SHEPHERD MEMORIAL
COMMITTEE MEETS

mortal should be expedited as much as
possible, and with that idea in view
it is likely the committee named will
include dozen or more of the city's
most influential citizens.
Mr. John S. Wilkins was elected vice
chairman of the committee without
dissenting vote.
Mr.. Charles J. Bell, OF the American
Security & Trust Company, was unani-
mously elected treasurer of the mem
orial committee. and remttances of con
! tributic 8 may be made to him as we'll
as 10 members of the finance commit
tee. To further facilitate the collec-
! tion of funds, il has been arranged that
the daily newspapers of the city shall
receive and acknowledge contributions.
S1,7o2 Already Received.
No consideration was given to the
form of memorial 10 be erected, as that
money raised. Thus far 1,702 in vol
untary contributions has been received.
Most of these subscriptions were re-
mitted to the Commissioners or to the
local newspaper offices before it had
been officially determined, by the action
of the District Commissioners. Bust
ness Mems Association, and other or
ganizations of public character, that
a memorial would be erected. The
friends of the late ex-governor and the
public had no other way of showing its
gratitude for the works of improvement
that We're wrought in Washington under
his reign at the head of the district gov
ernment. With remarkable unanimity
of expression the memorial idea was
voiced by Washingtonians when tha
news was first received of the death
in Mexico of the ex-governor.
Popular Subscription Plan.
Popular sub :cription is the form de-
cided upon for the raising of the funds |
necessary to erect the memorial. 1t |
has been agreed without dissent that |
the District is the debtor, and the idea |
of partially lifting this obligation by |
raising in some public place a monu
ment to his memory met with instant
favor.
The District Commissioners, the Busi-
ness Mems Association, the board of
trade, and all other public organization:
were prompt in taking action following
the announcement of the death of Gov
ernor Shepherd Resolutions express
ing regret and deep sorrow were adopt
ed. and in all the debt of the District
was made apparent. That it is the duty
of the people to erect memorial was
made clear. The harmony of this pub

a short time a monument or some suit.

TALK OF IITTLEFIELD
FOR SPEAKERSHIP
Strong With Younger Element in the
House-Local Comment and
Speculation.

Seldom has political incident aroused
so much comment in Washington as the
voluntary withdrawal of Speaker Hen
derson from the Congressional race. 1t
was the absorbing topic Of conversation
yesterday in hotel lobbies, in the de-
partments, clubs and elsewhere where
men in the official life OF the Capital
congregated. Those who best know the
Speaker appreciate his irmness, realize
that it is futile 10 talk of reconsider
alton OF the step he has taken, and de-
clare that he has burned his bridges
behind him. Thev believe that he would
decline to run even if the convention
called to name his successor were TO
again tender him the nomination by ac
clarlation. His decision is final. in the
opinion Of his best friends and because
of this there is the greater reason for
regret.
Speculation as to Motive.
Speculation has been rife as to the
real motive which induced the Speaker
TO retire from public life at this time,
and half dozen causes have been as
signed. His closest friends, however,
declare that he is perfectly candid and
sincere, and that the reason which he
gave in his letter of declination is am
pie and presents his position exactly.
Secretary Shaw's Views.
Secretary Shaw. who is from Iowa. in
discussing Speaker Henderson's refusal
TO accept the Republican nomination
for Congress in his Iowa district yes
terday said:
Either many newspapers misunder- !
stand General Henderson's position OF |
do. understand him to stand pat on /
the tariff plank of the Iowa platform.
which favors such reyisions as changed |
conditions Llake advisable. In his ad- |
dress TO the Republican voters of the
Third Iowa district, he says
While have been against a gener-
al revision, ! have never been opposed
to making needed changes, and ] am
NOT now
Nor do l understand him to object
TO the antitrust plank, which is in a
different section of the State platform
and which only declares against allow
ing the tariff TO become a shelter for
trusts. II goes no further than inti-
mating that such thing may occur 1t
does not say such q thing does exist.
Commenting on this plank In his ad-
dress, the general says; IT is a bold
declaration that if notifications of the
tariff are required 10 prevent monop-
Oily from sheltering itself under the
wings OF protection then the tariff shall
be modified 10 prevent that condition
Secretary Shaw declined to express an
opinion as to whether the Speaker was
justified in taking the course pursnec {
but he thought 1t was due not onry to

Our Right to Intervene.

The United States offers asylum to
the oppressed of all lands. But it's sym
pathy with them in no wise impairs its
| just liberty and right to weigh the acts
of the oppressor in the light of their
effects upon this country and to judge
accordingly.
Putting together the facts now pain
fully brought home to this Government
during the past few years. that many
of the Inhabitants of Roumania are being
forced, by artificially adverse discriml-
nations, to quit their native country;
that the hospitable asylum offered by
this country is almost the only refuge
left to them; that they come hither un-
fitted, by he conditions of their exile,
to take part in the new life of this land
under circumstances either profitable to
themselves or beneficial TO the cont
munity; and that they are objects OF
charity from, the outset and for a long
time-the right of remonstrance against
the acts of the Roumanian government
is clearly established in favor of this
Government. Whether consciously and
of purpose or not. these helpless peo
pie, burdened and spurned by their ma
tive land, are forced by the sovereign
power of Roumania upon the charity of
the United States This Government
cannot be tacit party to such an in
terrational wrong. 1t is constrained to
protest against the treatment to which
the Jews of Roumania are subjected, not
alone because II has unimpeachab bic
ground to demonstrate against the re-
sultant injury to itself. but in the name
OF humanity. The United States may
rot authoritatively appeal to the stipu-
lations of the treaty of Berlin, to which
1t was not and cannot become a sigma
tory, but II does earnestly appeal to the
principles consigned therein because
they are the principles of international
law and eternal justice, advocating the
broad federation which that solemn cont
pact enjoins and standing ready to lenl
It's moral support to the fulhllment
thereof by its co-signatories. for the act
of Roumania itself has effectively join
ed the United States TO them as an in
terested party in this regard
You will take an early occasion to
read this instruction to the minister for
foreign affairs and. should he request it,
leave with him a copy.

Your obedient servant,

| Mr.. Henderson. but TO his friends that
| he should state his reasons for it in
the clearest manner possible.
Secretary Wilson'S Views.
! Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural
Department, said yesterday that he
could only express his great surprise
over the action of Mr. Henderson Mr..
Wilson stated that the news came to
! him entirely unlocked for and that he
! had no idea what prompted Mr.. Hender-
son to take the step, excepting the rea-
sons given by the latter in his statement
to the voters of his district. Mr.. Will
son declined TO discuss the matter in
detail. saying he did not know the cir
cumstances connected with Speaker
Henderson's action.
Talk of His Successor.
Allowing that the Speakers action is
final, the discussion heard in Washing
ton turns upon his probable successor.
The impression prevails generally that
there will be a new alignment and that
new leaders will arise 10 replace the old
ones, who viii lose prestige by reason
of the loss OF Speaker Henderson, who
has long been a commanding force in
his party in the House. He has been
able to hold down the ambitious young
members by his firmness, and by his
personal magnetism has commanded the
support of those who We're in reality
opposed to him. II is not thought tha
any of the old leaders, unless it should
be Uncle Joe" Cannon. could rally the
old gJl1rd and n in control
1t is considered not improbable that
the closest Administration influence
would favor the selection of Representa-
tive Littlefield of Maine. In the thre,
years that he has been in Congress nc
has come rapidly to the front, and ia
already recognized as a power which
must be reckoned with. IL is certain
that the new and younger element
would crystalline about him. Then, TOO,
he is known TO be in line with the Pres
ident upon the trust question, which Is
one the Republicans intend to deal with.
If all the talk now heard, and eman-4t-
ing chiefly from the President, means
anything.
Democratic Members Elated.
AT the Democratic Congressional
committee there is much Ella
tion over Speaker Henderson with
drawal from the race for Congress. and
its significance Of split in the dom
inant power OF Iowa
Secretary Edwards, OF the commit
tee, said yesterday that in his opinion,
the only explanation for Mr.. Henderson's
action was the realization that he was
beaten by the younger element of his |
party, and his anxiety to get out be-
fore ''all OF his ground went from under |
him. The split in Iowa, Mr.. Edwards |
said, would give the Democrats three |
districts in that State. and the effect |
would be so widespread that .he Demo-
Gratis would carry fifteen districts in
other States

Granting that. in better and more

ditions will eventually change for good,
such emigration is necessarily for a
time burden TO the community upon
which the fugitives may be cast. Self
reliance and the knowledge and ability
that evolve the power of self-support

time, avenues of employment must be
opened in quarters where competition Is
already keen and opportunities scarce.
The teachings of history and the expert

tious citizenhood. Nc class of imnil-

ASKS TOLERATION FOR
ROUMANIAN HEBREWS

DO wrongs repugnant to the moral
sense of liberal modern peoples, are not
so directly in point for my presnt pur
| pose as the public acts which attack
the inherent right of man as a bread
winner in the ways of agriculture and
trade. The Jews are prohibited from
owning land, or even from cutivating
1t as common laborers. They are de-
barred from residing in the rural dis
tricts. Many branches Of petty trade
and manual production are closed to
them in the oyercrowded cities where
they are forced to dwell and engage,
against fearful odds, in the desperate
struggle for existence. Even as ordi
nary artisans or hired laborers they
may only find employment in the pro-
portion of one unprotected alien to
two .Roumanians under any one en-
ployer. In short, by the GU
mulative effect of successive re-
strictions, the Jews of Roumania
have become reduced to a state of
wretched misery. Shut out from nearly
every avenue of self-suppoft which is
open to the poor of other lands, and
ground down by poverty as the natural
result of their discriminatory treatment.
they are rendered incapable OF lifting
themselves from the enforced degrade
tion they endure. Even were the fields
of education, of civil employment, and
of commerce open to them as to 'Rou-
manian citizens their penury would
prevent their rising by Individual effort.
Human beings so circumstanced have
virtually no alternatives but submissive
suffering or flight to some land less un
favorable to them. Removal under such
conditions is not and cannot be the heal
thy. intelligent emigration of a free and
selfrelant being. 1t must be, in most
cases, the mere transplantation of an
artificially produced diseased growth to
