25TH ANNIVERSARY 4
+r.+.

There Is to be much observance of
the 250th anniversary of the settle
ment of the Jews in the United States.
The anniversary OCCURS in this year,
and the celebrations are to take place
on the Saturday and Sunday before
Thanksgiving Day, in various cities of
the country.
The eJwish churches and the social,
development AMI literary organizations
are to cooperate to make the anniver.
sary memorable.
In the two and one half centuries
that have elapsed since the first body
of Jews settled upon this continent the
pioneers of the race have ben fol-
lowed by multitudes of their creed
seeking religious liberty and freedom
of existance. The Jews waxed pros.
porous and influential ON this SOIL
and have made record of citizenship
that Is unblemished and which has
demonstrated to the world. not with.
out decided effect, that the Jew. if
given a square deal, is a bulwark Of
civilization.
Here are some statistics:
The Jewish population of the world
is estimated at only II 100000
1t is divided thus; Europe. S,7S6, 122;
Asia, 342,410; Africa, 3S2,432; Amer,
lea, l,574022; Australia, l7,403.
New York appears to have the great
est Jewish population of any city in
the world 672776. Next comes LODI
(Poland and Vienna, 10000 each.
London has 13S.S60, which is but
81 per cent of its total population.
Berditschev, Russia, is almost ex-
elusiyely Jewish, its $4,000 Jews form
ng S2.52 per cent of the population.
Philadelphia has 10000 Jews; Chi
cago 10000, nearly as many as Paris
Madrid is credited with only 300 Jews
Dublin with only 2,700. Jerusalem has
1000 Jews, about 6S per cent of the
But mere figures do not convey any
idea of the influence of the Jews,
since the Importance of the work they
have done and are doing in THE world

In the world of music are Offenback.

lists are Alfred Sutro and David Be

as was Baron Reuter-
Josef Isreals the Dutch painter was
Jew, Rosa Bonheur was a Jewess.
There have been many well-known
Jewish chess players, of whom Steinitz |

Propose to Allow no Debate on or Amend
 ment of JOinture Bill
If this Program, Which Will Probably Fail, is Carried Out, the Senate Will Give the Bill Hard Usage as Buffer in Other Legislation.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 21.-(Spe- cial.)-The program in connection with the statehood question in the house will be this: Upon the reassembling of congress the house leaders will report a rule for the immediate consideration of the two-state bill. The rule will be so drawn as to prohibit either a separ- alton of the question or amendment or debate. If the rule is adopted in that form the bill will be forced through and sent to the senate at once. Such a rule will be stubbornly resisted and probably cannot be adopted.
 The so-called insurgents are deter mined upon dividing the question so as to let Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory go through on their merits. Their plan is to thoroughly debate the ques- ton of the jointure of Arizona and New Mexico and they will submit amendments if the same can not be avoided by the defeat of jointure.
 If the house passes the joint state hood or two-state bill as it is reported from the committee on territories, ir will be used as a buffer in the senate as long as possible against legislation, which some of the leaders do not want, the Philippine tariff the railroad rate bill and some other measures. If fin ally passed the bill will be so amend ed as to provide for a referendum in

MAKE IRRIGATION SURVEY
Lake Basin Project Is Gigantic Un.
 dertaking.

Billings Mont, Dec. 21.-The United States reclamation office located here has just received information from the interior department at Washington, of the withdrawal of about SOO,OOO acres of land in Yellowstone and Sweet Grass counties under the reclamation act.
 The lands set aside for irrigation are in what is known as the Lake Basin, and the project, if carried out, will be by far the greatest of any in the entire northwest if not in the country. Two engineering troops are now in the field running the canal line which will tap the Yellowstone at Livingston, run ming between the Musselshell and Yel- lowstone rivers to Antelope creek, a distance of over 150 miles. The project involves the construction of immense storage reservoirs and the utilization of such natural reservoirs as exist.
 Chief Engineer Savage, who is in charge of the work, says that it is such a gigantic enterprise that it will require years to complete 1t.

GOV. HIGGINS REPLY.

Albany, N. Y, Dec 21. Governor Higgins tonight replied in part to the statement made by former Governor Oden, chairman of the republican state committee, in reference to the governors action in proposing As semblyman Jas. w. WadswoItn. of Livingston county, for speaker of the state assembly. The governors state ment was made verbally, but dictated with more than ordinary care and de- liberation to the group of newspaper correspondents.
 He said: 'I have read the statement of Governor Odell sent out this after noon from New York and published in the evening papers in which he states that l said that I would not be for any candidate for speaker of the assembly from either of the large cities of the state. It think he forgot our last con- ference in New York last Friday
 Previous to my going to New York had learned through several mem bers of the assembly that called upon me that Governor Odell was using my name for the purpose of securing pledg- es for MT. Merritt for speaker I asked hlm by what authority he was using my name. He told me ne thought that at conference a month previous he had satisfied me that MT. Merritt was the proper man to support for the place. l at that time Oast Frday) asked him if he would agree upon any other candidate, any other man in the legislature. He told me that he would not; that he was pledged to Mir. Mer- ritt l do not care to discuss with MT. Odell through the press questions of honesty or questions of dishonesty
 So far as the future of the republi- can party is concerned, think that it can safely be trusted with the press and the people as to whether my ac- tion is wise or unwise''

ANTI ODELL VICTORY.

New York, Dec. 22-At 2:35 a. m Congressman Herbert Parsons was elected chairman of the New York county republican committee by ac- clamation.
 It was known at the outset of the meeting, which was called to order shortly after o'clock last night that the two opposing forces in the repub- lican party in New York state which are engaged in primary battle as to the speakership of the assembly, would again lock horns over the control Of the New York county committee.
 The so-called anti-Odell forces led by Congressman Herbert Parsons as candidate for president of the commit tee, soon began their efforts to have the president named at this time. The opposing forces fought for a postpone ment of the election of officers until Jan. 4. The Odell forces, led by Wm. Halpin resorted to filbustering, but were outvoted on each roll call.
 The decisive vote was, ayes, 322; noes, 2SS. Following the election, which was received with wild enthusi- asm, MT. Halpin made a speech, in which he pledged his cordial support to the new head of the committee.

NOT EXACTLY A DICTATION.
But One of the "Plain People" is in
 Favor of Wadsworth.

Old Westbury, L. l., Dec 21.-Con- gressman Cocks of the presidents own congressional district, on his return from Washington, stated here today that he had called at the White House to consult with the president as to the attitude of assemblyman from Nassau county about the speakership contest. The president said that as a citizen of Nassau and a constituent of the as- semblyman, if his advice was asked, he would state that in his opinion. MT. Wadsworth was an ideal candidate for speaker; that it would be the best possibzle thing for the party and the state if he were elected: that he pos sessed the very 'ualities most needed in the speakership at this particular juncture; that not only was he a man of ability, of unflinching courage and ruggedly aggressive honesty, but his election would mean that the repubn- cans would have a speaker absolutely free from dictation by an individual Or by any ring. man who would be entirely his own master and incap- able of being coerced by any interest, political or financial, and it would end a long squabble. That is the type of men the plain people who compose the great bulk of the republican party wish to see high in the party manage ment

THE OLD WAY
 AND THE NEW
Of Looking Into Life h.
 SuranCe Companies
According to the Superintendent of Insurance of New York Only Solid ity was Sought For.

New York, Dec. 21.-Francis Hend- ricks, superintendent of insuraTfce Of New York state was the chief witness before the legislative committee in the insurance investigation today and tes- tified that the examinations of insur- ance companies by his deparment are made to ascertain only the solvency Of the companies, and that no examination is made into the extravaganza of the management or into salaries paid 10 officers so long as the company is able to pay it's obligations.
 No investigation is made into the commissions paid to agents; the sys- tenn of loaning on the premiums, the advancing of loans to agents or loans to directors. The employment of kins- people of officers in high positions is not inquired into. This has long been the custom of the department, the wit ness said and he declared further that he personally knew little or nothing about the various examinations made, as they were entrusted to Isaac Van derpool, chief examiner of the depart ment.
 Mir. Hendricks said his department spent last year about $137,000 and re- ceived in fees and payments $2S7,OOG which was paid into the state treasury To make examinations that would bring out such information as has been gathered by the legislative committee the witness said, would require ten more examiners and an additional ap- propriation of from s5OOOO to s6O, ,OOO. He thought however he could get the appropriation if he asked for it.
 MT. Hendricks knew nothing of the crQl AFt " Life Insurance company, the Equitable and Mutual Life, as they had never been called to his attention. He had never heard of the mock sales of se- curities nor the year-end loans of tIn Equitable to clerks of Kuhn, Loeb and company, nor had these ever been brought to his attention.
