suits in Suit for Big Sum. Paper
Filed by a Negro Lawyer.

Some months since The News made
mention of a remarkable and novel

williams alleged that the spirit of the
late Judge Samuel L. Williams, for
MANY years prominent citizen OF
Terrell county, had appeared to her
in a dream and disclosed to her that
she was entitled to a considerable sum
of money from Terrell county.
Judge Roberts, on the ground that
he was without jurisdiction, paid no
attention to the paper, and now Sc
ouel to the original suit has been filed
in the Office of the clerk of the supe-
rior court, this unique suit being as
follows:

Recently several gentlemen of Daw-
son bought pool table and installed
it in the second story of a building on
Main street for their own use and
pleasure.
Chief of Police Hill was not long in
finding it out, and Friday morning,
acting under a city ordinance, he
notified the owners of the table that
they must pay a $500 license that the
council had placed on pool tables or
quit punching the ivory balls. The
members of the club refused to pay the
license, and covered their table, and
silence reigned in the room until Mon
day, when it was decided by the au-
thorities to permit the game to 60 on
until the regular meeting of the

WlTHDRAWS HIS RESIGNATION
Councilman Raines RecOnsiders His
Determination to Retire and Will
Remain on the Board.

Alderman A. NJ. Raines will not re-
tire from the board at least for the
present.
The statement in the last issue of
The News that he had filed his resig-
nation in the Office of the city clerk
was received with surprise and many
importuned him to reconsider his
action. In Difference to their wishes he
yielded his own inclination in the
matter, and withdrew his resignation.
Judge Raines is one of the most
popular and efficient members of the
aldermanic board, and if he had per-
sisted in his intentions to retire the
city would have lost the experienced
services of one of its safest public
officials.

Burning of Preston.

News comes from Wester county OF
the mysterious killing of Ida Phillips.

yard few days ago, and was at once
buried by her friends. This was con-

Several bruises and a deep cut in the
left side were found, evidencing muir
der. The woman was the wife of Joe
Phillips, one of the states witnesses
against Sidney Harrell in the burning

other negro hired to do the deed.
From the fact that the body was buried
so quickly it is believed that another
negro killed the woman.

DR.. MaXimilian Schmidt died on the 10th

year. He had resided many years in that
city and practised there a doctor. For
many years, too, he was consul for Austria

created him knight under the title of
Chevalier de Moraville, and also conferred
on him the Order of Francis Joseph. DR..

tuguese Order del Crsto. His official posi-
ton occasionally brought him into commu

in connection with the situation of the Jews
in Morocco. DR.. Schmidt came to England
in 1887 and since then passed his time both
there and in Morocco. He had a residence
in Hamilton Terrace st. Johns Wood. Lon

left a brief letter to his family, in which

sacrifices he eventually paid all his credit

honorable conduct earned him universal es-

Russian frontier recently found the body
of well-dressed young man, on which were
several wounds evidently caused by bayO-
net. The body has been identified that
of Herr Tobias Ornstein, president of the
Max Nordau Society at Odessa who was its
delegate at the recent Zionist Congress in
Basle. AS martial law prevailed in Odessa
at the time Ornstein must have left there
without a passport and on his return had
to be smuggled into Russia. Through the
medium of an agent a Russian frontier SOL
dier undertook to carry this out, and it is
surmised that he murdered and afterwards
robbed the unfortunate young man.

Germany.
The Portuguese community in Hamburg
celebrated the jubilee of the establishment
of their synagogue, the congregation having
been in existence for upwards of 25O years.
1t was in 1862 that the three then existing
Sephardi congregations were amalgamated
and the congregation became known as Bet
Israel. The synagogue was built in street
then known as the Dreckwall The build
ing was destroyed by the great fire of 1912
and it's valuable archives were burnt.
At the last census the population OF
Rhina, in the province of Hesse-Nassau,
numbered 569, of whom 297, or slightly more
than half, were Jews. The reason for this
preponderance of Jews is to be found in
the fact that at one time the right OF resi-
dence of Jews in Hesse was limited, and
that the district in which Rhina is situated
was the only one open to them.
The Jewish School of Arts and Industry,
a fine structure in the style of the German
Renaissance, was opened recently in StraS-
burg in the presence of several distinguished
representatives of the government OF AL
sace-Lorraine. The discourse was delivered
by Chief Rabbi Ury and the opening address
by DR.. Gustav Levy.
DR.. julius Levitt, district rabbi of AL
zey, recently had the honor of being re-
ceived by the Grand Duke of Hesse, who
inquired about the situation of the Jewish
communities and the nature of the activity
of the Rabbis in those communities. The
rabbi subsequently had an interview with
one of the ministers, who discussed with
him the proposed new law affecting Jewish
congregations in the Grand Duchy, accord
ing to which the position of rabbis would
be better regulated and teachers of religion
appointed by the state.
The jubilee of the synagogue in Leipsic
was celebrated on the 10th ult. When the
synagogue was opened, in 1855, it was the
first public Jewish place of worship in Sax
ony. The congregation was then also the
only one in that kingdom, although Jews
had lived in Leipsic far back as 1900.
Ancient records prove that in the year 1850
a prayer-hall, the so-called "Judenschule,'
existed in Leipsic, but the then 'Lipsk Con-
gregation" was afterwards dissolved by the
Margrave of Messen, who presented the
premises of the Judenschule to one of his
favorites. In the Middle Ages, tolerated
prayer halls were to be found in the city.
Jews were for hundreds of years only per-
mitted in Leipsic for the annual fair and it
was not until the year 1912 that unrestricted
right of residence throughout Saxony was
granted to the Jews. In 1847 the Jewish
population of Leipsic was only 66; the con-
gregation now numbers over 5000 members,
about half the entire body of Jews in the
country The first rabbi of the present con-
gregation was the late Dr. Jellinek, after
wards better known as the chief rabbi of
Vienna.

PRESIDENT TALKS
OF EXTRA SESSION
URGES FREIGHT RATE AND
TARIFF LEGISLATION
Prospect Faces Statesmen of Having
to Remain in Washington
During the Hot
Weather

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 4.-The
president renewed his talk about call
ing an extra session of congress for
the purpose of enacting legislation
giving the interstate commerce com
mission control of railroad freight
rates and for tariff revision He has
shifted the date for the proposed eX-
ira session to the beginning of June,
which would mean that the statesmen
would be kept IN Washington during
the dog days wrestling with freight
schedules and tariff schemes.
The object of this talk of June ex-
ira session is believed to be to force
congress to pass railroad legislation
before the fourth of March The presi-
dent seems bent on securing such
legislation from the present session,
but the feeling is that his efforts will
be in vain.
If congress should yield to his de-
mand there will be no extra session
in the spring or summer, but he will
90 as he did in 1903, call session for
November, so that there will be time
for revision of the tariff as well as
other necessary general legislation and
the passage of the regular appropri-
alton bills.

CANDIDACY OF FISK SHOWS

SACRAMENTO Jan. 4.-After all
the fretting and scheming of the last
few months Southern California will
probably lose the senatorial toga, un-
less the legislators from that end of
the state get together and agree upon
some effective plan to whip the north
into line. Up to Sunday night there
seemed to be no question that a south
ern man would secure the honor. Since
then there has been decided change
brought about by the announcement
that Arthur Fisk of San Francisco had
become a candidate.
At first Mr.. Fisk said he was ire
ceptive" candidate, but now he figures
that his chances are as good as any of
the rest. His strength has been grow.
ing steadily and it is said that among
some of those who will vote to send
him to Washington are men who have
already announced their intention of
supporting Frank p. Flint.

to Sacramento with about ten votes
and 1t is not thought he will be able to
increase this support sufficiently to
land. AS for OXnard he hasn't more
than four or five votes promised il
that. Members of both houses of the
Legislature are holding that there are
but three candidates in the race, Flint,
