Washington, Feb. %. = While the
president was considering today the
latest note of the allied premiers on
the Adriatic controversy, sharp criti-
cism of his course in the negotiations
broke out in the midst of the peace
treaty debate in the senate. Not only
did irreconcilable opponents OF the
treaty, but one of the mild reserya-

Washington, Feb. 28.-The postoffice

mailed out and instructing him to re-
lieve Ben S. Hancock without delay
Forbes nomination went to the SEN

its next executive session was held
February IL, it was immediat tely re-
ferred as is customary, to the post

orable report on it and reported it

lay
The senate rules provide that con.
firmation shall not be certified to the

has held only one executive session
since Forbes was confirmed.

the holding Of another executive ses-
sion and so that he could be notified
to relieve Ben Hancock next Monday.

A Jewish Tribunal

ms religious disputes to ordinary
courts and questions the competency
Of secular judges to pass judgment
upon them. While Jews seeking vim
dication did sometimes appeal to such
courts for justice, they despised their
own conduct. To the Jew it is a sac
rilege to have his differences in re-
liglous matters referred to secular
courts. Sensitive, highly socially con-
scious, Jewry ever careful of its hon
or, leprobates the act of having re-
course to courts when its traditinal
customs and laws are foreign, and
charge the litigants that appeal to
such courts with having come into
them with unclean hands.
The old Orthodox, venerable Jews
watch the proceedings in the Court as
decrepit father looks upon the
youthful acts of his child. But in
stead of delight there is but wistful
amusement in their eyes. For though
made lame by fortunes spite in other
respects, in his religious and legal
acumen, Israel is most vigorous and
has no compeer.
Israefs morality, faith and ethics,
with their delicate and sensitive
structure, dragged into the open
court, subjected to shows of violence
at secular hands, such a dissertation
cannot well appeal to the Jewish
heart. And when the agony is over
and the decision is rendered, what
then? Those who have watched such
cases know that when the real con-
troversy first flames up. The decision
is the bugle call for the parties to
begin to reexamine the merits Of their
side and commence the controversy
anew. And while the determination of
the court remains, the controversy
grows.
In religious matters the Jewish
people is a very turbulent, factious
and uneasy temper. Here his mind and
heart are free from the contamina
tons and admixtures of his business
life, and he is agitated by a heaven
ly contemplation Of justice. Bracton,
Littleton, Coke and Blackstone are
good enough for him in business; in
the syynagoguge he wants his own
laws and authorities.
How can the court, says the Jew,
do justice to the dispute when the law
is applicable to it is hidden away and
wrapped in a tongue foreign to the
court? The principles of Jewish law
are unknown to it except through the
distant and uncertain medium Of re-
ports; its sole information is the
Eearsay Of others, without precedent
to guide them.
1t was therefore felt by judges who
presided over these religious contro-
versies, and by jurists in general,
that what was needed in the adjust
ment Of such differences was law
wholly and strictly Jewish, modified
and adjusted to the plainest American
principles agreeable to the Jewish
mode Of life. The aim and object Of
the Jewish Court Of Arbitration,
therefore, is to keep Jewish troubles
out Of the City courts and to adjust
such matters in Tribunal most COM
petent to judge them, giving perman-
ent and genuine satisfaction to the
parties involved.
But, the best proof Of the pudding
is in the eating, The usefulness Of. and

isfaction has it brought to the par

In it's short life of three months,

In suggesting a remedy or in pro-
posing an adjustment the Court bases
its judgment upon such mutual con-
cessions as will remove the cause Of
difference or irritation. Both parties
are made to feel at home at the Jewish

By DR.. Samuel Buchler, Founder of
Jewish Court of Arbitration.

Court of Arbitration, a Tribunal to
administer the Mosaic Law, is the
first attempt in the history Of the
Jews of the City Of New York to set
tie religious disputes, synagogual
controversies and all other disagree
ments growing out Of the religious
life Of the Jew, by applying the prin-
ciples of the old Hebraic Law. The
Tribunal is composed Of persons who
are fitted by their character, ability
and training for the performance Of
such duties.
Prominent members of the Bench
and Bar Of the City and Of the State
have spoken of this new departure in
terms of highest praise and common
dtion. It is hailed as an institution pro-
motive of greater public and private
justice. Jurists look upon it as new
tribunal to try cases never contem-
plated by the laws of the State, which
must necessarily result in better pre-
serving the religious freedom of the
Jew and in conserving the energies of
our Courts.
The Hon. Edward E. Swami, Dis
trict Attorney Of New York County,
congratulated the city on the creation
and establishment of this court, pre-
dieting for it life of great useful
ness and achievement. He believes
that it will have a tremendous in
fluence in stimulating greater har-
mony and better feelings in the re-
ligious life of the Jews of New York
City.
Mayor Hylan, the President of the
Board of Aldermen, and the Borough
President of Manhattan, the Commits
sioners Of the Sinking Fund Of the
city Of New York, have made thor
ough investigation as to the motives
and methods of the Jewish Court Of
Arbitration and have decreed that
the Criminal Courts Building be avail
able for its success. The Corporation
Counsel of the City Of New York also
favors the plan and has rendered a
decision recommending that the city
allow a public building for its use.
There is a provision in the Code Of
Civil Procedure which provides that
Courts Of Arbitration to which a dis
pute is referred, the disputants agree
ing to arbitration, have the same pow
er as other courts and their decisions
are Just as binding. II litigant is
dissatisfied with the decision Of
Court of Arbitration he has the right
to appeal to the Appellate Division Of
the Supreme Court, just as from any
other court decision. The judges Of
the Jewish Court Of Arbitration are
now making an effort to apply this
provision Of the Civil Code Of Proce-
dure to the Jewish Court of Arbitra-
ton in order to give their findings
binding effect.
What gave rise to the establishment
Of this Court was the very inefficient
and unsatisfactory way in which cases
now under its jurisdiction were prev
iously conducted and disposed Of by
other tribunals. The trial of matters
involving strictly Jewish matters
growing out Of the synagogal life Of
the Jew, in secular courts has almost
invariably resulted in decisions which
brought no satisfaction to the parties
