In endeavoring to enforce certain
rules of table etiquette upon a fellow
boarder, Mr.. George Hendricks, of
Muncie, Ind, cut the impolite gentle
mans throat from ear to ear with a
razor. This was going too far, for it
worst kind of table manners to cut a
fellow diners throat. 1t not only dis
turbs the general serenity that should
always reign at a we'll regulated din
ner table, but it has a tendency to
muss up the table cloth, disarrange the
cutlery and make the surroundings

Rabbits ADOPT Paper by DR..
Kohler Answering DeIitzsch,
Which Paper Draws Out
Some Dissent.

DETR OFT, Mich. June 30.-A paper
on "Assyriology and the Bible" an an
swer to- Delitszsch on, Babel and
Bible" by Rabbi K. Kohler. Phi. d., or
New York, was the feature of the
forenoon session of the central con-
ference of American rabbis. Rabbi
Kohler who is the PRESIDENT OF
the Hebrew Union College of Cincin-
natl, said:
1.-THE question to us is how a man
like Delitzsch can be SO carried away
by prejudice and passion as to drag
the Book of Books in the dust and i'm
pute to the God of Israel an upright
BUSINESS and sensuality and assigns to
Him horns and a sexual dualism. 1t
is the characteristic sign of the time
that any professor or writer in Ger
many that Graves popularity today
needs but to blow the horn Of anti
Semitism to receive the favor of high
and low. And the innocent blood that
ran the streets og Kishenev may be
traced to such German sham utter
ances. There is little doubt in my
mind that the ultra-conservative
training of Delitzsch made him the
mocker of the Old Testament"
Attacks and Retracts.
The discussion of the paper con-.
sumed the greater part of the after
noon. The remarks In general were
commendatory. There was one ex-
ception. however. and this was the
sharp criticism delivered by DR.. Bar
net A. ELIAS. of Charleston, S. c. His
vigorous sentences for a moment
threatened the calm demeanor of the
gathering. and resulted in DR.. Kohler
interrupting the speaker and demand
ing that he be called to order. DR..
Elias said:
Following up the American Jewish
literature of the last twenty years. one
cannot help being impressed with the
fact that the chief results of the criti-
cism of which Delitzsch is the ex-
FOUNDER, are admitted by leading men
in the Jewish pulpit. DR.. Kohler did
not state what the Jews do believe OF
the Bible"
AS soon as DR.. Elias saw that his
criticism was Objectionable he imme-
diately retracted and added that he
did not wish to cast any reflection on
the paper. which he considered valua-
BILE, scientific literature.
DR.. Kohlers paper was adopted as
official Jewish literature. and copies
will be printed and sent to Emperor
William, before fhom the lectures on
