NO ZIONIST MOVEMENT HERE.
Rev. I. p. Mendes Has Never Favored
ZiOniam.

new l. l.. MendeS Has never FaVOreu
ZiOnism.
Interest in the Zionist movement has
been renewed by the approach of the sec
ond international Zionist conference to be
held at Basic, Switzerland. The federation
of Zionsts of New York city has elected
seven delegates to the conference and some
other American cities are also likely to be
represented.
Savannah, though, will not be among the
number. The Zionist movement has never
taken any hold among the Jewish people
here. Rabbi Mendes from the beginning
has opposed the movement and as no MEM
Der of either congregation of prominence
has fathered a movement of this kind here
the idea of re-establishing the Jews as
separate nationality In Palestine has Sc
cured few, If any, advocates.
Rabbi Nlendes is as much against any
such movement now as he was when 1t
was first inaugurated. He has closely
watched the progress of Zionism, as it is
called, and last night stated that it had
made little Roadway except among dream
ers and those who looked at Ii purely from
theoretical standpoint and never endeav-
ored 10 study it from the basis of practi
cal experience.
A movement to establish poor or OPP
pressed Jews as agriculturalists in Pales-
tAiIe ulty be al right, as IL may dIuellOTdle
the condition of those thus located but the
plan ofsestablishing state there, is, as Mr..
Mendes regards it, folly. 1t is what he
considers an effort to take the future of
the Jewish people out of the hands of God
and attempt to work out Messianic promis-
es in a human way and as man believes
they ought to be carried out. Speaking of
the matter last night he directed attention
to the stand taken at a recent meeting of
the Union of German rabbis at Berlin,
when 1t was declared by
the most learned men of the
empire that efforts TO create a Jewish ma
tional state are antagonistic to the mes
sian.c promises Of Judaism as contained
an Holy writ and in later religious sources.
Judaism, these rabbis declared obliges iIs
followers to serve the country to which
they belong with the utmost devotion and
to further its interest with their whole
heart and all their strength.
Committees have been appointed by the
national organization of Zionists TO push
the work of organizing on Zionistc lines,
and it is quite probable that an effort with
be made later on by some representative
of the movement to awaken an interest
and sympathy for it in Savannah.

GAYS AssAILANT CAPTURED.
First Denied Then Confessed His
Attack on Gay.

Attack on cay.
Jack McGregor was before Recorder
Ravenel yesterday charged with assault
with intent to murder Walter w. GAY,
and was sent to the Superior Court. In
default of bond he was committed to Jail,
and will. therefore, not enlist in Capt.
Kolshorn's company, at least for some
time TO come.
Contrary to what was expected Gay
was much improved after getting over the
shock caused by the struggle with Nc
Gregor, and Will probably be able to join
the company at Griffin shortly. Notwith-
standing he has a severe stab in the left
side and suffered great loss of blood, he
was sufficiently recovered during the 81
ternoon to get on his feet awhile. This
is probably due 20 his strong physique.
McGregOr did not remain around the
restaurant on Bryan street great while
after the fight though il seems he made
no hasty efforts to get away. After he
left the restaurant he went around tie
market, then up ST. Julian street IN the

STANDING ORDER FOR STAMPS.
Collector Wilson Has One on File
and Has Stopped writing.


No stamps came yesterday and the part
of the public that may have been hungry
for them went away unsatished. Deputy
Collector Wilson has a standing order at
Atlanta for more of every denomination
and has stopped writing about it, believ
ing that as soon as Collector Ruclxer
can supply them he will do so.
From circular letter sent out by the
Merchants Association of New York to
the commercial bodies of a number of
cities, it is evident that the test case as
regards the right of express companies to
put the stamp tax on the shippers will
be pushed and is likely to involve a heavy
expense. 1t is suggested by the New York
association that all test cases, such as are
proposed at Savannah and other cities, be
held in abeyance pending the result in
New York. AT the same time the sug-
sestion is made that, as all have COM
mon interest in obtaining a decision, the
expenses be divided among the various
commercial organizations, the New York
association having the matter in hand to
bear whatever proportion OF the expense
that may seem just
