PHILADELPHIA SOCIETY
SHOCKED BY RULING
Bishop Rhinelander Cites Church
Canons as to Remarriage
After Divorce.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 1S.-
The New York clergyman who off,
ciated at the marriage Thursday of
Jay Il. Lippincott, clubman and mem
ber Of the family of publishers of that
name. to Mrs. Mary L. Bogert Hunt
ington, divorced wife of L. Irving
Huntington, violated the tenets of the
Episcopal Church If the ruling of Bish-
op Rhinelander, head Of the Episcopal
diocese Of Philadelphia, is accepted. The
ruling came as great shock to Phila-
delphia society.
Bishop Rhinelander said that the
canons of the church forbid the re-
marrying of any person while his or
her husband or wife was still living,
provided that the person was not the
innocent party in a divorce for adui-
terry.
Does that mean, then. that a woman
divorced for barbarous treatment could
not remarry?' the bishop was asked.
The bishop replied in the affirmative.
The cause for which the divorce in
the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Huntington
was granted last year was on the
grounds OF baIbarQuD treatment

From the Heat.

BOSTON, Mass, September 1S-The
unprecedented September heat wave
continued yesterday, and for the fourth

the nineties. Several deaths and many
prostrations were caused by the heat.
Many ways of securing relief from
the heat were tried out all over east
ern Massachusetts. and one of the
most novel was "keep-cool lawn
party" given by a social leader at her
Salem estate last evening.
The guests came. fifty in number. all
attired in bathing suits. The lawn was
decorated with Japanese lanterns, and
chairs and hammocks were plentiful.
Long lines of hose had been stretched
to the lawn, and pretty young misses
manned the nozzles. Whenever guest
began to pant and perspire from exer-
ton he had but to step in front of the
hose and say, Sprinkle me-. He was
sprinkled, and then. feeling fit, he was
ready to plunge again into the spirited
fun which the hostess kept going.
Pretty girls in bathing suits served
refres shments to the guests, VINO were
all attired in similar fashion.
In making the trip from and to tnelr
homes the guests wore bathrooes

Appeals for Sympathy.

with Americans in control of our
customs and finances there will be no
necessity for a secretary of finance;
with the constabulary there will be no
need for secretaries of war and public
security: with American engineers, no
necessity for secretary of public
works. Our government will be left
powerless, our officials will become su-
perf1uous, our laws will be of no avail.
Il am absolutely certain that the
Haitian people are anxious to form
close alliance with the United States.
Our government is unstable; force is
necessary to insure peace. We well
come the American offer. But, we want
cooperation, not subjection. We are
a small people, but we love liberty and
freedom. Under the Monroe doctrine
we believe that we have a right to ask
that the essentials Of our liberties be
left to us. l feel certain that l shall

Charges Unfairness.

Discussing the details OF the proposed
treaty, Mr.. Chauvet made the point that
it was unfair to the Haitians to eliminate
them entirely from the administration OF
the custou1houses.
"It will probably be difficult" he
said, "for Americans to realize the i'm
portance of having the finances of Haiti
controlled in part by Haitians. but
assure you that upon this one point de-
pends the whole question of a peace
able acceptance of the American
governments offer of friendly assist
ance. Haitians are accustomed to for
eign control of their national bank. but
not to foreign control of their customs.
1.-The United States took control of
the customs of Santo Domingo, but
Haiti, unlike the sister island, has
never defaulted any of her debts, and
no European nation has ever had to
force payment of Haitian debt. The
appointment of such financial coun-
cilor as the Wilson note demands will
mean a practical dictatorship. The
per cent demanded of customs receipts,
will net 100000, which will go to the
payment of handful of American ad-
rninistratorS.

Land Is Farthest North.

Mr.. Adams said the most northern
part of the new land as far as Stefans-
son saw it appears to be farther north
than any other land in the great Parry
Archipelago, to the north of the Ameri-
can continent. Mr.. Adams expressed
the opinion that the land discovered by
Stefansson rises from the continental
shelf in shallow waters that surround
the Parry Archipelago and that its dis
covery shows that this part of the Arc
tic ocean is comparatively shallow
Mr.. Adams also pointed out that an
other notable achievement was StefanS-
sons completion of the charting of the
northeast coast of Prince Patrick Is
land. There was a stretch of some fifty
miles of this coast line which had not
been covered in previous surveys, but
the gap now has been filled.
The expedition was undertaken by
Stefansson to test the theories which
had been set forth by DIR. Nansen and
others that the unexplored portion of
the Arctic ocean is a deep basin virtual
1y devoid of land. Other explorers had
asserted that land of considerable. area

nouncement that he is alive and well
on Banks Land. in the Arctic. eXplor-
ers and geographers directed attention
today to the new land he reports ne
has discovered in the far north.
In Stefansson's own report the new
ly discovered land is located near IS
degrees north latitude, III degrees
west longitude. He actually saw about
100 miles of coast line running in an
easterly direction and apparently pene-
trating to a distance of twenty miles
inland where from a hilltop the ex-
plorer saw mountains at distance of
fifty miles.
Cyrus c Adams. president of the AS
Sociation of American GeographerS,
aid in a statement today that StefanS-
sons new land lies about 100 miles to
he north of Prince Patrick Island,
and that the most southerly part of the
land which the explorer visited is con-
Siderably to the east of the most east
ward extension of Prince Patrick Is
land. The land nearest to it, Mr.. 'Ad-
ans said. are the Polynia Islands,

TT has long seemed to me very
appropriate that the Spanish War Vet
Grams should participate as an organi-

and that they should take a leading
part. The history of every Spanish
American war veteran, as such. begins
with the loss of the Maine. The or
ganiZation is now strong enough to
conduct ceremonies impressively. Dur
ing my residence in New York I have

campments of the United Spanish War
Veterans, all more or less connected
with Maine memorial matters-in fact,
have dra wn much closer to the patri
otic societies than was practicable for
me during the time that 1 was living

trict of Columbia. and thank you and
them for the kind thought of me which
inspired my election to membership on

ansson was still alive. They did not
understand the explorers wonderful
resourcefulness in the north, he added.

"At another time | followed him

his own trail and at the end of the
forty miles we came to Amouiiktok, the
small sandspit on which camped
soon after leaving the Karluk. These
are only two instances of his almost
