TOUGH TOWN." SHE CALLS 1T.
Mrs. Nation nm Indiannpolis-Tom Tag
Eart "a Nice Boy

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. July 5.-Mrs. Car
rie Nation was in Terre Haute for a few
hours to-day and visited a number Of Main
street saloons. AT one place the proprietor
offered her a bottle 10 smash, but at other
saloons she was treated with scant cour-
tesy.
Mrs. Nation went in search of the mayor,
and was directed TO a saloon TO find him.
The bartender denied that he was there,
and she began lecturing Mayor Steeg. who
had been keeping quiet. under the impress
sion that he was the proprietor. The mayor
took hold OF her hand and tried to put her
out of the place, at the same time ordering
the crowd out.
Tear out or I'll throw you out" said the
mayor, but Mrs. Nation would not go. She
recognized a reporter as one who had been
with her in her indianapolis visits to
saloons.
"How's the mayor over at Indianapolis? p"
she asked. Does he still own that saloon
IT, the hotel? L do so wish that Tom would
get ii into his head to be chairman of the
Prohibition party and quit his monkey busi-
ness. Toms a nice boy-a nice boy-but he
just won't let go of that saloon. Say.
didn't we have a picnic with him over at
Indianapolis? My. but that's "a tough
town."

Report on whether Jews should
Teach the Religion Of Jesus.

PHILADELPHIA. July 5.-The topic
which. occupied most OF the morning ses-
sion of the Conference of American Rabbits
to-day was one brought before the confer
ence a year ago and which caused consid-
cradle discussion at that time. The SUBJ
ject was whether or not the religion OF
Jesus should be taught in the Jewish the
illogical schools" Last year a committee
consisting OF Rabbis David Phillipson, q.
Deutsch and Joseph Krauskopf were APP
pointed TO consider the matter and report
at this years conference. The following
report was submitted to-day:
"Dogmatically speaking. the position OF
Judaism in respect OF the founder or Chris
tianity is altogether negative as denying
His divinity, though the pivot on which
Christianity revolves. Jesus OF Nazareth,
has no place in Jewish theology. The con-
ception OF Ills historical position and OF His
significance In the development Of religion
is a matter of individual view and con-
~viction. as is also the pointing out and ap-
plication OF the Jewish nature OF many or
the beautiful moral teachings attributed 10
Jesus. but these cannot form a part OF. nor
be Incorporated In any OF the atement
or declarations OF Jewish belief
The report was received with applause
and was unanimously adopted.
