THRIFT CAUSES THE
UND0ihG Of THE JEWS

London, Oct. 19.-The Daily Mail re-
Gently sent a correspondent TO Rou-
mania 20 investigate the Jewish ques-
ton there, and this morning the pa
per publishes a letter from its repre-
sentative, in which he says that in
Roumania the laws are fair. but there
is crying injustice in their application.
or, rather, in their nOn-application, TO
the Jews. The Jews. he writes, are
prosecuted, not on account of their
religion. but because if they were nat
uralized and treated justly they would
own half the land, and. in short. run"
the country.
The correspondent declares that a
large number of Rogmanian deputies
derive large portions of their incomes
from heavy brides on the condition
that they will help Jews to obtain nat
uraliZation papers.

coroner's jury decided that Silinsky had
committed suicide. Friends of the
dead man declined to accept the YER
dict and. about a week ago. placed
certain information before the district
attorney. City detectives were detailed
to investigate the case. and Devlin's
arrest followed.
The prisoner was closely questioned.
but the authorities decline to state
whether they secured any incriminat-
ing evidence against either Devlin or
Jones. 1t is claimed that at least two
non-commissioner officers, five enlisted
men and one officer. heard Devlin ex-
claim as he rushed from the clothing
room in the barracks Immediately aft
er the shooting: Great God. Jones
has shot Silinsky." Both Jones and
DeVlin were in the clothing room when

Reese Jones make certain incrimi-
mating remarks are under close surveil-
lance. at the request OF the city au-
thorities, pending their examination at

London, Oct. 6.-The Latter-day
Saints gave a concert in the Finsbury
town hall last Saturday evening, pre-
liminary to the conference that was
held Sunday. II was a very success
ful event and attracted considerable
attention. Something more than 500
people, about all the hall would seat
were present. The programme was of
a high order. Much of the success is
due TO the excellent work of Mr.. Ed
win +. Tout and his talented family
who are themselves able TO provide a
good musical entertainment. OF course
Miss Mamie Tout easily won first
honors in the vocal section by her
effective rendering of "Ritorna Winch
tor" from VerdPs Aida" the same
selection that won her the first prize
at her college in July Miss Maggie
Tout sang beautifully ArditPs I'll
Bacio." Though still very young, she
gives promise of great things. Other
members of Mr.. Touts family did
some good vocal work. ard when they
united in an orchestral selection it
was seen that their talent is not con-
fined TO the voice The ~Rigoletto'
quartette was rendered by Miss Tout,
Miss Maggie Tout, Mr.. Tout and Mr..
Shepherd. The latter also sang Rest
full Shadows
Mr.. James Trethewey of Park City,
who has been studying the violin with
excellent success at the Guildhan here
for three years, was heard to good
effect and was called upon vigorously
for an encore.
Mr.. Cecil Montague, pianist. rendered
PadereWskrs HPolonaise Op. 9, NO.
s, and was encored.
The evolutionary part OF the pro-
gramme was in good hands. Miss
Margaret Thurman of Provo gave an
original story OF Utah life which was
highly appreciated. Miss Kathleen
Tempest. one of London's professional
entertainers. rendered "The Dandy
Fifth" and an encore very eff
fectively.
Some London newspaper men were
present, among them the musical critic
OF the Daily Telegraph. In his report
of the concert, under the heading
Mormon Musicians" he says of Miss
Tout:
''She has a remarkably good soprano
voice of rich quality and extensive
range. and her singing of 'Ritorna
Vincitor,' from Aida was marked by
strong dramatic feeling. Though only
II years OF age, Miss Tout is already
a singer of considerable accomplish
ment, and. as she is assured of being
we'll taught, seems likely to make
name for herself"
