FOR CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
The Detrait Board of Commerce
 Adouts Resolution.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 20.-The Detroit Board of Commerce at a general meeting today adopted a resolution favoring Ca- nadian reciprocity and urging the imme- diate reconvening of the joint high com mission for the purpose of negotiating a new reciprocity treaty with Canada. The resolution points out the geographical and racial reasons which 1t Is declared make it clear that the most intimate trade re- lations would be mutually advantageous, and says:
 'The disappointment of the Canadian people at the failure of the British Gov ernment to grant reciprocal advantages corresponding with their own preferential tariff and the purpose of the Canadian Government to take the initiative in re- convening the nigh commission, combine to make this an opportune time for enter ing anew upon negotiations looking to re- ciprocal trade agreements: while the growing independence of Canadian indus tries, the possible adoption of system of preferential tariffs applicable to all British colonies and dependencies, and the movement for raising the Dominion tariffs, especially upon our manufactured goods. in case a reciprocity treaty is not negotiated all give warning of the danger of delay"

DOMINION IS WROTH
DOES NOT LIKE ALASKAN
 BOUNDARY AWARD.
Engrossed Copy Signed, But the Canadian Commissioners Decline to Place Their Names
 on the Document.

London, Oct. 20-In consequence of the attitude maintained by the Canadian commissioners, Lord Chief Justice Aver stone decided this morning not to hold the proposed public meeting of the Alas kan boundary commission. but to hand It's decision to Messrs. Foster and Sifton, respectively agents of the American and Canadian governments
 7 The Canadian commissioners not only declined to sign the award but said they would publicy withdraw from the com mission. They as we'll as the Canadians connected with the case are very bitter. Telegrams from the premier and other prominent persons in Canada show that this sentiment Is shared generally throughout the dominion.
 The engrossed copy of the Alaskan award was signed at 2:10 p. m. The Can adians declined to sign the award as previously cabled to the Associated Press.

"I read your symptoms of neuralgia of the heart and they correspond exactly with my trouble. 1 was suddenly taken with pain around the heart, attacks of shortness of breath, and a sufocating feeling. l could not lie down for three or tour weeks. My home doctor gave me no relief and thought would test Dr. Miles New Heart Cure and Nerve Plasters. got one bottle and plas- ter and took the former strictly according to directions, besides, placed plaster overmy left breast. The deep seated pam was gone before the first bottle had been taken and could draw long breath for the first ;ime in over a year. took four bottles of the Heart Cure, and am convinced it saved my life and I think fully as we'll of the Nerve PlasterS. They draw out soreness and pain and bring instant relief. I will add when my trouble was at its worst that the palpitation ot my heart shook the bed under me. could not think of lying on my left side, which was so sore that l could not bear the weight ot my arm to rest on it.

LEE IN HALL OF FAME
VALENTINE AT WORK ON THE
 STATUE.
With the Great Confederate and Washington Representing it, vir- ginia May Defy Any Nation
 to Produce Their Like.

Washington. Oct. 20-fSpecial. .)-Not- withstanding the protestations of the union veterans against the placing of a statuary hall of the capitol plans are maturing for the presentation of the cans.
 State Senator Halsey of Virginia, who introduced and pushed to passage the measure providing for the statue of Gen. eral Lee, Is now in Washington.
 He said today that the model for the ward V. Valentine. the Richmond sculp- tor. and that he thought that 1t would De ready to be passed upon by the commit tee appointed for that purpose when the Legislature convenes next month. l have no doubt." said Mir. Halsey. that the statue will be a splendid work of art and will take rank with the best been much gratified at the kindly express sions that have come from al. parts of the country concerning the proposition to place this statue of the great Southern they have not been surprising to me. When I introduced the measure 1 felt sure that the representative people of the Virginia the right which belongs to every State to choose Its own representatives in Statuary Hall. The expressions of admit ration for the military genius and lofty character of General Lee. which have often come even from prominent men of the North. convinced me that the pre- sentation of the statue under the law would be every where recognized as a graceful, and proper act.
 The criticisms that have been made have not come from sources really rep resentative of the consensus of public opinion. and even these have subsided and died out e Ibt if anything more will be heard in opposition to Virginia s free choice in the matter"
 When the statue Is presented, it will doubtless be accompanied as It's com panion piece by a fitting reproduction of the famous Houdon statute of Washing ton. which stand in the capitol at Rich mond, to take the place of the plaster cast of that statue now in Statuary Hall When these bronze representations of Washington and Lee shall stand together with the illustrious group in the national capitol we feel that Virginia may well point to them and ask if any other State or nation can produce their like"

Mounts Pinta, Ruhama and Vancouver

Mounts Pinta, Ruhama and Vancouver to Mount St. Elias
 Special opinions were submitted on the second and fifth questions by Lord Alverstone, Secretary Root and Senators Turner and Lodge, which will form part of the record and in which the reasons for their conclusions are explained.
 As the Associated Press has been off, ficially informed that Lord Alverstone and the American commissioners rely upon these opinions to answer criticisms of the Canadian members of the tribunal, these opinions to answer criticisms of the Canadian members of the tribunal. these opinions assume more than a legal and technical interest.
 On the vital question, number 5. Lord Alverstone submits seven printed pages. Among other things the Lord Chief Justice says:
 ''In my opinion 1t IS correctly pointed out on behalf of the United States that the word coast Is an ambiguous term. There is, as far as I know, no recognized rule of international law which would by implication give a recognized meaning to the word coast as applied to such sinuosities and such waters different from the coast itself. After a most careful examination, am unable to find any pas sage in the negotiations connected with the treaty of 1925 which supports the view that Great Britain was directly or indirectly putting forward a claim to the shores or ports at the heads of the inlets. have felt 1t my duty to express the reasons which led me to the conclusion to which I have come, that the answer of the fifth question should be in the affirmative, because I am constrained to take a view contracy to that placed on behalf of Great Britain
 The considerations urged on behalf of Canada, continued Lord Alverstone "strong as they are in favor of just and equitable modification of the treaty, do not, in my opinion. enable me to put different construction upon the treaty"
 This briefly is Lord Alverstone's expla- nation of why he decided against the contentious of his own countrymen and thereby settled the long standing dis pute.
 It Is impossible to deal adequately by cable with the technical details he ad- duces in support of his belief.
 Messrs Lodge, Root and Turner also submit long joint opinions on question No. 2 and g. Their opinion on No. is a peculiarly able and judicial exposi- ton, dealing with the contention of coun- sel on both sides with this result:
 'lt is impossible to resist the conclu- sion that the construction of the treaty now contended for by Great Britain is an afterthought, never entertained by any officer of the British Government during the life time of the makers of the treaty and whkch originated at least sixty years after the treaty was signed"
 The opinion of Mir. Aylesworth has not yet been turned in

 London. Oct. 20.-The following is an oficial digest of the Alaska decision:
 ''The decision of the tribunal is made up of answers to the seven questions contained in the treaty of 1903 constitut- ing the tribunal.
 ''The First Question-Answer: The line commences at Cape Muzoon.
 ''The second question-Answer: The Portland channel passes north of Pearse and Wales Islands and enters the ocean through Tongas Pass. between Wales and Sitklan Islands.
 "Third fquestion-Answer A straight line to the middle of the entrance of Ton gas Pass.
 Fourth Question-Answer: straight line between Salmon and Bear rivers direct to the 56th parallel of latitude.
 Fifth question--Answered in the affim- ative.
 sixth question-Required no answer af- ter the fifth question had been answered in the affirmative.
 Seventh question-Answer: The major ity of the tribunal have selected tho line of peaks starting at the head of Portland canal and running along the high noun tains on the outer edge. shown on the map of the survey made in 1893, extending to Mount Whipple and thence along what is known as the Hunter line of 1878. cross
  miles from it's mouth. thence northerly along the high peaks to Kates' Needle, from Rates Needle to the Devil's Thumb.
 The tribunal stated that there was not sufficient evidence owing to the ab- sence of a complete survey. to identify the mountains which correspond to those intended by the treaty. This contemplates a further survey of that portion by the two governments.
 From the vicinity of Devils Thumb the lire runs to the continental water shed. thence through White and Tayva or Chilkoot passes westerly to a mountain indicated in a map attached to the treaty as 6,S50 feet in height. thence to another mountain $500, and from that point in a somewhat curved line across the head of the glaciers to Mount Fair Weather.
 This places the Canadian outpost on the upper water of Chilkat river in Brit ish territory. From Mount Fai- Weather the line passes north on high peaks along the mountains indicated on the map by

Curtailment will Be Effected.

The fact that the Southern Furnace As- socfation has about been disrupted will not necessarily intefere with the curtail- ment agreement among the manufactur- CTS of iron as to production of pig iron. A prominent iron man and member of the Association said: "The agreement to curtail the production in this State is an agreement separate entirely from the as- sociation agreements. It is more of an individual agreement and just as soon as two other companies can be secured to sign this agreement the curtailment pro- ceedings wil be carried out I believe that there will be a reduction in produc- ton in the next fortnight or so in this district amounting to at least 25 per cent of the present amount of iron being made
