Mourners Following Remains of Rabbi
Jacob Joseph Have Trouble.
New York, July 3O.-The funeral of
the late chief rabbi, Jacob Joseph, was
held here today. After the services
the remains were taken to Brooklyn
for interment at the Cypress Hills Gem
etery. The crush on the streets was
so great that the police reserves had
to be summoned.
While the procession was passing
the works of R. H. Hoe & Co.. corner
of Grand and Sheriff streets, some of
the employees turned stream of water
on several hundred of the mourners
following the hearse.
The act was resented by the mourn
ers, wso threw stones and other mis-
siles at the building, breaking many
windows. The police charged on the
crowd using their clubs freely. A
number of persons are said 70 have
been injured. Ambulances were sum-
moned from hospitals.

TREES
Easily Procured From War
den Ryan's County
Nursery at Snake
Hill.

There are many places along the
Boulevard which could be greatly beauti-
fed by the planting of young trees. To
do this would entail a considerable
amount of expense to the Boulevard
Commissioners, had ttey to purchase
the trees from a nursery man in the ordi-
nary way. An extraordinarily fine op-
portunity to purchase these trees at small
expense now presents itself.
In the grounds around the Almshouse,
at Snake Hill, Warden Ryan has in the
past few years planted from 1000 to
5000 young maple trees and 500 North
Carolina poplars. These are all in a
aourshing condition, and could be easily
transplanted from Snake Hill to different
points on the Boulevard.
If the Boulevard Commissioners would
confer with the Board of Freeholders,
there is no doubt but that they would be
allowed the privilege of taking the trees
at very low figure. The money ex-
pended by the County for the trees
would be paid to the County through the
Board of Freeholders Many of the
parks could get trees from the same
source.
Previous to Warden Ryan's planting
these trees the Hill resembled large
farm, but it now has more of the appear
ance of a well-kept park.
