Miss Carrie Robs Proposes Uniform
Law that Licenses Issue Month
Before . Marriage. '
CHICAGO, July I6.-(Spelal Telelrram.)
The Indiana district of, th Lexington
conference of the Methodist -Episcopal,
church, in convention at Scott ehurch here
today, went on record as demanding that
the states of the union ' adopt Uniform
laws, providing that marriage licenses be
Issued one month before the marriage can
take place. ' 1
This action was taken after an address
on "Are the Morals of the Rao Declin
ing T' by Mrs. Carrie Ross of Indianapolis,
president of the Woman's Horn Mission
ary society. -i .
"One of the worst evtls,'? she says, "we
believe, is the ease with which young
girls can get married. In soma states there
Is practically no brains at the marriage
license window. Ther Is no pretense at
discrimination between old and young;
responsiDie or irresponsible, . If the law
required that licenses should be obtained a
month before the wedding, the chances of
Illegal marriages would b lessened to the
minimum." .t .r , .. , .

Will fio A Ion a.
Bt'DA PESTH, July 16. (Special CHble
gram.) Emperor King Francis Joseph has
under consideration what Is reported to be
a tentative offer of Jl.OuO.OOO. by J. P. Mor
gan, for the throne curtain and other
priceless relics of Matthias Corvlnus, king
of Hungary In the Fifteenth century.
Th relics the American financier Is said
to be bidding for constitute a part of the
heirloom collection in Castle Galgoes, the
hereditary caxtle of Count Imro Erdoedy.
Not only the relics, but also the cantle and
the extates surrounding it, to the number
of fourteen, forming the Galgoez comltat
neubla, are also sought by Mr. Morgan.
Should he become possessed of the es
rates. Mr. Morgan will, have some of the
rights of a feudal baron, Inasmuch as
Castle Oalgoea Is part of an ancient prin
cipality. A part of King Corvlnus' library, which
the mighty warrior got in his fights with
the Turks and other nations. Is still in the
caatle. Th building stands on a hill,
overlooking the town of Galgoez, with its
8,600 Inhabitants. It lies In the valley of
the Waatr.
Count Erdoedy took th Hungarian pre
mier Into his confidence when th offer
was made.
The premier was quick to remind th
count that the throne curtain of King Cor
vlnus was part of the entailed property of
th estate, and consequently could not pass
out of the possession of the family without
the permission of the emperor king.
The aged monarch was thereupon ap
pealed to. He Is still very feeble from his
recent Illness snd his answer to th appeal
is a matter of uncertainty.

make a good crop. Corn has a good color
and ranges from knee to waist high. All

Commmission Plan
Has Enough Names
More Than Enough. Signatures Are
Already Secured Vote on Prop
osition September Five.
That the people of Omaha are ready to
start the ball a-rolllng for the commission
plan of city government Is plain from ths
way the signatures have come in on Th
Bee's petitions during the last week.
Mors than enough signatures are already
attached to petitions in hand. - The pe
titions returned have 4,726 names, with
quite few papers still out. The inten
tion is to keep the petitions going long
enough to bring the number of signatures
up over 6,000 before filing, so that there
may be no question as to its sufficiency,
and to make full allowance for possible
duplications and accidental signatures of
people who may not be qualified voters.
Under the law 4,300 signatures to the pe
tition would be ample.
To confer as to the time of the election
and other details, Victor Rosewater of Th
Bee yesterday called upon Mayor Dahl
man, who must issue ths proclamation and
fix ths day. The ' mayor indicated that
he had posted himself on the new com
mission plan law, and was ready to call
the election for the most convenient time.
It was agreed that there would not be suf
ficient time to allow for Inspection and
checking of the petitions and permit of
a vote on the question of adoption with
thirty days notice on August 16, ths day
of the coming primary election, but that
it would be feasible and desirable, with
a view to saving unnecessary election ex
pense, to have the commission plan sub
mitted on the first registration day, which
is ths first Tuesday in September, and
comes this year on September S.
The mayor expressed himself as par
ticularly desirous of having the commis
sion plan voted on Independent of any
other propositions or contests for political
office. This is understood to be also the
desire of Messrs. Sunderland, Breen, Gor
ing and others associated with them In

The Beeir
King George Urged
to Come to Canada
Argued that a Visit Would Be Timely
and Would Stop the Talk of
Annexation.
LONDON, July 16. (Special Cablegram.)
So greatly pleased Is George V by the demo
cratto note In the Irish and Welsh recep
tions, and by the forecasts of the welcome
he and Queen Mary will meet next week
In Bcotland, that h Is said to be recon
sidering seriously the feasibility of visiting
Canada, while returning next January from
ths Durbar at Delhi.
When this idea was broached several
months agov It did not seem practicable,
but, according to credible rumor in Cana
dian circles In London, the whole question
has been reopened because the king's strong
desire to consolidate the imperial sentiment
in all parts of the empire has had an un
expected flllp from his' coronation and post
coronation experiences.
Sir Wilfred and other Canadian states
men, when here for the coronation, are said
to have urged him to come back by way
of the Dominion. They pointed out that,
though as prince of Wales, he was In
Canada only a few ysars ago, his appear
anre there as king would have a particu
larly stimulating effect in loyalist quar
ters and would serve to check "any under
tow of annexation and pro-American senti
ment" George V Is reported as "regarding the
argument In favor of the visit as sound
and timely."
Canadian officials In London, irrespective
of their ldlvldual attitudes toward reci
procity, hold that it would be "good Im
perialist policy" for the king to cross the
Dominion southern tier st a data not re
mote from the expected Canadian general
election, turning upon the Knox-Fielding
proposals. They bellsvs ths debates In
Washington and Ottawa have served th
ulterior purposes of the "Canadian and
American politician who fish In troubled
waters." Doubtless contlnnous pressure will
be brought to bear on the king.
