 Molesworth shook up his batting order following two disasters at the hands ot the Pels and the changed front greeted Pitcher Allison. who essayed to do slab duty for Johnny Dobbs with a brief but telling attack. Coyle, first up shot a single to left. Sloan then followed with a duplicate blow to right sending Miekie to third Wherewith Allison bowed to the crowd and hunted a dry spot near the water cooler. Pop Boy Smith was rushed into the breach but Danny Clark greeted his first pitched ball with wallop to right sending Coyle home. Coombs popped, but Lindsay singled and Sloan and Clark counted. Smith then tightened up and the rally was checked.
 Smith Good in Spots
 After the first disastrous round the eX- Baron heayer bowled along in great style until the fifth when another run was added when Smitty after threatening to get away without a score after he had filled the bases walked Ellam and forced Q in a run. Smith then weakened and both she seventh and eighth innings netted the Barons a run.
 The Pels scored their first counter m f1e tlfSt 1DnllR 8neI INtlilN was SiNth life on q fielder's choice and scored on Edmondson's vicious drive to right. An ether was added in the fourth. With one down Pezeld reached first when Edmond son, who had walked, was forced at sec ond. Johnson shot a single to left and Pezold reached third. On cleverly exc cuted double steal Pezold scored. The Pels last marker came in the eighth. With one down Hendrix doubled and after D ailI. hol to Thomas sent him home on another smash for two bags to right.
 Barons Can Hit
 The hitting proclvites of the Barons yesterdav were of d brand not before demonstrated since their return from their recent disastrous trip from home. After the fourth smith was continually in trouble and had the Barons not fallen victim to their old bone-head jinks they would have won by a larger margin.
 In the fifth Smith made a desperate effort to prevent a score after he had filled the bases with none out and but for his wildness might have pulled the stunt. It happened after a manner as follows: Sloan opened the inning with a walk. Clark bunted and smiths throw drew Edmondson off the bag while the Baron keystoner reached first in safety, and Coombs followed with another bunt. Smith played the ball to third too late to catch Sloan and all hands were safe. Lindsay flew out to right. Magee then shot a smash to Smith which bowled the big heaver over. but he recovered in time to nab Sloan at the plate on a wonderful throw. With two down Ellam walked and forced Coombs over with run. Hale popped to short ending the inning.
 A downpour of rain delayed activities for half hour and the game was played on a slipper field.

Jewish Law In International jurisprudence
By Prof. Norman Bentwich
Law University of Cairo Egypt
By Prof. Norman Bentwich

In the great mural painting rep
resenting Law" which Mr.. Sargent
has painted for the Boston Library
the chief place is taken by Moses,
who is depicted as the supreme law
giver. And it is characteristic of
Judaism, as of Mohammedanism,
that it comprehends within it's re-
ligious doctrine a complete system
Of personal, civil, and penal law
That system, which is primarily
based on the prescription to be found
in the Mosaic books of Exodus and
Deuteronomy, is developed in the
Rabbinical literature known as the
Talmud, which was in process of
formulation between the beginning
of the Christian era and the 9TH CEN
tury. A considerable part of the Tai
mud consists of an elaborate discus
sion of the rules of the civil and per-
sonal law, which may be compared
in it's matter, if not in its form, with
Justinian's Dig gest of the Roman
Law. In the medieval period,
which for the Jew, who did not have
to pass through Dark Age, stretch
es from the ighth century almost to
the present day, the need was felt
for a more concise and summary
statement of the law than the Tai
mud provided, and accordingly the
great rabbis from time to time COM
piled legal codes, which obtained
general acceptance by reason of
their intrinsic excellence without the
intervention of any legislative att
thority.
1t was from Spain that some
of the most celebrated of these
codes derived and the author of
the most authoritative of all, Moses
Maimonides, was born at Cordova,
though his work was written in
Egypt. Spain was at that epoch the
principal Jewish law-making centre
and the codes of the Spanish Jewish
sages are still in force throughout
Eastern Jewry. The mediaeval sum-
maries of Jewish law cover the
whole field of jurisprudence; for al
though in practice it was only the
personal law which could be applied
by the Jewish jurisdictions, the
study of the whole system contin-
ued to form a main part of educa-
ton. In modern times, too, it is
only the personal law which has
practical interest for the lawyer.
The rabbinical tribunal, which oper-
ates either as recognized court of
arbitration or by the mere consent

apply the jewish rules as to CIVIL
damage or prescriptive title. but its
decisions on such topics do not fall
within the purview of national
courts. On the other hand, the Jew
ish rules as to marriage, divorce and
succession on death have often to
be considered by the courts of differ
ent countries, and not infrequently
give rise to difficult questions of jur
isdiction and conflict of laws. The
recognition of a separate Jewish per
sonal law varies in degree among
the nations, according as they have
or have not made complete cleav-
age between the religious and the
secular law in their own system.
Where that cleavage exists, as in
France, the Jewish law, as such, is
disregarded by the courts; where,
on the other hand, questions of the
personal status are wholly determin-
ed by the law of the religious COM
munity to which the individual be-
longs, as in Moslem countries, the
Jewish law is recognized as sys-
tenn having equal validity with that
of the dominant religious body, and
Jewish courts for the administration
of the law are authorized by the SOW
ereign power. Lastly, in countries
such as England and Austria, which,
while secularizing the greater part
of their legal institutions, have yet
retained some vestiges of the re-
1igious regulation of the laws
of marriage and succession, the
Jews are recognized to a limited de-
gree as a separate legal community.
1t is these differences of standpoint
which give rise to interesting prob
lens of private international law,
the more frequently because the
Jews are, SO to say, more mobile and
change their domicile and allegiance
more readily than other peoples.
In England.
In England the recognition of
Jewish law is now reduced to a very
small sphere the form of marriage.
The peculiar formalities of the be-
trothal and the placing of the ring
on the brides finger before witness
es, which constitute a Jewish mar
riage, are recognized as substitutes
for the publication Of banns and the
presence of a clergyman. Statutory
provision is made for Jewish mar
riages by the Marriage Act of 1886
and the Marriage Registration Act
Of 1856, but these enactments are
designed principally to introduce a

riage celebrated in the synagogue.
Apart, however, from the express
declaration Of the validity of Jewish
marriages by statute, there are au-
thoritative cases establishing their
validity by the common law. The
greatest of English international jur-
lists, Sir William Scott, afterwards
known as Lord Stowell, upheld in
two notable cases at the end Of the
eighteenth century the legality of
the Jewish form of marriage, and
went even so far as to suggest that
capacity should be determined by
the Jewish law. (Cf. Lindo V. Bel
isario, 1875, l Hagg. Consist, 21O;
and Goldsmid " Bremen, 1898, Ibid,
p. 324).
In the earlier case he made an
elaborate investigation of the Jew
ish authorities, and in adopting the
opinion of the rabbis who had been
consulted, he said: "If were to- de-
termine this question of marriage on
principles different from the estab-
lished authorities among the Jews
as now certified, I should be unhing
ing every institution and taking
upon myself the responsibility of &C.
clesiastical judge in opposition to
those who possess a more natural
right to determine on questions of
the kind"
The exceptional privilege accord
ed to the Jews in regard to the for
NAL validity of their marriages is at
tributed by legal writer at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century
"to the pecu1iarities attending the
state of the Jewish nation in Eng
land, having always been looked
upon as distinct people, and hav
ing for long time been treated
rather as aliens than as native sub
jects." (Roger's Husband and
Wife, Second Edition, Vol. H., PIP.
1860 When the Jews, however,
obtained full civil and political equal
ity, they still retained their privi
lege. But while Jewish law has been
allowed to regulate the formal valid
ity Of Jewish marriage, it is now
disregarded upon questions of capac-
ity and incapacity. Thus, although
Jewish law permits marriage Of
uncle and niece, it has been held that
the marriage of an uncle and niece,
when both were domiciled British
subjects and the marriage was cele-
brated at Wiesbaden according to
Jewish custom and practice, was in
valid as being prohibited by the Eng

REAL MORALITY.

.Proyincialism is not morality"
says DR.. Frank Crane, many con-
scientious people feel that whatever
is different in immoral.
ITO many an honest villager and
farmer the city is a sink of iniquity.
The unconscious ground for this con-
viction is simply that so many things
are done in cities to WHICH the rural
dweller is not used.
II find a very common expression
of opinion among those of any nation
section or race, that those of another
are quite loose in morals. The
English think French are libertines,
and the French think English are
hypocrites. Methodists imagine
shocking things of Roman Catholics,
and the latter al curdle your blood
with accounts of the vileness OF
Methodists. A church member in
Kansas looks upon a German slipping
beer to music in a garden as on the
toboggan side to moral wreekage.
Il would define real morality as
that principle in a soul which re-
spects the sanetities of life, maintains
loyalty in love, seeks and enjoys use
full daily work, subjects all desires
to judgment, subordinates personal
to altruistic motives, abhors dirt,
is stern toward self, and lenient to-
wards others. Wherever you find
a principle working these works in
a man. you have found morality,
whether the mar be white, yellow,
Christian or Mohammedan, consum-
er of grape juice or of pump-water."
