompson, an inspector for the ; United Railroads, died at the City Emergency Hospital early yesterday merning with a fractured skull, | Thompson received . his injuries at | Woodward's Pavilion on Wednesday | night and the first report given out | was that Patrolman Michael Murphy had struck the young man a blow that felled him to the concrete sidewalk and injured his head. An Investiga- tion started. by the police officials yes- terday seem, however, to exonerate Murphy and show that death was due to aceident. i The dlleged “bullfight” was in pro gress in the Payilion when the affair| happened, .. Policeman Murphy was detailed by . Captain. Anderson. on| Woodward -avenue,-in the rear .of the Pavilion, to preserve order. ' On ome’ occasion a crowd of youths procured a piece of scantling and startéd to'pry one of the rear doors open. Murphy | discovered them and drove them away. Quiet prevailed for a time, but the boys returned later and Murphy agajn gave chase. It was at this time that young Thompson stumbled while run- ning and struck his head on the pave- ment. Murphy did everything possible for the boy-and had him removed to the ;Cznual Emergency Hospital. There it | wae discovered that the patient could: | not live and he ‘expired.a few hours | afterward. - -Several. witnesses - were { quoted -as having seen Murphy strike Thompson, but when these were inter- viewed by Detective Matherson last night they denied the statement. J. F. Mullen of 1431 Stevenson street, to whom Murphy gave the pigee of scant- ling, said that he witneased the affair and that the patrolman was simply in the act of driving the crowd from the rear of the pavilion. George A: ‘Hol- land and wife of 48 Woodward ave- nue, who were named as witnesses against Murphy, say they were in the pavilion at the time and do not know what occurred. Murphy says his attention was first called to boys attempting to pry open the door. He drove them away'and when they returned he made another attack on the crowd. Thompson, in attempting to make his . escape, stumbled and struck his head on the pavement. * Chief Wittman will con- clude the investigation to-morrow morning, at which time Officer Mur- phy has been ordered to appear before him. —— e COURT ANNULS GIRL'S MARRIAGE TO MANIAC Young Woman Alleges That She Was Compelled to Wed Man Known to.

Two masked highwaymen entered the saloon of Jules Disler at the |,southeast corner of Oak and Frank- ['lin_streets shortly before midnight. | Disier was preparing to close up the saloon for the night. One of the doors of the saloon on Franklin street had been locked and er was about to lock the other when two men wear- ing black masks covered him with re- volvers. One of the robbers searched Disler and took $14 from his pocket. Disier resisted the men and they shoved him into a little room in the rear\ of the saloon. The robber ransacked the place and took $6 more from -the cash register. As Disier was thrown into the room, he locked the door from the inside. The men evidently feared that Disier would gain an exit to the street and give an alarm. One of the masked men broke the glass door and pointed his revolver at Disler. As he 'did this the gritty | saloonman struck the highwayman over the wrist with a broomstock. See- ing_the determined effort Disier ' was making to expose them and. fearing that some passerby might be attracted to the scene, the men hastily left. Disier finally succeeded in climbing through the glass door. He notified Po- liceman Lane, who was-on duty in that vicinity. . okt To Buy Sweeping Machines. | As the result of the inspection yes- terday of street sweeping machines ‘Works Commissioner Aigeltinger rec- ommends ;the purchase of three of the machines by the Board of ‘Works.
