THE JEWS AND SUNDAY.


Detroit, Mich, July 2.-The Sabbath
question, one Of the most important
matters now before the Jewish peo-
pie, was taken up at yesterdays SEES
sion Of the central conference of
American rabbis. Rabbi ]. Voor-
sanger, of San Francisco, chairman
Of the Sabbath committee, appointed
at the last meeting to consider all
phases of the Jewish, Sabbath and the
question of changing 1t from Sabbath
to Sunday, presented tho report of
the committee. The committee after
most careful consideration decided
that it had no Jurisdiction to recon-
mend anything in the nature OF legis-
lation looking toward any change and
declared that the conference was in
competent to legislate any funda-
mental Jewish institution out Of ex-
istence. They recommended the Gre
alton of a national conference COM
posed Of rabbis and laymen, consti-
tuting an authority to which all rit-
ual and discipline questions might be
referred. The commission also re-
ported that while historically they
could not find any argument to de-
clare a change from Sabbath to Sum
day schismatic, they would prefer to
relegate so important question to
another future authority properly
constituted to decide 1t.

A BAD PffP|NG TOM
Mingled With the Girls in
Their Dressing Room.
AT ann ARBOR UNIVERSITY
Was Able to Secure Admittance With
the Aid of a Coed-Was
Dressed as Negroes.
AT ann ARBOR UNIVERSITY

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. 4.-Uni-
versity circles are torn with scandal
which has already resulted in the
peremptory dismissal of an upper
classman and coed whose names VIII
not be revealed by President Angel
or Dean Jordan.
The offense was the admission of
the man to a dressing room where 300
girls were arranging their costume for
a fancy dress party given by the Wo-
mans League of the university. Many
of the girls at this party, which was
supposed to be strictly private and for
women only, were dressed as boys and
they and their friends are Mortified
by the knowledge that a male specta-
tor was admitted to the dressing room
and witnessed all their antics.
Much latitude is granted at these
parties and men are strictly prohib
tied. Just before Thanksgiving recess
the league gave a party and an upper
claSSman, disguised as a negreSs, gain
ed admission, accompanied by one of
the goods. In the course of an hour
or SO suspicion rested on the cOlored
woman, who spent entirely too much
time in the dressing room, and she
was summoned into Dean Jordan's
office. Mrs Jordan demanded the re-
movaI of the head gear worn by the
negress and discovered the impersOna-
ton. She then took the mans name
Il
The coed who brought him to the
hall was called and closely quizzed
with the result that the entire matter
was reported to President Angel and

LOCAL OPTION VICTORY
Bitter Root Valley Declares For the
Cause of Temperance.

MISSOULA, Mont, Dec. 4.-Dis-
patches from Hamilton, Mont, give
news to the effect that the local option
cause in Ravali county and the famous
Bitter Root valley has carried. This
is the first county in Montana, and
one of the first in the northwest, to
declare in favor Of local option, and
today's declaration of the point comes
at the end of a vigorous campaign Of
several years duration. During the
past month there have been many
meetings in the different towns Of the
valley and prominent speakers upon
the dry platform have appeared be-
fore the people. The little town of
Stevensville, where a temperance
union has been at work for some years
helped largely to swell the vote in
favor of the movement, and in fact it
is the vote of Stevensville that as
sures local option in the valley.
There are three precincts to be heard
from. These precincts are small, and
with a plurality of 11S votes the victory
is conceded to the local option people.
This is indeed a great victory for
the temperance cause. While the
vote was very close, people general
ly are quite we'll satisfied with the re-
suit. In Hamilton the largest town
in the valley, with a population of
1900, seven saloons will be forced to
GO out of business. In Stevensville
with population of 400, two large sa-
looms will be closed. There are few
other small towns. Altogether about
20 saloons will be closed, and the
movement will affect a bailey 10
miles in length.

crooked work has been going on IN
more particularly during the past
year. These men have kept the grand
jury matter quiet. 1t is said they
aimed to spring the subject suddenly
as an anti election measure, although
they avow city politics has nothing to
do with bringing the matter up at the
present time. 1t could not be learned
for some time today who was at the
back of the movement, but by this
evening the information leaked out
After All Offenders.
The petition, it is said, calls for
thorough investigation into all the af-
fairs of the city and county. AS
consequence, some of the present city
officials are quaking in their shoes. 1t
is openly charged on the streets that
the water company bought its way
into the favor of the council, which
passed the franchise ordinance.
Whether it has is doubted by the con-
sentative business men, and some of
the most prominent men VIII nave
nothing to do with the fight now go
ing on between those who are in and
those who are out.
The local political situation has re-
solved itself into a fight against the
Yakima Water Light & Power COM
pany, which company secured an ex-
of it's franchise a few months
ago to 20 years, with II years yet to
run on the old franchise. 1t is claim
ed that this franchise was secured by
collision and fraud, and it is on this
that the movement for a grand jury
was started.

TO GUARANTEE CIRCULATION
Fairbanks Would Have Canal Bonds
Authorized for that Purpose.

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 4.-TO fOrtify
national banks against failure in the
event of recession of the prosperity
wave republican leaders in congress
have devised a scheme in the issuance
of bonds for the construction of the
Panama canal, including, of course,
payments to the canal company and to
the Panama republic. 1t is felt to be
a wise move not to draw on the treas
ury balance any more than is abso-
lutely necessary. The canal is for
posterity, of course, and it is felt to
be only just that the burden should
be distributed through many years.
Although it has been generally I'M
derstood that there would be no ex-
tensive financial bill passed at this
session of congress for political rea-
sons, there nevertheless is strong
desire to make certain alterations in
the existing law governing the conduct
of national banks as a means of re-
lief from threatened conditions Some
of the republican leaders fear if the
wave of prosperity begins to recede
even in a slight degree it might have
disastrous effect upon the nation
al presidential election, unless the eff
feet can be anticipated.
Along with the general plan for re-
lief Senator Fairbanks of Indiana has
introduced a bill to permit national
banks to deposit any bonds to be IS
sued on account of the canal as a ba-
sis for circula ton, the tax on circula-
ton being at the preferred rate of
half cent year the same as on
the new per cent. loan.
1t is believed that practically all
bonds to be issued on account of the
canal would be seized upon eagerly
by the banks so the effect would be
two fold. The canal securities could
be located without the slightest diff
Guilty and the banks would thereby be
induced to put out more notes, thus
increasing the stock of money in this
country and preventing an immediate
drain on account Of the canal

TWENTY-FIVE TODAY
Grand Duke Michael GEL
ebrateS Birthday.
HEIR APPARENT TO THE RUSSIAS
Religious Services Held Throughout
the Russian Empire-Czarowitch
Favorite.
HEIR APPARENT TO THE RUSSIAS

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 4.-Relig-
ious services were held throughout the
empire today in celebration of the
twenty fifth birthday of Grand Duke
Michael, heir apparent to the throne
who was born Noe. 90, o. S. dec. A.,
1873. The services also included
thanksgivings for the czarina's pro-
gress toward recovery
Notwithstanding the fact that he
appears destined to become the car
of all the Russians, the cZarOWitz is
probably the least known publicly of
any of the members of the imperial
family, and it is difficult to realize
that the frail, sickly youth, who was
never expected to reach manhood, is
now twenty five years old.
The grand duke is the third son of
the late Car Alexander III, and as
a youth he gave promise of a useful
future though his elder brother,
Grand Duke George, heir apparent to
the throne, naturally came in for a
larger share of public notice. With
the death of the latter few years ago
and the continued failure of the pres
ent czarina to bear a son, it has be
come more and more a certainty that
the young grand duke will some day
be summoned to sway the scepter of
the vast Russian domains.
He is said by those intimately ac-
Quainted with him to be a typical
Russian in appearance and habits of
mind AS he has grown older he has
likewise grown stronger and more ro-
bust and is said to resemble his father
much more than does the present
car. This resemblance has won for
him a high regard from the Russian
people who have never become recon-
ciled to the idea of being ruled by
a little man such as Nicholas Ii. The
Grand Duke Michael is said to nave
a strong sympathy with the Russian
pire," and it is believed he would push
his country's advantages in Asia and
take a dominant attitude in Europe
should he inherit the responsibilities
of the throne.
AS yet the young grand duke is be
lieved to be heart whole and fancy
free, though rumor has had him be-
trothed to Princess Margaret of Con-
naught and several other of the eli
gible princesses of Europe

are put into cold storage, they are i'm
mediately placed into the pickle or
brine" where they remain from six
to twelve hours. The brine watts are
on the ground floor, as the building
consists of one story and the basement
There are a sufficient number of brine
watts to contain two runs through the
canning department. Before the car
cass is placed into the brine it is cut
in two, and the hind quarters are kept
separate, as these two portions of the
animal will not cook together, the
hind part being much larger than the
front portion.
From the brine the meat is placed
into the COOKER where it is allowed
TO remain over two hours. The meat
is cooked by steam. There are two
perforated steam pipes running through
the bottom of the cooking watts, which
will stand a pressure of 60 pounds. No
water is allowed to get into the vat
except what little comes from the
steam. Thus no flavor is allowed to
escape This is the time the meat is
seasoned.
From that the cooked meat is placed
into large pans on a table large
enough for four men to work at. These
employees pick the meat from the bones
the solid meat being put in one place
and the shredded meat in another pan.
In this condition the meat is passed
on to the employees who put it into
cans.
At the time the meat is being
brands are designated. The brands
TO be turned out are: Family" Loaf
'Deviled' and Chile Carne." The
solid pieces of meat are placed in the
Family" brand cans, the shredded
into small cans.
When the meat is placed into the
cans they go through the hands of
four sealers, one to place on the lid,
the next to stick it fast, the third to
completely seal it roughly and the
fourth to put on the finishing touches.
Testing the Cans.
The cans are then placed into boil
ing water to be tested from which
place they are carried into the store
room. They are allowed to stand
there from 20 to 80 days, when they
are again submitted to the hot water
test and if they do not burst they are
ready for the market as soon as they
ned today will be placed on the mar
ket in about 20 days. With the present
capacity the plant can handle about
1900 pounds of meat every II hours.
The rabbits average two and one-half
pounds each.
In turning the American hare into
meat ready for use there is no waste
The company has signed contracts
even for the sale of the hides and feet.
The hides are sold at 2 cents each and
the feet are sold at l cent each. These
two parts of the animals go to a COM
pany in Philadelphia. The company is
installing a plant to crush the bones
and manufacture them into chicken
feed. The Jumps" Of the hare, Mr..
Willis says, will be canned and sold
as medicine for slow people.
After Months of Work.
With the operation of the plant H.
G. Willis has put into execution a
scheme which he has been working on
for the past six months.
When he first presented the idea
people laughed at his scheme and
thought him little off He stayed
with it, until now many are trying to
get into the company. Mr.. Willis,
who is rather an old man, was Sc
cerely injured in a wreck on the o. r.

HARE CANNING BEGINS.
Factory at Echo Starts With IS EN-
poyes.

ECHO, Ore.-With 5000 pounds of
dressed American hare meat in cold
storage the cannery Of the American
Hare Packing & Cold Storage COM
pany was put into operation Monday
morning The canning is being done
under a force of Is men and the en-
tire plant is superintended by Mrs.
ter and manager.
From the start when the whistle
was blown at o'clock in the morn
ing, everything moved without a
hitch. Saturday 206 cans of beef had
been run Off so that the employees
would get an idea of the work and
would know the places they would
have to occupy. Thus everything was
in readiness for the start this morn
ing and during the day 1900 pounds
of the meat had been packed into the
cans.
From the time the rabbits are driv-
en- into the corral they are put through
a rapid process until they reach the
cans. Immediately on the capture four
men enter the corral and short work
is made in taking off their heads. The
bodies are then dumped into a large
wagon box and hurried away to the
cannery. Four men are engaged in
cleaning. The carcass is then thrown
into the dressing room in the basement
of the building, where they are skin

The passing of the rabbit up to this
