nUal congress of the Federation of
Zionists, which opened in that city to-
day, is remarkable for the number
and representative character of those
in attendance. Nearly 500 delegates

called TO order. Despite the close
surveillance under which the Russian

largest representation in point of num-
bers. More than fifty delegates are
in attendance, all of them having come
to Basic very quietly and as tourists.
Austria, Germany, ROumania, France
and other continental countries are
well represented. England ard Amer
lea are not so largely represented by
delegates, a fact which may be attri-
buted to the satisfaction CT the Jews
in these two countries with their pres
ent condition. 1T is worthy of note,
however, that the number of delegates
from America is many times greater
than at the first Zionist congress.

r. E. HARRINGTON DIES
One of AriZona'S Earliest and Most
Prominent Pioneers.

Rufus e. harrington died last night
at No. 746 North Fourth street after
an illness of eight weeks. His all
ment was an affection eli the stomach
which had become chronic. His fu-
neral will take place at the residence
at O'Clock this afternoon. Mr.. Far
1ington was born at Cherry Greek.
Chartauqua county, N Y, March %,
1888. He crossed the plains to Pixies
Peak Colorado, in 1859 He came to
this territory with Governor Good
wins government party in 1853 and
helped to survey and settle the town
site of Prescott. He was present at
The organization of the territory, set
tied near Prescott and was granted a
charter to build a toll road from Pres
colt to Hardyville by the first terri
torial legislature. He built it and
sold when completed to Mr. H Hardy
for 100000. Mr.. harrington was pro-
gressive western pioneer and became
idetifled with this part of Arizona in
1879, first locating at Maricopa. where
he was engaged in the mercantile and
forwarding commission business. In
1883 he moved To Phoenix. where he
has done much for the Improvement

was the frs to embark in the nursery
business and one of the first in fruit
culture in the Salt River valley. He

the foremost promoters of the work
are DIR. Max Nordau, the author of
Degeneration" and Dr. Theodore
Hertzel of Vienna. The present gath
ering is the third of the international
congresses called to promote the colon
cation movement and generally to dis
cuss means for lettering the condition
of the Jewish race. The last congress
discussed ways and means of raising
the enormous sum of money required
to carry out the scheme The conclu-
sion was reached that it will take
nearly $1OO,OO0O00 to carry out the
work and it is planned to raise the
money from the Jews themselves. The
late Baron Hirsch was at one time in
tcrested in the movement. bnt it is
understood that he abandoned it for
what he considered the more practical
scheme. of cOloniZing the Jews in Ar
gentina, Cyprus and other quarters of
the globe
Many of those who have from time
to time manifested enthusiastic in
terest in the scheme have later aban-
doned the idea as impractical. This
however. does not seem tc dampen
the ardOr of the mass of those interest
ed as is evidenced by the fact that the
attendance at the present congress is
larger than at any of the previous
gatherings. The success of the scheme
would mean the colonization of at
least 100000 in Palestine and each
family would have TO be supplied
with land. a horse, a COW and nipple
ments with which to till the soil.

A WELL WOVEN NET
Laid for ThOS. d. BenlefPS
UnSuSpeCfing Feet.
An EIsborafeIY Planned Confidence
Game Involving Triple Forgery,
which Fell JUST Short OF Success.
Advantage OF Being Formal.

An entirely new and bold confidence
game came within an ace of a sue
cessful consumma ton in Phoenix yes
terday and the intended victim, As
sistant United States Attorney Thomas
d. Bennett, is still hopping his brow
and recovering his breath.
The plan of the confidence man was
entirely unfamiliar in this part of the
world and was wholly calculated to
avoid suspicion. On Tuesday morning
Mr.. Bennett received a personal letter
with the name of NJ R. Moore, receiver
of the Tucson land office, attached and
the letter was written on the land Of
fee letter head.
There was enclosed q deed for a
piece of property in Tucson, to be ex-
ecuted by one Otto A. Zeigler, to wo-
man living in Tucson. There was also
enclosed a certified check for $500,
signed by this woman. The letter
stS.sed that Zeigler, who was now in
Phoenix, had lately left Tucson where
he offered she property for $500. The
writer thought he would take less and
instructed Mr.. Bennett to conclude ne
gotiations with him, first offering him
$500, then $3.50, and at last, If neces-
sary, the full amount of the check. The
writer said he had written Ze;gler in
structing him to call on Mr.. Bennett,
to whom he had sent the deed. ZeigleT
was described as u man about five feet
six, having a light mustache and look
ing like miner. The tone of The let
ter was friendly and confidential and
the signature was very good imita-
4ion Of Mr. Moore's peculiar sigma
ture, except in two respects. One was
that it was much larger, and the ether
was the omission of .-he Initials, m.
r. Neither of these defects attracted
Mr.. BENEFITS notice, for the reason
that he had never seen the receivers
signature He entertained nc. the
faintest doubt regarding the genuine
ness Of the letter He deposited the
check in the Valley bank to his credit
and awaited the coming of Zeigler
ZeigEer appeared at Mr.. Bennett's office
yesterday morning. He answered the
description given Of him and said that
he had just received a letter from Mr..
Moore instructing him to call on Mr..
Bennett Negotiations Were begun
vithoU., any delay Zeigler was OBJ
duIate. He rejected Mr.. Benefits
successive offers of $500 and $3.50 for
hte property. He would take nothing
less than $500, which he mad made his
lowest figure at Tucson. AZ length
the terms were agreed to.
Then Mr.. Bennett was saved, but
not by suspicion, for he had rome. Tho
transaction was as regular as any he
had ever engaged N and he would
have bet ten, to one on it.
His professional formality was his
doiiVprPr He had No dOIIht that IPJ0-
Ter was who he said he was, but it is
form for gentlemen unknown to
each other to furnish Identification
