In the Canadian house of commons last

important announcement

brary here several old maps, some French
and some Dutch, which give the boundaries
OF the Spanish and Dutch possessions in
south An erica, and according to which
the boundary line drawn is at least as ex-
tensive as the present claim of the British
government. Now. these may be in the
foreign Office Of England or they may not.
and 1t seems to me 1t would be a proper
thing and in the public interest IL the gov-
ernment were to order copies of these maps
ana have them placed at the disposal of
the foreign Office.
There is a map OF M De Lisle who WAS

Dumping Garbage In the Bay.
Formerly it had been the practice to con-
Hey tine garbage and refuse down the bay
in scows fitted with false bottoms and
dumped into the sea. But 1t was found
that the material did not reach or remain
at the bottom of the harbor approaches.
and complaints were frequently made by
dwelers along the shore that the most Of
fepsivc articles were often cast into their
yards by the tides. 1t was this that led
to the adoption of new garbage and refuse
disposal ideas. 1t was held that the change
was profitable for the city. for the costly
scow and uncertain service could be abaii-
doncd in favor of reduction plants and fur
naces that represented minimum of cost
If not profit. Careful calculations were

Case Against Him Dismissed - Wit

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, June 20
The case Of the United States against
Colonel Emilio Nunez, the Cuban patriot.
charged with aiding in fitting out the ex-
petition which IS alleged TO have left
this port on April 9th for Cuba, came to
an abrupt end to-day by the United
States Attorneys asking for the dismissal
of the accused. Colonel Nunez and his
counsel, HOratio Rubens OF New York,
insisted on a hearing or a dismissal Of
the case. The government witnesses
were not present owing to having been
detained i'm Philadelphia TO testify in
the case against Colonel Hart and Cap
tain Reilley, in connection with the same
affair.
United States Attorney Frank Clark
asked for a continuance until after the
hearing Of the case against Nunez and
Hart, I'm New York. on Monday, but as
Nunez has been under arrest here since
last Saturday, and the case has been con-
tinued from day 10 day, at the request
of the government Commissioner Egan
refused 20 grant any further continuance.
The government could not proceed with
out the presence OF the witnesses, and
asked that the case be dismissed, but
uave notice that another warrant would
be issued for the arrest Of Nunez after
the case In New York is disposed OF.
Colonel Nunez and his attorney will
leave for New York tomorrow morning.

PHILADELPHIA. June 2G.-1'he case OF
Actor Gentry, on trial for the murder OF

York. as she was known on tho stage,
was given to the jury at S:i5 tonight.
The killing was clearly proved. Lawyer
Charles Brooke. OF New York. for tba
defence, set up intoNication solely as a
paliation Of the offence. Mr.. Brooke ls
the same lawyer who conducted the de-
fence OF Mrs. Fleming. acquitted IN New
York OF the charge OF numbering her
mother by poisoning.
The Court. after waiting until 1928 for
a verdict, adjourned for the night
Mr. Brookes address was more In the
nature OF an appeal to the sympathies OF
the jury than a logical line OF reasoning
for the actor from the evidence offered
in his behalf
Judge Yerkes's charge was impartial.
but il anything, It bore favorably for
the prisoner.
The defence expects nothing better than
a verdict OF murder IN the second degree,
and IL thay get this the prisoner himself
dict than his witnesses or the elOquence
OF his counsel. Never has such a broken
man faced jury In the criminal courts
or Philadelphia. The mans appearance
as he sat in the dock this afternoon was
so pitlable that time and again tears
came 20 the eyes OF many OF the specta-
tors. Gentry was an incredibly changed
man. He stared I'm front Of him with a

and a conyulsive gulpng I'm his throat
