ALL INDEBTEDNESS
 TO BE WIPED OUT
Enthusiastic Movement Started
 by Congregation Emanuel.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT
Nearly Four Thousand Dollars. Half the Necessary Amount, Raised in Few Minutes-Liberal Re-
 sponses to Appeal +

At meeting of Congregation Emanuel held last night immediately after the regu- lar Friday night. services, an enthusiastic movement was started to pay off the fde3t of the congregation and with less than one hundred and fifty persons present, almost half the necessary amount was raised.
 It had been rumored for several days that an important meeting would be held and many were under the impression that dissension existed among the members or that some other serious matters would oe up for consideration. Special notices were sent out and a number responded.
 During Rabbi Newfield's discourse he took occasion to refer to the debt of the congregation the consideration of a means by which it could be paid, he said. was the business which had prompted the call.
 Most eloquently he referred to the strug- gle that was being made to make ends meet and especially to the work of the women, without which the trustees would have been. in even worse straits.
 As a matter of pride he said it was the duty of every member of the congregation ito assist in the work.
 In conclusion he stated that he would feel sorely disappointed if a movement was not started to eliminate the indebtedness.
 The Meeting
 The meeting was called to order by B. Steiner, president of the congregation, who briefly stated the object of the meeting. The bonded indebtedness he stated was $7,0OO, while a floating indebtedness of $s50 was hanging over the trustees as the result of recent improvements on the temple. He referred briefly to tn work which had been done under his administration, and pointed out the necessity for prompt action. The members, he said, had toeen called together to counsel as how best to relieve the con- gregation from debt.
 A. Slaughter was of the opinion that the time was not opportune for the considera- tion of the question.
 M V. Joseph, chairman of the finance committee, gave his hearty endorsement to the movement and eloquently did he urge that steps be taken, without delay.
 Other congregations in the city, he said, had paid off their debts, and there was no reason that Congregation Emauel should not do likewise.
 MT Rotholz also spoke on the subject and was followed by Louis Gelders who started the movement by subscribing $50. Others followed his example, and in less than thirty minutes nearly 4,O00 had been subscribed towards the fund.-
 It was stated that the payments could be made in cash or in six monthly instail- ments, and a committee was appointed to call on the other members of the congre- Gationl
 Sig. Steiner spoke in opposition to the movement from a business point of view, giving as his opinion that a debt of $7 600 was not a burden

Judge John Grace expresses himself in
favor Of park coursing as against cours-
ing in the open He says trials in the
Cren depend too much on luck. that a
strip of sandy soil or thicket of brush
often decides course, while in the parks
the chances are more even. Ii is rather
peculiar that a two-lninute course in
park takes more out Of a dog than
four minute course in the open The
fact is that American hares in the open
are simply too good to furnish good
trials; the dogs cannot keep near enough
10 them to show their working abilities.
4 good course in the open consists usual
~ Of three or four turns in the first half
mile, then perhaps mile Of a stern
chase', then either a lost hare or a few
more turns, and kill or escape. In the
parks the dogs are always close to
treir game. and run harder in cOnsc-
quence. in the monentary expectation Of
being able to kill. The fact that in the
PARKS the spectators see every move of
the race, while in the open they usually
see only the beginning, is Important

merit Of the trial.
