EAGLES MEMORIAL
Big Crowd Out To Hear Address
OF Governor Chamberlain.

Fully 200 Eagles and half as many
ladies assembled al Pythian castle on
Sunday to take part In the first MEM
orial services to be held In this city
by the aerie. After the singing of the
opening ode, DR.. H.. / Henderson de-
llvered an interesting and instructive
address, and Herman Wise rendered
why Should the Spirit Of Mortal BE
Proudg" An orchestra Of 1s pieces rem
dered excellent music.
The feature of the service was the
address of Governor Chamberlain. who
arrived in the city on the noon train,
The governors address was purely ex-
temporaneous, but characteristic and
enjoyable. His reference to lodge work
was particularly impressive. During
the course OF his address he expressed
the sentiment that It should be the
aim of members not to oust those who
did not come up to the desired stand
ard. but rather TO elevate them so that
their membership would be desirable.
The governor spoke for about so min
utes and his remarkes We're attentively
listened to.

Found Large Crowd AT End OF
His Trip--Made A Very
Feeling speech.

Washington, May is.--count cassinI,
The Russian ambassador, In d conver-
satlon today with representative of
the Associated Press relative to the
Jewish trouble in Russia, said
There is in Russia, as In Germany
and Austria feeling against certain
OF the Jews, The reason for this un-
friendly attitude Is found in the fact
that the Jews win not work IN the field
Or engage in agriculture. They prefer
to be money lenders. Give Jew couple
OF dollars and he becomes banker and
a money broker. In this capacity he
atkes advantage Of the Russian peas
ank whom he has in his power and ulti-
mately destroys. 1t h when the pa
tience Of the peasant is exhaused that
conflicts between the peasants and the
Jews occur.
The situation in Russia 20 far as the
Jews are concerned is this: n II the
peasant against the money lenders and
not the Russians against the Jews.
There is no feeling in Russia agains
the Jews because of religion"
Continuing the ambassador said:
THE Russian readily assimilates with
the people Of all other races, and II ne
cannot assimilate with the Jew It 10
apparent that the fault must tie with
the jew and not with the Russian. 4
