Jewish Americans.

Fresh public interestin the Amer
lean Hebrew has been attracted by
the recent convention of the Amer,
lean jewish Historical Society in
Philadelphia. The voluminous la
bors of Mr.. Simon Wolf, OF Wash
iDgton, have only recently resulted
in triumphant demonstration Of
the unfailing patriotism of the jew
ish people of the New World. To
quote from critic of Mr.. VOLTS
work, he "has proved beyond cavil
that down to the present day men OF
the Hebrew race and faith have
been counted in the van of the
country's progress and in the fore.
front of it's defense. They have
performed an ample part in the
conquest of our liberties, and have
fully shared in the struggles for the
preservation of our institutions"
The coming of the Hebrew to the
New World, according to the infor-
nation of the Philadelphia Record,
was very early, indeed. He came
over with Columbus. DIR. Moses
Kayserling, the renowned savant Of
Buda- Pesth, has proved that tho
illustrious Genoese navigator had
among his crew in tho three vessels
which sailed from Palos, on August
3, 1892, members OF the race of
Abraham. Ono of these, Rodrigo
Sanchez, a relative of~the royal
treasurer of Arragonian Spain, ac-
companied the expedition as Weed
or, or superintendent, at the special
request of Queen Isabella. The
ship physicians and surgeons were
also Hebrews. Sanchez was the
second to espy the land of the Now
World. Columbus had, in fact,
studied tho astronomical tables of
the jewish scholar zacuto, and land
ing day, Friday, Oct. ~, 1892, was
strangely enough-the jewish
day of Great Hosannas. 1t was
like prophecy of tho new life
which the oppressed Jews were to
find in America, and prediction OF
tho constantly increasing factor
which they were to uecome in the
now Empire of tho West.
The first definite jewish settle
ment in America occurred in Brazil
about 1913. The first within the
United States took place in 1864,
whom twonty-seven jewish emi,
grants from Bahia, South America,
arrived in Nieuw Amsterdam. The
Dutch Governor then was Peter
Stuyvosant, who had something OF
tho Jewbaiter in his nature, so that
future immigrants generally settled
in Newport, Rhode Island.

SHOT AT A WOMAN
Olim Wong Yee Attempts to Pot the Wife Of
Wong Wing

At 4:30 yesterday afternoon there came
near being q murder in Chinatown, and
only to the usual miserably poor shoot
ing of the average Chinese can the fact
that there is not now a case for the coro-
ner be attributed. On Apablasa street
Wong Wing conducts house which
has several female inmates, and it was
at one of these the shot was aimed but
which luckily missed the mark.
Glim Wong Yee is a highbinder and
works as a cook for John e. Platter in
the Baker block. At the hour named
Yee walked into Wing'ss place and with
out word drew long navy Colts from
under his blouse and fired directly at
Wings wife, who was standing near the
door. The revolver was double action
and pulled hard on the trigger, so that
the shot went downward, hitting the
floor.
The woman made a rush into the in
ner room and Wong Wing made for the
street, blowing police whistle vocifer-
ously. Officer Lennon heard both shot
and whistle and was quickly on the spot.
Glim Wong Yee was nabbed and hustled
to the station accompanied by Wing,
who preferred q charge Of assault to
murder The gun was confiscated and is
huge As caliber affair, only one cham
Der being discharged. Yee will be ar
raigned in the police court today

a shuttlecock it hit the city council early

to the committee. Back it bounced
again to the council. and again that dig
nified body heaved it over to the commit
tee. Finally and for the third time it

MUSIC THE MAGNET
Large Audience Listens to the schub. r,
Quartet

Just pure. simple music was the mag
net tnat drew large and thoroughly
edihed audience to Simpson tabernacle
last night, and demonstrated that there
are many Angelenos who love good mu-
SIC, interpreted by those who have,
achieved recognized proficiency in con-
cert singing. Certainly the Schubert
male quartet have reason to be proud of
the reception accorded them by the
music-loving folk of Los Angeles last
night in point of enthusiasm displayed
and the representative character of the
audience present. The Schuberts are q
nappy combination as to tone quality,
their voices blending together most fe-
licitously and possessing all the elements
OF sympathetic assimilation which make
such voice combinations reach the high
ideals of true art. This was demonstrat-
ed very potentially in the opening num-
Der, Cooks Strike, the Lyre," and re-
ceived additional emphasis in the melo-
die charms of the exqusitely rendered
waltz movement which was one of the
notable features of the program. The
arrangement of '"The Lost C7hord' was
likewise an artistic triumph Each num-
Der received an encore, which gave oc-
casion for numerous glees. etc, most ad-
mirably given. Mr.. Battles lyric tenor
was heard to fine advantage in Thine
Eyes" c. M. Wade's baritone in THE
Sands of Dee" Messrs. johnson and
Hollister in their duo made forceful
musical impression. A delightful fea-
ture of this concert was Miss Hughes
harp solo. In the masterly march. "Tri-
umph of Godefroid," with it's grandiose
progressions and suggestive modula-
tions. she demonstrated her high artis-
tic temper. Certainly the musical peo-
rle of Los Angeles should insist on rep
etition of this delightful musical even
ing-one of the best concerts in the mu
sical itinerary of this city for many
months. Below is given the program
in detail as an index of the variety and
pleasing character of the musicale:

FOUGHT ON THE STREET
Emil d'Artois Tackles Pierre 0anee and
Scrap Ensues

A personal encounter that for time
promised a lively scrap occurred yester-
Gay morning on Broadway. between
First and Second, between Emil d'Ar-
tots and Pierre Ganee, editor of the
French weekly, L'Union Novelle. Ganee
was standing with a friend engaged in
reading a letter when attacked by DAT
tots, who struck Ganee several times IN
the face and attempted to wrench away
the cane which Ganee carried. Officer
Singleton happened to be near by and
the muss was stopped before anything
further was done.
Both men appeared in court yesterday
afternoon on a charge of disturbing the
peace. Ganee was discharged, but DAT
tois, as the aggressor, was fined $40,
which was paid. A couple Of weeks ago
Ganee published an article in his paper
rejecting upon the memory of D'Artois'
deceased father and upon himself. For
this D'Artois instituted suit for SLAM
der, the trial of which will come up to-
day before Justice Morrison. D'Artois
claimed that Ganee, when they met on
the street, made face ait him and shook
his stick at him in threatening man
ner, at which he could not contain him
self, and started in to annihilate Ganee.
If Singleton had not been so oppor-
tunely handy D'Artois would probably
have succeeded.
