ALASKAN
BOUNDARY
ARGUMENT 7
Mr. Dickinson Sums Up for tho
u. s. and Refutes Contentious
on Behalf Of Great Britain

London Oct. 6.-On entering this
morning on the third day Of his argu-
ment before the Alaskan boundary com
mission. Jacob NJ. Dickinson OF counsel
for the United States. summed up the
question Of the Portland canal line. He
declared that the American contention
was the usual. simple, natural and con-
sistent method Of determining the boun-
dairy.
He held that Great Britain's eonten-
ton arbitrarily changed the direction of
the line through the canal to the fifty
sixth parallel and introduced new di-
rection In the boundary line. unprovided
for in the treaty and which instead OF
carrying the line direct to the fifty-slxth
parallel only seven miles distant. carried
the line sixty miles to the coast before
reaching that parallel
Counsel denied Attorney General Fin
lays and Solicitor General Carter's argu-
ments that the tribunal had no power TO
determine what constituted the coast
IL that was true the proceedings might
as we'll have not been commenced, for an
answer TO every question submitted re-
quested determination In regard to what
constituted the coast.
Dealing with the British argument that
article seven of the treaty OF 1925 applied
only to the lisiere Cor strip which Russia
was to obtain by the treaty. Mr.. Dickin-
son quoted Chief Justice Alyerstones
and the late Lord Russelrs own argu-
ments as showing that they. as counsel
for Great Britain at the fur seal arbitra-
ton OF 1893, took exactly the opposite view
from that now advanced by Attorney
General F'inlay and Solicitor General Car
ter. Counsel said he was surprised Mt
Great Britain's change of attitude on the
lisiere question. without adducing any
new grounds therefor.
Lord Alverstone listened with evident
amusement TO Mr.. Dickinsor's use OF the
Interpretations which he and the late
Lord Russell OF Kilowen, the former lord
chief justice formerly urged In Paris.
The commission then adjourned for the
day and proceeded to the meorial SER
vice for the late Sir Michael Herbert.

DIVORCED
FROM BOTH
HUSBANCS
Curious Matrimonial CompIl-
cations Of a Jewish Couple
at Baltimore Strengthened Out.

Baltimore. Nd. Dot. GA curious
matrimonial complication has been finally
settled by Judge Sharp granting Samuel
oren divorce from Marie Roypen. Last
October the couple were married. As
the couple approached the altar, Joseph
Goldberg. formerly suitor. slipped a
coin into the girls hand and according
to old Jewish custom claimed her as his
wife.
The incident created a sensation aomng
the crowd In the synagogue but the rabbi
concluded TO marry the girl to oren.
Next day Goldberg and the girl eloped
to Boston. Oren tried to secure war
rant for the girls arrest Failing In this
he went 20 Philadelphia and consulted
number OF Orthodox rabbis respecting the
case. Meanwhile Goldberg and the Roy
pen girl returned to Baltimore and went
TO live with Goldberg's parents.
Goldberg contended that the girls mar
rage TO Oren was null and void and that
his was binding because she was forced
to marry Oren by her parents. The case
was finally submitted TO a council OF
Jewish rabbs, who decided that the girl
had to be divorced from both husbands.

New Notes From ThornwelI Orphanage

The total listed family of this insti-
tuition today, includin g pupils and
teachers, is 225.
We are in the midst Of trying epide-
demic Of measles. There are today for
ty-four sick and more cases expected.
This occasions considerable expense,
and our friends will bear our sick
children in mind. Perhaps one half
of our whole family will have the dis
ease. We badly need some new cots
IN the ln6rmary. Twenty-Five dollars
would found a cot to bear the name of
the donor.
One of the very satisfactory things
connected with this Orphanage is the
demand for its graduates as teachers.
All of the last class were at once pro-
vided with schools and as many more
could have been arranged for. In
June mex quite a large class Of young
teachers will be sent out.
Six more orphans have been receiv-
ed during the month just ended.
Quite 8 number of other applications
are before us, perhaps above one hun.
dred. The Thornwell Orphanage does
not receive children with a father, nor
orphans with a living mother, if the
mother is able to pay for their sup.
port.
The payment Of FIVE dollars a month
constitutes any church, Sabbath
school, society or individual the pa
tron of one orphan.
We will be glad to receive dona.
tons of books for the Library, speci-
mems for the Museum and bread for
the children and to furnish informa-
ton at any and all times to those who
desire it. Regular monthly contribu-
tions would 60 a long way toward re-
lieving the pressure upon US.
