Many of Largest Business Houses of

New York, May 19-Facts have

agency has come into secret knowledge
of the fact that the Judgment debtor

that for a reasonable commission the
debt will be collected with interest
and costs. A fee is collected in ad-
vance, the amount being governed by
the apparent willingness of the cred
itor to have the collection of the debt
attended to. In some cases a large
sum has been paid to have the judg-
ment refiled in court and to have the
claim placed in shape for collecting.
The payment of the fee is the last
heard of the case by the creditor until
a request is made for a report, when
the invariable reply is favorable
progress is being made"
No fewer than 100 of these cases
have been reported to the New York

RABBI LEWINTHAL TALKS.

says Count Cassini's Statement Re-
gardIng Jews Is Misleading.
Nashville, Tenn, May 19.-The ex
planatiOn of the Muscovite antipathy
to the Jews as given out by the Rus
sian ambassador at Washington, is
discredited by Rabbi Isadore Levin
thai, the head of the leading Jewish
congregation in Nashville. DR.. Levin
thai says that in his estimation the
statement of Count Cassini is mis-
leading and certainly devoid of the
real facts.
His statement regarding the Jews
in Germany and Austria has nothing
to do with the question in Russia, -
continued DR.. Lewinthal ''It is well
known that if the Russian Jews were
to embrace the faith of the Greek Cath
olic church their prosecutions would
cease. In that case, Russia would
never permit mob to han a hair on
their heads. much less their children
Count Cassini accuses the Russian
Jews Of not being agriculturists. This,
again, is contrary to the facts Mr..
Arnold White, in his Modern Jew,
shows the contrary to be the case and
no one will, or can, accuse Mr.. White
of sympathizing with the Russian Jew
THE cry against the Russian Jews
that they are not agriculturists is
equivalent to charging a man with
the inability to swim when he is forci-
bly, prevented during the whole of his
life from entering the water
ut will readily be seen that Count
Cassini's statement is not borne out
by facts, and l have not the least
doubt but what the same has been die.
