cyclone that made James McInerney
homeless in Indiana Harbor last week

whereabouts might never have become
known to the wife who has just
brought about his conviction.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Members
of the Illinois delegation are inclined to
believe that knowledge of their efforts

out of the White House. They say that
if the news was given out from near
the seat of power it makes things look
happy for the Illinois man. Others in
terested in the matter continue to say,
however. that the President wishes

approval of General Chaffee's letter Of
suggestion that the definite location of

Jews OBSERVE
The PASSOVER

The feast of the Jewish Passover
commenced at shutdown last night and
for the next week the faithful He
brews throughout the world will OBJ
serve the solemn occasion with prayer.
services in the synagogues and fast
ing Special services will be held IN
all the synagogues during the first two
and the last two days of the Passover.
The feast is one of the most solemn
and important of Jewish rituals. In
the Hebrew language it is known as
"Pesach." 1t is time of thanksgiv-
ing TO the Lord for having delivered
the faithful from the Egyptians and it
marks their exodus from the land OF
Egypt and the subsequent drowning
in the Red Sea of the Egyptian hordes
that went in pursuit Of the Jews in
chariots and on foot.
At shutdown last night each faithful
Jewish housewife prepared the meal
of unleavened bread. This will con-
stitute the principal diet OF the faith
full during the week of the feast and all
Injuries and forms of amusement will
be forsaken for the observation OF the
feast with prayer and fasting.
At all the synagogues last night the
rabbis announced to their f1ocks that
the Passover had commenced and each
spoke briefly on the occasion and how
it should be observed by all the faith
full. The regular services in the syna-
gogues, however, viii not commence
until this morning
Each rabbi will make an address to
his congregation and review the his
tory of the feast. Special hymns will
be sung by the choirs and special
prayers and devotions will be held
both morning and evening.

DENIES WOLF
A REHEARING

The efforts Of former Sergeant OF
Police Reuben Wolf, who was dis
missed from the Police Department by
the Police Commissioners for accept
ing a bride from George simpson. a
-saloOn-keeper at Seventh and Mission
streets, to secure a rehearing. came to
naught in Judge SeawelTs court yes
terday. The court rendered a decision
in VOLTS suit for a writ Of review OF
the action of the Police Commissioners
on the ground that the Civil Service
Board and not the Commissioners
should have heard the charges pre-
ferred against him and on the fur
Their ground that Police Commissioner
DrinkhOuse was disqualified to try him
because he had assisted Simpson in eff
fecting the scheme to entrap him.
Judge Seawell decided that Wolf had
no redress on the first point
because he was neither deputy,
clerk nor employee. but pO-
liceman and therefore under the sole
supervision of the Police Commissions
ers. In regard TO the charge against
DrinkhOuse Seawell held that the
Commissioner in getting evidence OF
VOLTS crookedness simply performed
his duty as a Police Commissioners and
was therefore not disqualified from
trying him.
