ASK FOR VACATION
OF ST. CHARLES STREET
FarweH Ozmun, Kirk & Co. Want to
Build on the Ground.

Farwell. Ozmun, Kirk & Co presented a
petition to the city council last evening
through Attorney B. H Sehriber, request
ing the city to abandon its claim upon
the portion of a disused thoroughfare
between Jackson and Robert Streets
known years ago as est. Charles street."
The question as to the city's right to the
ground is involved in a case pending in
the district court, and the company asks
the city to give up the claim and permit
the property to be used for business pur-
poses.
The company contemplates erecting a
large building, but pending the settle
ment of the question of vacation of the
street declined to discuss the project.

LEGACY TO THE CITY
GOES A.BFCCING
Library and Park Boards Re.
ject 1t, 1t Is So Slow Ma
terlaIizing.

The case of a legacy Of $4,000 to the
city going begging for six years was
brought up at the meeting of the board
of aldermen last night through a pc
tition filed by d. w. Lawler, as execu-
tor of the estate of Mrs. Martha L.
Griswold, who bequeathed to the Ii
brary board the sum on condition that
tablet be erected in the public Ii
brary to the memory of her son, Louis
Burton GriswOld, who died Nov. 27,
1870.
The win provided that in case the
library board refused to accept the
terms imposed the legacy should re-
vert to the park board which should
erect a marble drinking fountain for
people and animals in Summit park or
in some adjacent park.
The library board, thinking that
cost of $500 would be involved in the
placing of a suitable tablet, rejected
the bequest on May 4, 1898, as only Is
per cent of the $4,000 was available for
payment at that time. The will re-
quired that the tablet should bear the
following inscription:
ITO the memory Of Louis Burton
Griswold, son of Gilbert and Martha
IL. NTIISWOlut ulGu III 4 dLllt 4NON ~
1870"
The will also provided that the
$4,000 should be invested and should
be known as the "Griswold Fund" the
proceeds to go to the public library.
The park board, on Dec. 4, 1899, re-
jected the bequest, as at that time only
80 per cent of the money was available
for payment. Since then the legacy
has been in the hands of the executors
and several payments have been made.
The petition presented last night
says that $1,285.91 is now in the hands
Of the executor ready for distribu-
ton. The city is asked for a final an
swer as to whether it is to accept the
bequest. The decision of the library
board is thought TO be final, but the
park bOrad, the petition suggests,
might be induced to reconsider it's de-
cision. The fountain called for by the
will must be so constructed as to pro-
vide relief for furnishing humans and
horses and dogs. 1t shall be in
scribed with the name "GriswOld Foun-
tain"

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Heroic work is being done by the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO Animals. but the
question concerns tho public a whole. Atten-
ton has been called in to-days issue TO the death
rate among horses in the present winter. and
the great mortality is generally attributed to the
severity OF the weather. This cause. however. IS
beyond human control. whereas another cause ex-
lists which only needs TO be stated to be proved.
No matter how powerful a horse may be, II he
is so heavily loaded that his strength only Just

JEWS NOT ACTING AGAINST RUSSIA
II. Pereira Mendes Says They Appreciate
American Citizenship Too Much.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Permit TO protest against the unneces-
Eary prominence given TO the proposition 70 pur-
chase a warshIp for Japan from funds contributed
by Hebrews. The suggestion emanated from one
two irresponsible persons. and the only service
that they have Done 20 the community is that they
have aroused the condemnation Of all thinking
Hebrews in this country.
First-we Hebrews enjoy citizenship as a right.
and not a. a privilege washington remarked
in his letter to the Jews Of Newport. As citizens
OF this country very jealous OF its honor.
and We can never tolerate any infraction OF the
neutrality laws which would blot that honor.
Second-We enjoy a certain respect In this coun-
try. and grateful for the conditions which
obtain here. conditions different from those
abroad where Jewish disabilities exist in various
forms. II would be ungraeious and ungrateful on
our part TO use this country In any way that might
involve IL IN serious difficulties with another.
Third-we Hebrews do not cherish vengeance
We are taught, Vengeance is mine saith the Lord "
deuteronomy xxxn) IF thou meet thine enemy's
OK or his going astray thou shalt surely bring Il
back TO him again. II thou the OF him that
hateth thee lying under his burden and wouIdest
t9roeaT 70 help him. thou shalt surely help with
give him bread 70 eat: and If ne be thirsty. give
FIRE upon his head. and the Lord shall reward thee
tProverbs XIV. 2i-22) We are nowhere commanded
to hate our enemy. on the contrary. the command
IS. Thou shalt not hate thy brother In thine heart"
u.eyiticus xix. I'D
We cannot love Russia. because we cannot re-
sPect her But we have no wish TO inture her be-
S 81 u nhe merits punishment for what she has
than human power. And we are strong in the
thought that with us think all thinking Ameri-
cans who condemn Russia's treatment OF Jews in
the Pale OF Firms IN Finland. and OF Protestants
and Catholics In any part OF Russia's cominions.
Permit me also to protest against the utterances
o. an irresponsible few who misrepresent the idea
OF Jewish nationality. We a nation, and We
always viii be "A nation. Thus saith the Lord
which giveth the for HIGHT by day, and the
ordinances OF the moon and OF the stars for Hight
by night. who divtdeth the sea when the waves
thereof roar: the Lord of Hosts is His name: II
these ordinances depart from before Ne. saith the
Lor- then the seed Of Israel also shall cease from

Wife Murderer Sentenced to Be

braith. who killed his wife and son last
February, must expiate his terrible
crime on the scaffold in the state peni-
tentiary at Canon City. Such was the
verdict of the jury which was returned
at 10 O'Clock tonight. Galbraith heard
his doom pronounced without showing
any emotion, though he was nervous
and colorless while the jurors were
coming in and after the verdict was
announced.
Galbraith was taken to his cell in
the basement of the county jail at once
and on the way to the cell he told
Sheriff Cody that he did not expect
anything else.
Five ballots were taken. The first
stood eleven for murder in the first
degree and one for second degree. The
fourth ballot was unanimous for YER
dict of guilty in the first degree. me
fifth and last ballot was unanimous for
guilty in the first degree with the

Of those who perished Wednesday on

What the list of victims will total

but whatever the number may be, there
is hardly a parallel in the history OF
disasters where death came to SO many
in SO brief period OF time.
Police and Health Department off,
cials have placed the number at tig-

night 1t would seem that the maximum
fatalities will not largely exceed 700.
All day long, from sunrise until dark
ness shut off even the melancholy sat-

ious searchers kept up their vigilance,
and at dusk there had been recovered
536 bodies, for the greater part women
and children; mothers who weeks ago
had planned that fatal outing for their
children, little ones who had longed for
the happy day.
Up to dusk 499 bodies had passed
through the morgue, and OF these more
than 800 were identified.
The East Side had its human sympa-
thies aroused to the fullest extent. and
down by the river where the boats un-
loaded their dead, thousands gathered
throughout the day.
Streets leading to the morgue were
blocked and only with difficulty could
