Largelys Attended.

large and representative audience as
sembled last evening IN s1he lower hall of
the Washington Hebrsw Congregation
Temple, 9Th street hetween H and 1 streets
northwest, to attend the FIRST public meet
Ing of 1905 under the auspices Of the Coun-
Gil of Jewish Won1en. The feature of the
evening was an address IN Representative
Francis Burton HARRISON of New York,
whose subject was -Amer1can Passports in
Russia"
Preceding the address there was a pro-
gram of music by Mr.. Herbert Lawson, ac-
companied by Mr.. Paul Fishbaugh. and
MISS M1nna Heinrichs, accompanied by MIR.
F. p. Mayo.
In his Introductory remarks Representa-
tive Harrison said that many persons VINO
nave never visited Russia think they have
an exaggerated idea of the oppressive laws
and difficulty of travelling in Russia, gar
nered from dime novels and fiction, but he
said that this is not true for Russia is
most mysterious and often terrifying coun-
try. he added that he was conscious of
the fact that his every movement was
watched by Russian spies and officials
when he visited that country several years
ago.
Describing the passport system in Russia,
Mr.. Harrison told how impossible it is to
travel without one, and stated that Russia
refuses to recognize American Jews pos
sessing passports, or to accord to them the
PiisHSSSS Vi lHelT American CltlZellSlLp
even though their family has been In the
United States for generations. He spoke of
the urgent need of a new treaty with Rus
STA, which will compel Russia to admit
Jews who are American citizens to all OF
the rights that are now accorded to other
Americans.
The New York representative criticised
Secretary Hay for an evasion probably
caused by bad information when about a
year ago he said that there was no differ
ence in the treatment by Russia of Ameri-
can Jews and those who are subjects OF
European countries. Mr.. Harrison said
that it was not desired that Russia shall
accord to American Jews only the privi-
leges given to European Jews, but all of
the privileges which are accorded to other
American citizens by Russia under the
treaty of 1882 with the United States
which Russia maintains does not apply to
Jews.
Among the guests at the meeting was
Representative H. NJ. Goldfogle of the
ninth New Yorl. district.
