STA would Lot be worthy place in

Judge ALI ed J. Murphy spoke next
upon Tho Jew in America" In the
course OF his remarks, he said:
Were theso barbarities inflicted
upon savages in an African jungle,
we should yet be appalled, that tho
land of time could be moved back on
the dial TO the middle ages. Taking
place In a so-called christian country.
IL renders our boast Of the age OF
civilization groundless. No such
black page can be found In the his.
tory Of any other age"
Memorial to Congress.
A memorial TO congress read by
Judge Alfred Murphy, was adopted
by unanimous show OF hands. IL
contained the following:
1.-The civilized world has been appal-
led at the unexampled atrocities which
have been 3racticed within recent
weeks in Russia, and which have put
a stain of ignominy upon twentieth
century civilization.
ITO remain silent in the face Uf
these outrases is to confess moral
cowardice. Failure to use every hon
orable and legitimate means I" pre-
vent their REPETITION would be I'M
orthy of the traditions of a nation
which has ever stood for justice, fair
rlay and humanity.
at is therefre meet and fitting that
we, tho citizens of Detroit, Mich, IN
mass meeting assembled on this tenth
day OF December, 1905, should, and we
do hereby, in behalf of our whole cit
iZenship, without regard to race Or
creed or color, add our appeal to that
Of fellow-Americans throughout the
land, in a request to our honored chief
executive, and to both branches cf
congress, TO take such appropriate ac-
ton as may tend TO secure interven-
ton by tho Russian government to
prevent recurrence OF these outrages.
This memorial, properly verified,
shall be forwarded to the president Of
the United States, and through our
representatives TO both hous of con
gress as an urgent petition for ap-
propriate action in con 'ormity with
its spirit AM substance"
The audience was dismissed with
benedict.on by tho Rev. lee s. Nc
Cullester, ID. ID. AS the people passed
out, envelopes with pledges or contri-
buttons we've left with a committee.
The donations amounted to s 20 cash
and $50 pledges, which will be added
to about $500 previously collected, and
sent to the central relief committee in
New York
Soldiers Home Crowded.
