Presi- dent J, De Camp of the Western Insur- anee Union, addressed the meeting at to- night s session.

 Cincinnati, O., Sept. s.--The Board of Delegates of Union American Hebrew congregations, Simon Wolf, president. and Leo Wise .secretary pro tempore. today Issued the following:
 "The resolutions, adopted by the Polish Americans at St. Lomentius Catholic Church in Philadelphia declared that Leon Czolgcsx, the assassin of President Mckinley is a Hebrew by birth
 "In refutation of this statement we refer to an interview with Rev. Benedict Rosfnski. of Cleveland, pastor of st. stanisiaus Catholic Church. Rev. Rosin- ski says that as far back as four years ago he asked Cxolgosz for a contributicn to the church and was surprised at his refusal to give it.
 Tn that interview the csoigosz family Is spoken of as having lived In Cleveland for fifteen years past. We do not in the slightest degree desire to insinuate that the Catholic Church is In the ren1ctest degree responsible for the dastardiv act for tho mIscreant Cxolgosz. for neither that church nor any other that we know of inculcates murder and treason into It's adherente."

 Free governments may be overthrown. but they cannot be reformed by those who violate the commandments Thou shalt not kill
 Under government like ours. every wrong can be remedied by laws and the laws are in the hands of the people themselves. Anarchy can be neither ex- cused nor tolerated here. The man who proposes to right Q public wrong by talk Ing the life of a human being makes him self an outlaw and cannot consistently appeal to the protection of the govern ment which he repudiates. He invites q return to a state of barbarian In which each one must at his own risk defend his own rights and avenge his own wrongs.

Says the President Should Recover
 Rapidly.

MIiburn, House. Buffalo. Sept. 9.-Dr. P. M. Rixey said tonight regarding the distinguished patient:
 q an not a specialist In abdominal surgery, buC from general knowledRe of gunshot wounds I can say that the only possibility of complications was by blood poisoning or peritonitis, and that I consider both now a very remote prob ability. Peritonitis might set in as a but up te this time, a time beyond the usual standard record, not the slightest symptom Is manifest There is not the slightest evidence of blood poisoning As to the bullet not yet extractor. I do not believe we need worry about that. The presumption Is that 1t lodged somewhere Tn the muscles of the back. Pursuing natural courses 1t would be cncrusted and cut off from possible harm. There will be no attempt to extract the bullet at present. Neither will there be any opera ton for its removal at present see no reason why the President will not recover rapidly"
