Cantors vs. Rabbis in Combat
Over Interpretation of
Massachusetts Law.
BOSTON.—(J. T. A.)—A con-
troversy has developed here as to
who is entitled to perform mar-
riage ceremonies, in connection
with regulations issued by the
Boston city authorities in co-ope-
ration with the state department
of vital statistics.
The regulation of Assistant
Registrar Joseph A. Cahlan
whereby certain cantors were re-
fused authorization to perform
marriage ceremonies, called forth
the protest of the Cantors' Asso-
ciation. The association has re•
tained counsel to tight the issue.
A special conference to deter-
mine the status of those who are
entitled to perform marriage cere-
monies and to bring more clarity
SG the definition of the statute
covering the subject under the
laws of Massachusetts was called
by a number of leading congrega-
tions affiliated with the Associa-
tion of Congregations of Boston.
The matter is of particular inter-
est since the interpretation given
to the Massachusetts statute by
the department of vital statistics
might call into question the legal-
ity of marriages performed in the
past. Rabbi Harry Levi of the
leading Reform temple, Rabbi
Louis H. Epstein, Rabbi 11. II.
Rubenovitz, Bernard W. Marcus
and Moses Mishel, president of the
Association of Congregations, par-
ticipated in the discussion.
The law here provides: "A
marriage may be solemnized in
any place within the common-
wealth by a minister of the gospel,
ordained according to the usage
of his denomination who resides in
the commonwealth and continties
to perform the functions of his
office; by a rabbi of the Israelitish
faith, duly licensed by a congre-
gation of said faith established in
the commonwealth, who has filed
with the clerk or registrar of the
town where he resides a certificate
of the establishment of the syna-
gogue, the date of his appointment
thereto and of the term of his en-
gagement."
Mr. Cahlan called a meeting at
the City Hall of those interested in
this problem but adjourned the
conference after an agreement was
reached that a special committee
should be formed to make a sur-
vey of the existing conditions and
submit recommendations to the
department of vital statistics.

Mrs. A. C. Lappin, who, with

Mrs. Lappin was anxious to
send her children to school and

they did not know Italian. With
the aid of a tutor they finally

Finally Mrs. Lappin was direc-

acknowledging the many messages
of condolence which were sent to
me by my numerous friends during
the hour of my berievement.
The fact that my wife Sarah was
loved and respected by so many
people, the fact that her charitable
and educational work is being ap-

proves the value of good work.
The loss of such a dear soul is
very great, and I shall endeavor to
devote from now on all my time to
the educational work which to both
of us was considered of paramount
importance.
In this I hope to find seine com-

After spending several years in Neu. York,
deroting my entire time to the study of rut-
ting felt hats to harmonize with the features
of the individual, I feel that the opening of my
Shoppv on 1.'eb•uary 25 will be a matter of
unusual interest to those women who are al-
ways seeking "smart" and "different" hats to
rillTespond frith each gown, suit or cart. I am
spliciotizing in felt hats only, because fashion
demands it for every occasion. Remember that
each patron will receive my personal atte-fitian.
