AMERICAN AID FOR DREYFUs.
Contradiction of the Report That
Funds Were Being Raised Here.

1t has been reported and the rumor
widely circulated that the Jews in this
country are making an organized effort to
assist in some way the unfortunate Cap
tain Dreyfus. The story as printed in
several papers states that the movement
is secret one and that the headquarters
of the general committee are in Washing
ton.
A prominent Jewish attorney when seen
today most strenuously denied the truth
fulness of the rumor. He further said
that no such plan was even contemplated.
Contrary to the general belief" said the
attorney, "Dreyfus, although of Jewish
birth, is not believer in the Jewish faith,
and has accepted the Protestant religion"
Several independent efforts to aid the
unfortunate captain have, however been
made in various sections of this country.
In Atlanta the adherents of the Jewish
religion are now engaged in raising funds
with which to purchase magnificent
sword to be presented to Dreyfus In
Richmond several meetings have been
held and plans submitted to aid the for
.mer prisoner of Devils Island. 1t has
been suggested that Dreyfus be invited to
live in this country and that a home be
presented him. This plan has already
been inaugurated, but with what success
is not known.
