Anumber OF Jews OF this city hired tho
labor L ceum OF Brooklyn q few days ago to
hold meeting there on Tuesday night. and
when they got thore found the place sur
rounded by 100 policemen. who had instruc-
lions to alow no one u enter the hall, IL vas
hRreat surprise to these people, and naturally
they were highly Indignant II WAS by lder
OF the Police Uomml Ssloner, who acted alter
eonsulta'io lon with the Mayor aid tie CORPORA
lion Counsel. that these people were prevented
from holding their meeting. What caused
the Mayor to take this stop, It f. said. was
tran.latiou OF u circular hich had been sued
by the rionecrs Of Liuery," in which 1; was
announced that the meeting was for the pur-
pose of ridcuinR the jewish holiday Iom
Kppur. and hat speeches rotating to the use
Of dynamite and powder would be made. II
what these people say is true. the Mayor and the
other officials have been to some extent i'm
posed upon, and an outrage. which tho people
OF brooklyn should be ashamed Of. committed
against a body of men who in the eyes Of The
law were inofIensive.
When 1t was announced that Hcrr Most
would speak at this meeting sto.m Of protest
arose among The religious Jews, both orthodox
and reformed. Committees were sent to the
Mayor 10 ask him 10 prevent the meeting
They told him what it's object was and what
the substance of the circular was. but tho
Mayor although he sympathizei with them,
could not see how the law gave him power to
do anything in the matter. He suggested,
however that translation of the circular bo
brought to him with aftdavits. act
ting forth that the proposed meeting
would be a disturbance Of the public
peace, and be promised to do what he cCu d
In the matter. Tho Rev. DR.. Maurice Fried

Brooklyn. made such an aiIidavit and append
Cd to II a translation purporti ng G. contain the
most violent portions Of the circular. 1t was
upon this that the order was given not TO allow
the meeting to be held. The anarchist Jews
now say that there arc sentences in this trans
lation which DO not appear in the circular and
that 1t is these sentences which are the most
violent and iuflammRtory. The translation
was published in Yesterdays Sun. and tis
here given again. The words in italics are tine
ones which they say were malciousIy inserted
