WATERS OF ST. JOHN RIVER
Commission Investigating if Dam VIC
lates Provisions of Treaty.

Northeast Garry, Me, Aug 3.-The In
ternational st. John River Commission left
here to-day on two-hundred-m canoe
journey through the Maine wilderness for
the purpose of making personal inVesti-
cation of the conditions that prevail at
the headwaters of the east branch of the
Fenobscot River and the Allegash and their
relation to conditions on the st. John
River.
At the foot Of Chamberlain Lake is q
dam which the Canadian interests claim is
injurious to the st. John River. This dam
sends the waters of Chamberlain Lake down
into Telos Lake, through the TeIos Canal
into Webster Lake, and TO the sea by the
way of the east branch of the Penobscot
River, instead of down the Allegash, which
is claimed to be its natural course.
1t is the canal and the dam that the
counsel for the Canadian side in all the
hearings before the commission have at
tempted to show were in violation of the
Webster-AShburton treaty between the
United States and Canada, which provides
that the ST. John River shall be free and
open to the use Of both countries. The Ca
nadians claim that the diversion of the
waters of Chamberlain Lake is an obstruc-
ton TO the navigation of the river by lum-
Der, causing the waters to get low earlier
in the season, and at times preventing the
lumbermen from moving their logs.

MUST BE MARRIED AGAIN
Brooklyn Young People Find Commits
sioner s Knot Insecure.

Owing to a misunderstanding OF the new
marriage laws, Charles Angels, twenty
nine years old, a confectioner, of No. BIZ
Palmetto street, Brooklyn, and his wife,
who was Sarah Simon, twenty-siX years
old. of No. 437 Gates avenue, will have to
be married again.
They secured a marriage license on July
Is. saying the ceremony was to be per-
formed by the Rev. x Solomon. rabbi,
of No. 126 Vernon avenue. Brooklyn. In
stead the ceremony was performed by
Abraham Sazaroff, of No. &c Johnson
street.
Deputy City Clerk Joseph Y. Scully, or
Brooklyn. who issues the marriage licenses,
was greatly upset over this, and ordered
Sazaroff to bring the young people 10 the
Marriage License Bureau. They came, and
Mr.. Scully told them to get married at
once by Mr.. Solomon.
The present law holds a marriage con-
tract prepared by commissioner or
LAWYER to be valid only when it has been
sworn to before Supreme Court Justice
or County Court judge. Sazaron thought
his position as Commissioner Of Deeds gave
him the same right as an alderman,
ma gistrate or a judge to perform mar
rage ceremony. He had read marriage
ritual. signed the license and pronounced
