The Jewish outlook., 1904-09-16

Ihe biennial session OF Jne NdIlolldi
Conference Of Jewish Charities was held
in New York. Interest centred chiefly
in the day on the East Side, when by
visits to the institution there and general
inspection Of the quarter delegates from
other cities were shown the overcroWded
conditions and the need for cooperation
in the work Of the removal committee.
This work has gone on increasingly, the
number Of removals from New York dur
ing 1903 having been 1925, as compared
with 3,2O9 during the preceding
twelvemonth. The total number Of re-
movals from New York made by the so
ciety in it's three years Of work now ag-
gregate 10000 In the face of the tre-
mendous number Of arrivals this would
seem useless but for the thought that
those established elsewhere will serve to
attract their relatives and friends to the
same places and thus ultimately secure
the diversion of a considerable number
from New York.
The tendency towards a resumption
of agricultural pursuits has been more
marked, although it cannot be said to
have reached an epidemic stage. The
Hebrew Colonial Society of Maryland,
an organization Of Russian tailors living
in Baltimore, has bought considerable
tract of land near that city, and its
members contemplate carrying on their
work there in conjunction with tilling
the soil. A similar spontaneous move
ment is on foot at Pittsburg, and yet
another in Texas AS these were all I'M
dertaken at the initiative Of the people
concerned they held forth far more hope
of success and of duplication by others
than had they been set in motion by
charitable or semi-charitable organiZa-
tions.
With the growth and dispersion Of
population in America synagogues have
been established where few years ago
Jews were unknown, and over forty
houses Of worship were dedicated during
the year The Union Of American He
brew Congregations is organizing circuit
preaching under the dictatorship of
Rabbi Zepin. Several new Jewish news
papers were launched and one monthly
magazine was reorganized and made into
a valuable addition to the list Of period
ical publications. The American Israel
ite celebrated it's semi-centennial ami
versary. The establishment of the Voice
of Sinai at Calcutta, the only Jewish
paper in India, bears testimony to the
widespread scattering of Jewish people.

lice guards we're necessary to keep the

IN THE PLAYHOUSE OF DEATH
Rescuers Are Forced to Walk on Dead to
s4 Extricate Living---Exits Choked With f
Bodies Of Women end Children.


~, Chicago, Jan. Lon the heels Of the
dremen came the police, intent on the
work of rescue. y Chief O'Neill and
Assistant Chief schuettler ordered capA
tains from a dozen stations to bring
their. men, and then they. rushed to
the theater and led the police up the
stairs to the landing outside the. east
entrance to- the first balcony. 80
The firemen. rushing blindly up the
stairs In the dense pail Of smoke, had
found their path suddenly blocked by
avail Of dead eight OF. ten feet high.
They discovered many persons alive
and carried them to safety. Other
ifiremen crawled over the mass of dead
and dragged their hose into the, theater
to fight back the flames that seemed
to be crawling nearer to turn the fatal
landing into funeral pyre. it.s
Passages strewn with Bodies.
Among the elevated passages lead
ing from the foyer to the balcony
were strewn scores of women and
children, who. in the struggle. inside
the doors, had exhausted their strength
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1904-01-08

and who, when the outside and COM
parative safety were reached, were I'M
able to continue to the street and fell
helpless upon the marble floor. Some
were deau when the rescuers reached
them and some still showed signs OF
life. These latter we're hurried to the
street and committed to the waiting
arms of hundreds who had gathered
about the entrance, ready to carry
them to nearby stores and restaurants
and to the police ambulances which
soon began. to arrive.
There are three doors leading to the
main balcony from the front OF the
theater and most of the imprisoned
spectators attempted to escape by way
ST the east one. This door is higher
than either of the others and farther
away from the stage. and 1t is thought
that this accounts for the number that
tried to use it. The fire approaching
from the stage gradually drove them
back to the east wall, where they per-
ished in the frenzied jam.
Women Beaten Down by Men.
Comparatively more men than wom-
en- gained positions anywhere near the
door. According to one man who es-
capped, they climbed over the backs of
the seats, beat down women and chill
dren and even walked over their
fallen bodies. They tore children
from their mothers and threw women
who blocked their way out OF the aisles
On and beneath the seats.
AS soon as the bodies which blocked
the door were cleared away the CHIEF
and his assistants turned their atten-
ton to those who had not been 80
fortunate as to even get near the
doors. Charred and stih In death,
women and children were found appar-
entity In the very seats from which
they had viewed the performance. One
little lad Of about IL years was found
caught between two seats not half
dozen feet from the center door: There
was NO one near him and he seemed
to be one of the few who In avoiding
the rush for the door above fell VIC
inns to the suffocating heat.
Bodies in Galleries Burned Most.
Although there were more people
killed in the main balcony than In the
upper galleries those high up in the
theater were more burned and charred.
Here, as in the lower balcony, the VIC
Inns seemed swept by the hre to the
door nearest the rear wall. Ssats were
torn from the holdings and the rails

wards, where hastily collected extra
forces of nurses and physicians did all
they could to alleviate suffering. Many
had breathed fame and were in the
stupor that preceded death; many had
been scorched from head to foot, and
some died on the way to the hospitals
or shortly after their arrivals.
Never have such scenes been wit
messed in Chicago's institutions for the
care of the dead or the suffering. The
capacities Of many were exhausted long
before all had been taken care Of.

and wagons carrying hundreds of 9TH

while. as tho black wagons, express
wagons, carriages, vans. carts, wagons
for delivery of meat, groceries and mer-
chandise of all sorts, arrived with their
fearful burdens, the crowd surged
around the doors in waves that the po-
lice could scarce withhold and hailed
each new arrival with frantic manifesto
lions of grief and horror. Those In
front strove to get nearer and look at
the faces of the dead as they were car
ried in and those in the rear surged for
ward. The whole human mass, swayed
by common impulse, moved in tide
that almost swept the policemen from
their feet.

 This one promise is enough: Isaiah 58:13-14: "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord honorable, and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words;
