Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hearings Before the Committee on the Judiciary: House of Representatives, Sixty-Fourth Congress, First Session on H. J. Res; 48, Serial 35, April 12, 1916 The subcommittee this day met, Hon. Warren G. Gard presiding. Mr. Gard. This hearing has been called for the purpose of argument upon House joint resolution 48, introduced by Mr. Edmonds on December 7, 1915. Statement Of Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, Of Washington, D.C., Superintendent International Reform Bureau. Mr. Crafts. Mr. Chairman, perhaps it will be appropriate before I introduce other speakers to state briefly what legislation the Congress of the United States has passed on this subject. The very first bill carried by the International Reform Bureau in Congress was the Gillett Divorce Act, approved May 25, 1896, which broke up divorce colonies in the Territories by making the required time of residence in the Territories longer than in some of the States. Under the old law a person could go to Oklahoma Territory and remain three months and secure a divorce. I remember I investigated this matter, as I always do before entering upon a campaign of legislation. I wrote the secretary of Oklahoma, asking him if a divorce could be secured as easily as was reported in the newspapers.
