He was coming up from Chicago and
at a small way station his train was de-

STUDENT FOUND DEAD.
Body Covered With Enthusiastically
Initiated in Fraternity.

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: The police are investigating the
cause of the death of Martin Loew. twen-
ty-seven years old, a student In the dental
department Of the University Of Maryland,
his boarding house. His roommate, Ephraim
Stone. twenty-three years old, was lying
unconscious beside the bed. Loew was
from Silesia and Stone is from Cape Town.
South Africa. Loew. 1t is said. had rela-
tives in New York. His body is at the
morgue.
It is said that the men were initiated last
week into the Phi Psi Chi, a college fra
ternity, of which many of the students of
the university are members. From bruises
on the bodies of the two men 1t would
seem that they had been roughly handled,
whether from the initiation or otherwise Is
not known. An inquest and post-mortem
examination will be held tomorrow. Stone
has been removed to the Maryland Univer-
sity Hospital He has regained conscious
ness, 1t is reported by the physicians, but
they will permit no one to see him.
Stanley B. Smith of ST. John, N. B., pres.-
dent Of the fraternity, was arrested to-
night on the technical charge of assault.
Twenty-Five members of the society have
been cited to appear before the coroner's
jury to testify.
Late tonight Stone made rambling
statement as to the experience of himself
and Loew last night. Neither was physical
ly able to assist the other, he said. though
each thought the other was dying in great
bodies of himself and Loew are due to
hazing by their classmates, but admits
that he and Loew had been recently in
itiated into the Phi Psi Chi Fraternity.

Boundary Award Final.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Ont, says: Mr..
Clifford Sifton, one of the Canadian repre-
sentatives on the Alaska boundary tribunal,
has returned to Ottawa. The decision rem
dered by the commission must be accepted
as final, ne says, no matter how Canadians
might feel about the injustice of the award.
In his opinion It was proved beyond doubt
that the Portland channel ran to the north
of Pearce, Wales Sitklan and Kannaghnut
islands, thus emitting Canada to all four,
and that the boundary line should cross the
range of mountains nearest the sea. AS to
the Lynn canal, it is his judgment that the
acouiescence of Great Britain In acts of oc-
cupation by the United States made 1t diff
cult to expect a decision favorable to Can
ada, An all-Canadian rail route from the
interior to the coast, he believes, will be
the ultimate solution OF the question.

sary, to prevent fighting by any beliIgerents

the railway in jeopardy. Colombia cannot
fight against Panama in Panama unless on
terms prescribed by the United States

Seems Plain Enough.
THAT seems plain enough" continued Mr..
Webster, "as to the rights of the United
States under the treaty; but what will hap
pen to the treaty if Panama shall achieve
her attempted secession and shall become
an Independent state. There will come In
the law Of nations declaring the rights to be
held and duties to be performed by Pan
anna. She will, on the one hand, be re-
leased from the general debts of Colombia
and treaties of general alliance, commerce
and guarantee made by the United States
of Colombia, but will, on the other hand, as
new state, be responsible for all local OBJ
legations incurred by New Granada, such as
that with the United States regarding free
transit across the isthmus, and will be en-
titled to the benefit of the guarantee of SOW
ereignty by the United States and all local
benefits secured by treaties Colombia has
made.
Recognition by the United States of de
facto or dc jure government is, as we all
know, an executive act to be exercised by
the President in his discretion. The courts
OF our country follow his lead. He obvi-
ously must have somebody in Panama to
deal with officially, if only from week to
week, or day to day, in order to execute
the treaty of 1916 regarding the isthmian
crossing.
whether or not IL Panama shall MAIN
tain her independence and shall become by
general recognition a new nation in the
family Of nations, the President will con-
clude a treaty with the new nation for
building the canal, and, If it shall be rati-
fed, will proceed to eXpend public money
therefor under existing statutes without
further Legislation under the new treaty is
not question of international law, but of
domestic policy"

2o.N per cent-is double the European average and nearly double that of Cam ada. In view of the record-breakings in immigration during the period covered by the census this fact is not surphising. The rate is highest in the North Atlantic States. and it has decreased almost half in the States west of the Mississippi. Immigration here plays again conspicu- ous part, of course. The newcomers set tie about where they land. Migration toward the Occident has suffered a de- cline for which the imported population refuses to make up. It is to be borne In mind, however, that a falling off in the rate increase by no means signifies that the west has ceased to grow. That section is growing normally and there- fore healthfully.
 An interesting point in the bureaus bulletin Is that concerning the Southern States. There is noted here a relatively uniform growth, and for the first time in the national history a faster rate of increase than that shown by the north as whole. This is manifestation of the spirit of the new South-a symptom of final recovery from the lingering blight of slavery and war and a part of the promise of a complete industrial rebirth.
