THE PETITION 10 RUSSIA.
To Be Signed by Americans Of All
Religions,
Evening Star Bureau,
701 King Street,
Bell Telephone JOG.


ITO correct a wrong Impression" said
Mr.. Simon Wolf to Star reporter today.
Il wish to state that the petition to be
forwarded to the Gar of Russia will not
be signed by Jews only-Ton the contrary,
the majority of the signatures are to be
of American citizens of other faiths. This
conclusion has been reached owing to the
fact that all over the United States meet
ings were held and resolutions adopted by
American citizens of Christian faith in
dependent of the Jews, and which mani
tested the sympathy that was felt and the
protests manifested In the matter of out
RACES and prosecutions in Russia.
Therefore, the statement published by
the Associated Press and leading papers of
the country that the Jewish petition will
be forwarded is entirely incorrect. 1t is
petition asked for by leading Jews of the
United States In the spirit of international
comfy, and to secure, IL possible, the at
tention OF the czar to a condition that
he may possibly alleviate. In doing this,
the American citizens of Jewish faith would
not, IL they could, endanger any friendly
alliance existing between the two coun-
tries There is supreme feeling to be
patriotic. loyal and faithful American citi-
zens and that the Jew. as a factor, must
be subordinated to the welfare Of our COM
mon country, but they did not see, &or do
they now see, any reason why the kenti-
ment Of this great country should not be
brought to the careful and considerate at

FreehOIders HaHey and Glenn
Tell of Work they have Planned
for Themselves.
STATE LEGISLATURES.
Goth FreehOIders Declare that Scheme
bids Fair to be Success-Mr. Haney
goes to New York aid Probably Wash
ingtou-Mr. Glenn Goes to Albany
Bridge From Foot of Market Street.

Freeholders Haney and Glenn, both
of whom are candidates for renomi-
nation on the Republican and Demo
cratic tickets respectively, have on foot
scheme for the construction of a
bridge across Staten Island sound
from the foot of Market street to Tot
tenvile. Both men declare that such
a scheme is feasible and that thev
have good reasons to believe they
will be successful in their endeavors.
Both freeholders told News repre-
sentative YESTERDAY that they had
been working on the idea for the past
year. They said that they now have
prominent engines working on
plans. The one favored is suspen-
sion bridge, high enough for all YES
sells to pass under, but nothing detin-
ite has been decided.
Mr. .Haney said that last night he
was going to New York in the inter-
est of the bridge and would probably
go to Washington 10 see the War de-
partment about the matter. Mr..
Glenn declared that next week he was
going to Albany to coo about the
proper legislation in that State.
Should such a bridge be built it
would have to be done entirely by
joint action of New York and New
Jersey and both legislatures would
nave to pass measures appropriating
the money. A bridge between the
two States is entirely out of the hand
of the county. Mr.. Glenn says, in
his opinion. such a bridge would
make Perth Amboy the metropolis of
East Jersey.
