Washington, Feb. '29 OUP)-The
 aten Island case wherein New iork states rights to require grade crossing eliminated is challenged will probably be dismissed by the '. $. supreme court for want of juris- diction.

When the arguments started late yesterday. the court as- serted that 1t appeared that it was called up to review directly the le- gality of the commissions action whereas its only jurisdiction was over action of lower courts.
 If Jurisdiction can be proved, the court will hear argument of the case on its merits.

Washington, Feb. 29 P-Manu- the slight slump in the national trade during January, it was dis closed today by the commerce de- partment.
 Though the country's total exports for January were less than those of the same month last year. the value of it's manufactured goods exports actually increased.

 The decline in figures of total trade was almost exclusively in the raw materials category.

Mrs. Colby at the end of 1925 asked Colby to divorce her, Mille- rand said.
 The Versailles courts refusal to accept jurisdiction in the case is a vital blow to the American society people to whom France has become a figurative blacksmith shop in which the irkscme chains of unhap- py marriages can be severed.
 Months ago some judges hinted that the flood of American divorce applications was humiliating to the prestige of the courts, and announc- ed that the requirements under which the courts would act were to be made more stringent.

SKELETON IDENTIFIED
That Found in Outskirts of Brock ton Tentatively Identified as West Bridgewater Man.

Brockton, Mass. Feb. 29 R-The skeleton found in the outskirts of the city and tentatively identified yesterday as that of George H. Chamberlain of East Bridgewater, now appears to be that of Charles Dorgan, 65. of West Bridgewater, police reported today.
 Positive identification. however, will not be made until Dr. J. H. Lawrence of Bridgewater, Dorgan's physician, views the skeleton. He was expected to so late today.
 Mrs. George H. Chamberlain, who first identified the skeleton as that of her missing husband, later be- came undecided.
 Dr. Ernest Dewyer, a Brockton dentist, identified the shotgun found near the skeleton as the property of John Fallon of West Bridgewater. Dr. Dewyer said he had often used Fallon's gun on hunting trips and knew the weapon well.
 Fallon's wife told the police that Dorgan kept his shotgun in her home and that several months ago, when he called for the weapon, she gave him her husbands gun by mis- take.

 London. Feb. .s R1Sufficient progress has been made in the treaty discussions between the British and Egyptian governments for the Egyp- tian premier to lay certain facts be- fore the members of the Egyptian cabinet. Official circles in London point out that a definite stage in the negotiation has been reached, rep resenting a sincere attempt on the part of the British government to meet Egyptian aspirations, while preserving necessary safeguards
 Emphasis is laid on the fact that nothing has yet been signed and that statements published in Cairo containing an alleged forecast on the treaty should be taken with great reserve.
 The Cairo newspaper Fl Ahram has published what it asserted were the principal points in the draft treaty. These included supervision of Egypt's external affairs by Great Britain, and retention of airdromes and other means of communication by the British authorities.
 The paper added that the terms as outlined were not acceptable to Egypt.
