A hope of discovering in the land registry at Constantinople proof that the Natanya colony of B’ne Benjamin, named in honor of the venerable American philanthropist, Nathan Straus, belonged to the Moslem Wakf, is expressed in the Arab paper, “El Arabia.”

While the paper hopes that the finding of the proof will void the sale of the property making up the Natanya colony it is learned here that there is no real danger of such a thing coming to pass as the deeds to the property are all in perfect order.
