Pond Dead. NEW YORK, June 21.—Major James G.

Major Pond, who had been il for a month, underwent a slight operation two weeks ago, but the wound failed to heal satisfactorily, and it finally became necéssary to amputate the leg. It was announced at the time that the pa- tient had withstood the shock well and that the surgeons were hopeful of his re- covery. Major Pond was born at Cuba, N.

IN ANNUAL CONVENTION Decide Not to Grant Rabbinical Di- vorces Until Applig;ntu First Secure Civil Decree. NEW YORK, June 21.—The third con- ventton of tHe Union of Orthedox Jewlsh Congregations of the United Statés and Canada was held to-day in the First Rou- manian Synagogue. The Rev. Dr. Herera Mendez, president of the union, presided. Reports on the work done by the Central Conference of American Rabbis #n New Orleans last summer, at which time they advocated the observance by the Jews of a Sunday Sabbath, the presentation com- mittee condemns the suggestion, saying it “views with deep regret that men calling themselves Jews should advocate such a plan.” In a paper by David W. Amarth of Phil- adelphia “On the law of the State and Jewish Law,” the writér deplored the fact that many rabbis do not seem to under- stand that they should not grant rabbin- fcal divorces until those applying had first ‘secured a civil divorce. A resolution was adopted in conformity with the sug- gestions in Amarth’s paper, and further that no Jewish minister should officiate at the marriage of a divorced person unless such person has recelved a State decree of divorce and a rabbinical “get.”” The election of officers Tesulted as fol- lows: President, Rev.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 21.—In an in- terview to-day Senator M. A. Hanna reit- erated his récent statement that he was not and would not be a candidaté for the Viee Presidency and if his nomination were made that he would decline to ac- cept it. He said further that his ambi- tions did not lie in the direction of the White House and that nothing could in- duce him to alter his decision in the mat- ter. Colonel Myron T. Herriek, whose name also has beéen méntioned in connection with the Vice Presidency, said that hi§ sole political ambition was to be elected Governor of Ohio. Colonel Herrick thinks that the present discussion relative to a Vice Presidential nomination is tnoppor- tune. ® When the refusal of, the Vice Presiden- tial nomination by President Roosevelt was cited to Hanna as an fllustration of how public men sometimes change thelr views in such matters, and when it was intimated to him that thé convention might force the nomination for the Vice Presidency upon him, S8enator Hanna said that men in public iife who know him know very weil that nothing can be torced upon him. —_———— Well-Known Dramatic Critic’s Death.
