 "Of eourse.''
 "And then into the cab?'

 I saw the lower half of Lord Ernest's face grinnng in thei light of the candle set between them on the ground.
 You follow every move" said he. there can be no doubt you are one of the fraternity; and I shouldn't wonder if we had formed our style upon the same model. Ever know A. J. Raffes?"
 The abrupt question took my breath away; but Rallies himself did not lose an instant over his answer.
 Intimately said he.
 That accounts for you, then,,.' laugh ed Lord Ernest, "as it does for me. though I never had the honor of the masters acquaintance. Nor Is it for me to say which is the worthier disciple Perhaps, however, now that your friend Is hand cuffed In mdair, and you yourself are at my mercy. you will concede me some little temporary advantageT'
 And his face split in another grin from the cropped mustache downward, as l saw no longer by candle-light but by a flash of lightning which tore the sky in two before Rallies could reply. You have the bulge at present" ad- mitted Rallies: "but you have still to lay hands upon your or our, ill-gotten goods. To shoot me is not necessarily to do so: to bring either one or us to a violent end is only to court a yet more violent and infinitely more disgraceful one for yourself Family considerations alone should rule that risk out of your game.

Jewish question:" but even from very remote past there have been Jews in coun- tries now under the Czars rule. To Armenia many were sent by Nebuchad- nezzar nearly 500 years B. C., and Georgia had many other survivors of the destruc- ton of the First Temple. It is not until within century that the treatment of the Jews in Russia has been consistently harsh; how harsh the article in this tenth volume shows clearly. At the same time the cyclopedia describes the actual con- dition of the Russian Jews-their chari- ties. their public institutions, their edu- cational system. their position in Russian literature. The Polish Jews are also treated in this article at some length
 Most encyclopedias as they near their end show signs of compression. due to the fact that too much space has been allowed to the articles in the early volumes. Roses Cyclopedia Biographica is perhaps the most striking example of this; six of its twelve volumes bring the alphabet down only to E; the other twenty-one letters are compressed into four volumes. Noth- ing of the sort is visible in the lewis cyclopedia The illustrations. diagrams, and plans in the tenth volume are as valuable and illustrative as heretofore.

From the New York Times.
 The publication of the tenth volume of the Jewish Encyclopedia, edited by Dr. Isadore Sanger, brings that great work within sight of its completion. Two more volumes remain to be published; but it is hoped and expected that they will appear in time to mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the arrival at Am sterdam in the New Netherlands of the Jews. who came here from Brazil in Oc- tober. 1655. The tenth volume Is as valuable as any of its predecessors; It's articles range from Philipson to Samosez. and though the articles on David Philip son and David Samosez are not in them selves important, yet between them are others of note Some of them may be named: Philistines. whose name is still preserved in "Palestine;" Phil Judaeus, Poetry, Psalms, Rome Rothschild, Rou- mania. Russia, Sabbath. Samaritans.
 In Rome, Roumania, and Russia the Jews have always been an important ele- ment, in spite of the attempts to suppress them. More than POO years ago a decree was issued expeling from Rome all Jews who were not Roman citizens, the ex- istance of a community there at that pe- riod being shown thereby. Poppaea Sa- bina, Nero's wife, has even been said but not by this cyclopedia-to be Jewess-
 In Roumania the Jews are believed to 1 have lived for years before Trajan settled his Roman convicts there; and in the eighth century of our era 1t is recorded

 Plain kerosene placed in a pan under an electric light is ridding the Rocke- feller estate of all kinds of bugs. moths and beetles. The Insects have habit of ducking when they strike an arc light. They fall into the pan of kerosene and that is the last of them. Many kinds or insects which destrow foliage may be caught in this manner.

IN THE SENATE

he had had somewhat severe time of
it during his recent illness, was on
hand to call the Senate to order this
morning at the opening of the 18th day
Of the session.
There was the usual batch of COM
munications relative to bills from the
House at the opening Of the session.
The House failed to concur in the
amendments TO House Bill 1856, and ask
ed for a conference. Hayselden, Lane
and Kalama were appointed Senate
conferrees. The House likewise asked
a conference on House Bill 1873, and the
same conferrees were appointed.
A communication from the Chinese Y.
NJ. G. A. asked for the passage of a law
exempting its property used for reli-
gious purpose from taxation. The petit
ton was received and referred to the
Ways and Means Committee.
Senate Bill 106, to repeal Section 1855
OF the Revised Laws, relating to the
regulation of markets, passed third
reading without dissent.
House Bill 4, to repeal the obsolete
vaccination laws, was read for the sec
ond time and tabled.

Charles Bellina made tour of the

went to make a test of the roads, in

it is practicable to attempt around the
Island automobile tours.
He had a conference with Governor

touring has become such a fad.
Mr.. Bellina made the trip yesterday
without special difficulty. There is at
least one point on the other side of the
Island where the road crosses a stream
without bridge, where 1t is impossible,
or rather impracticable for an auto
mobile to get through. 1t was one OF

EQUITABLE PAY ROLL
FACTION OF ASSURANCE SOCIETY
GALS Personal SERVANTS.

NEW YORK, March 31.-To investi-
gate the allegation made by a faction
in the Equitable Life Insurance Society
that number of j. II. Hyde's personal
state superintendent of Insurance
Hendricks today held a meeting of
the warning parties at his Office in this
city. Nothing was given out regard
ing the proceedings.
This last sensational charge follows
the allegations by the anti-Hyde fac
ton that Hyde paid for his recent
$4,000 French costume ball at Sher-
rvs out of the Equitable funds, and
that the bill for the 100000 dinner
given to NJ. Cambon was paid with
Equitable money. 1t is admitted by
Hyde's friends that the Equitable
paid for the Camden dinner, but they
continue to deny the charge regarding
the expensive function at Sherry's at
which Rajane, the French actress,
gave an impromptu performance Of
the can-can on a table.
It is openly asserted by persons
prominent i'm the Equitable that many
of Hyde's servants are paid out of the
treasury of the company, i'm which he
owns a majority of the capital stock
One of these employees, a man who
manages Hyde's country estate, il
said to receive a salary of $500 a
month. His name is said to be on the
pay roll of the Equitable Society, and
of Ia L.. n l. to
salary monthly. At no time except
on those monthly pay days does this
man show up at the office, it is said.
So persistent are the accusers Of
Hyde, that getting at the truth of
things without adding to the split
Hendricks called today's meeting. Hen
bricks has called another meeting for
tomorrow, at which Hyde's handling of
the Equitable funds will be further in
vestigated.
The World tomorrow will say: James
II. Hyde, vice-president of the Equit-
able life Insurance Society, who is
charged with the misuse Of the soc ety's
funds, received President James w.
AleXander's ultimatum yesterday. He
was told he must either retire forthwith
as an active officer of the Equitable
Life, which his father founded, or face
complete exposure. Hyde win have un-
til II o'clock today to give his answer.
The Tribune WI say: The presidency
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety has been Professionally offered to
John y. Crimmins. it is said on good
authority, by representatives of the
Hyde party. According to the story,
James H. Hyde will offer to retire as

holders who have been advocating

PORTO RICANS MAKE COMPLAINT
THAT THEY WERE LED INTO A

Several local Porto Ricans who are
workmen of various sorts have made
protest against a Job" which they
claim was put up on them a week ago
by Porto Rican police spies. According
to the story of the victims some of the
police are employing the lowest kind of
criminals and pimps as spies and in

Four men who paid a So fine for gam
bling last Saturday have written a let
ter in which they declare that they
were led into the offense by police spy
and that hew as not arrested, though
he started the game and took part i'm it..
The spy asked us to his place for a
social evening" said one of the protest
ants, proposing a bottle of wine or so.
AS we are men who work hard all week
and have few social outings, it VISA
natural that we should accept. Then
after a little wine he proposed card
game and after it was started the po-
lice suddenly burst in on as and arrest
ed us for gambling. They never touch

who started the game and played with
it. He had just got up a game so that
he could have it raided and get an in
