tie Christmas holidays on December 23,
1897, and saw Falk the same day. That
on December 80 they went TO house on
Indiana Avenue and stayed together that
night. On the following evening Falk re-
moved her to his place of business on
Eleventh Street between E and + Sire Is

night of December 81, 1897. And, that
Falk and the complaining witness were
there found together b. the girls parents

The first witness called was the Rev.
Edward Huber a minister of the gospel,
who testified to having married MaXimilian
w. Falk and Mimi NJ. Dante, of Was in J
ton, d. c., in Baltimore, Md, on December
So 1891
The next witness was Hattie Minnie
Dawson, the complainant
Miss Dawson. without hesitation, told
Straightforward story Of her relations with
Falk. She also stated that Falk told her
he was a married man and that his wife
was suing him for divorce.
On cross examination Miss Dawson ad-
mitted that her testimony in the Police
Court in relation to the matter was not
wholly true. She said in explanation Of
this that she was greatly under the infiu-
ence of Falk and that he had told her not

the Jewish people a national spirit and
forming a Judean monarchy or republic
with its parliament in Jerusalem and its
representation in foreign capitals, the
present agitation makes for the develop
ment of a country which is but a shadow
of its former self, and which will gener-
ously respond to modern influences. The
Sultan seems quite disposed TO grant rail-
way, harbQr, and other franchises, and it
is possible that the new Jewish Colonial
Bank, the organization Of which was de-
cided upon in Basel, will be permitted,
under certain guarantees, to play an inn
portant part in the industrial advance
ment and growth OF Palestine. The move
ment is furthermore bringing out new
qualities in the Jews residing in Palestine.
They are no longer content with studying
the Talmud and living on charity, but are
waking 10 the fact, as the Hebrew would
OF God.
1T should not be inferred from state
ments here made that peace and prosperi-
ty have suddenly become the lot of the
Jews in Palestine. Only few days ago

informs me that a Jewish colony situated
not far from El Mzerib Ton the caravan

entity attacked by predatory Bedouin
tribes. The settlers were all driven away,
their gardens and crops destroyed. Even
a road built by the Jews to connect their
frontier colony with older ones in Galilee,
west Of the river, was ar least partially
obliterated. Taxes are more oppressive
than ever, officials are corrupt, and p-o-
hbiJiye measures regarding immig. alton
are still in force, although inadequate.

AN IRREGULAR CONDITION
Wild Specuiations in the Early
TrHnsnctiOns-BOOm in Rail-
road Shares.

New York, Jan. 23.-The stock market
opened in a perfect hurly burly of excite
ment. Prices covered range of several
points in many instances, advancing and
declining with equal violence. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad rose over five points, and
Pan Handle, after a rise of over II per
cent broke rapidly eight points.
Canada Southern rose over four points.
General Electric advanced nearly four
points. The wildness of the market contin-
ued without abatement.
After the early transactions irregularity
was general. Government bonds unchang-
ed
No such extraordinary movements in
prices have been witnessed in years as was
shown in the dealings of the first thirty
minutes. The grangers were comparatively
dull.
Illinois Central was a strong feature of
the higher priced stocks. The industrials
shares under went the irregular move
ments. The wild movements that took
place in various quarters of the market,
plainly served TO unsettle speculative CON
fidence and the whole market was weak
ened by II O'Clock.
The London market for American stocks
was reported active and excited.
At noon the stock market was heavy
prices being down by from fractions to 2

STATUS OF JEWS
in PALESTINE
INCREASE IN THE POPULATION
Report From the American Consul
at BEerut-Indifferent Success of
Moses MonteGore's Plan.

The Jews in Palestine is the subject Of
an interesting report 10 the State Depart
ment from United States Consul G. Bic
Ravndal, al Beirut, which was given out
for publication today. The report says
that in view of the impetus given the Iii
onist movement by the Second Zionist
Congress, held al Basel. in September. and
also by the Palestine journey of Emperor
William III, the present status of Jews in
Palestine becomes q matter of general in
terest.
Out of total population in Palestine
of some 100000 souls. about 10000 are
Jews as against il 900 twenty years ago
In Jerusalem there are %, 600 Jews, half
OF whom have immigrated from Europe
and America and are called Aschkenazim
10 distinguish them from the Oriental Is
raelites the Sephardists. Nine hundred
and sixty families, numbering about 5000
souls, inhabit the twenty-five Jewish col
onies in Palestine which have been found
ed and subsidized by Europeans t.
Baron Edmond de Rothschild, represeI Z
the Alliance IsraeliIe Uniyerselle; the rest
by the Jewish Colonization Association and
by the Odessa Company.
The idea OF gathering in Palestine
homeless Jews scattered all over the globe
was championed in the forties by Moses
Montefiore, but with indifferent success.
In the eighties however, the immigration
of Jews to Palestine assumed significant
proportions OF the twenty-five present
colonies, the Jacob Memorial is the larg-
est, supporting more than ] 600 souls. II
boasts a graded school five teachers), q
synagogue etc, and 1, 4,000 acres OF land un-
der cultivation, on which are raised fruit
(chief7y grapes), honey, and mulberry
leaves, the rearing Of siikWorIas being d
leading industry.
The First to Zion is another quite i'm
portant colony. owning 2.o00 acres of land.
Some forty two-storied stone dwelling
houses greet the eye of the approaching
stranger: also a schoolhouse, with He
brew library a synagogue and Z hospital.
One million five hundred thousand vines
and 25, 600 olive, almond orange, and null
berry trees belong to this colony, which
also possesses famous wine cellars.
The Hope of Israel a mile beyond
Yafa in the plains Of Sharon, is perhaps
best known for its agricultural school, in
which 100 or more pupils are taught gar
dening. Recently, high school for jew
ish girls was established at Yafa.
The Head Corner Stone, amid the hills
beyond Tiberias. with snow-capPed Hermor
in the background, is another quite pros
porous Jewish colony in Palestine. Being
near the source of the Jordan, water is
plentiful; and its situation. high up above
the level of Lake Gennesareth, insures faiT
climatic conditions.
In the Door OF Hope, dairy farming is
proftably followed and experiments made
in tea planting. This colony is said to
have LOCO 900 vines.

The evening times., 1899-01-23

The appearance of the stock market this
morning was very suggestive OF the near
ing Of the end of the bull movement. The
first half hour on the exchange was one
of crazy fluctuations of to 20 points,
with brokers refusing to take small orders
ana unable to execute even large ones
within point or more of the ticker quo
taticn. The ticker was fifteen minutes be-
hind the exchange, and people in Washing
ton and even in New York did not know
what was going on with any accuracy.
The furry was caused by factors easy to
understand and which ordinarily would
not be in the least hurtful. The public
had ready for the opening orders to pur-
cnase perhaps hundreds of thousands of
shares. Brokers probably allowed prices
to go up more rapidly than even these large
orders warranted, on the theory that the
public should be put in at the top. AS
soon as the first rush of buying has sub
sided there was an equally sensational re-
action everywhere nearly. Thus it hap
pened that people who had left orders Sat
urday night to be executed at the opening
found that they got in four or five points
above Saturdays close. Within few mo-
ments, then on the reaction there was
enough drop to wipe out any three point
margin man.
1t is not easy to make any prediction as
to the course of the market this after
noon. After the drop many believed that
the conditions were favorable for a good
rally and continuance of the upward
movement. This Is probably what will
happen, but even if a good advance does
come it is easy to see that the public is
now in dangerously reckless mood, and
that the wreck may come any day. An
other such furry might carry the market
down a few points further than this, and
with the drop well started it would be
very hard to stop it. 1t would be much
the best thing for the health of the market
If reaction of five to ten points could be
accomplished. The weak people would be
wiped out and the way would be cleared
then for a continuance of the upward
movement. Nevertheless, the very craze of
the public to buy stocks which menaces the
market may, it is realized, prevent any
break for some days to come.
The stocks which had the most sensa-
tional advances and declines were Par
Handle and Canada Southern. Pan Handle
climbed twenty points in as many minutes
and then lost eighteen points In an ever
shorter time. Canada Southern went VI

Maximillian W: Falk was put on trial
on the charge of adultery today in Crimi-

The crime of which the defendant is
charged was committed in this city on tie
last three days of the year 1897, and the
victim is Hattie Minnie Dawson, whose
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Dawson, re
side in this city.
The story of the crime as told TO the
Jury b. Assistant District Attorney Joseph
Shiliington, in brief, is that some time
during the summer of 1897 the comp ain
ing witness met Falk at school CXclr-
sion TO River View. That a short while
after he went to her house and asked her
to go to New York with him. That her
parents became aware of the acquaintance

ten points, and then lost the larger part
of the gain. The factors present in the en-
tire market were accentuated in these two
stocks. The bull pool in Pan Handle came
out yesterday with the positive assertion
that there was to be violent advance in
the stock, asserting that some claim on
the Pennsylvania Railroad would make it
impossible TO keep the stock down The
public was ready this morning with an
avalanche of buying orders. Canada South

probable that they may be now put up

surely.
