The Hebrew New Yerr,s Dav.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-.Sir: With the
setting OF the sun this Friday evening begins the
Hebrew New Years Day. day looked upon as
sacred and holy by both wings of Judaism, ortho.
dox and Reform
1t is quite comprehensive TO ordinary mind
to understand why the Orthodox Jews. who still
adhere to traditions and ancient supersttons. arc
so jealous and enthusiastic over the New Year
celebrations, as evinced by walk In the Ghetto
by the writer yesterday afternoon. But what
puzzles me, as no doubt 1t does great many others
In my frame OF mind is that the Reformed wing OF
Judaism. who repudiate the belief In miracles
who reject the six day creation theory. who no
longer believe In universal deluge, who re
gard the Adam and Eve myth as an allegory and
who. Furthermore, no longer believe that the world
was created 5,O8S years ago, yet regard this New
Years Day as not less holy and sacred than do
their Orthodox brethren. LOUIS BERGER

The Manhattan generation OF vipers
has received what is technically known
as "a stinging rebuke." Indeed, those

"fayed." For the instruction and re-

Away from the feverish city, back to

These transported clerks and officials
are all Fasteners. No Chicago man
ever speculates. The love OF excite

settlement work and to interchange Of

branch Of the volunteer fire depart
ment. The Chicago police run out"
spectators before these have time to
oontaminate the model town. "Put" is
a golf term and call" has a religious
and social significance. The only quo
tations are from favorite authors.
Chicago takes an honest pride in stock
and the stockyards, but stocks-what
are stocks? Something to wear around
the neck? A curious punishment used
by our ancestors?
1t is impossible that any Chicago
settlers in this town should speculate.
Why, no broker would let them do it if
they wanted to. Selling liquor to minors
and selling stocks to Chicago men are
both prohibited
Still, Chicago settlers here might be
turned from settlement work and tempted
to speculate by wicked New York conf
dence men. 1t is best that the innocents
should be protected from their possible
weakness. Let these young tapegraces,
so to speak be taken care Of.
There is but one cloud on the bright
sky. A speaker at the dinner of the
Chicago real estate board the other
night made the sinister assertion that
"highballs are running the town. "
Would it not be better for Chicago cor
porations to move to Portland, Maine?

Another Betrayal.

From the wreckage Of fusion the walls
Of It's victims rise to sympathetic ears.
The case Of the Municipal Ownership
League invites attention:
There Is much bitter feeling In the league at the
withdrawal Of the Republican machine from the
fusion movement. The League was started last
winter a. tho result OF an understanding between
Nr. HEARsr and Mr.. OpEtA that II was TO work
with tho Republican Organization in the city cam
paign on tho municipal ownership issue. Mr.
HrAhsr built It up AZ considerable expense begin
ming with tho framework of the Liberal Democ
racy and the Greater New York Democracy Tho
organization was extended. headauarters and
WORKERS were hired and the propaganda of munich
pal ownership, which had been agreed upon as tho
main Issue OF tho campaign. was pushed,
AN this was done with tho sympathy and ad
vice OF the Republican machine. Delegations
were sent to Albany to urge the passage OF the
eighty cent gas BILL which had been introduced
by an organization Republican Senator at the In L.
stance OF the leaeud at Mr.. orEI.L's Teaues. In
the fusion conferences the league was permitted
to make the fusion platform, and thing It did
was in complete harmony with tho Republican
plans.
when the Republicans decided to withdraw
from fusion they turned their backs not only upon
the Citizens Union. which had offended them. but
upon the Municipal Ownership League with which
they had maintained close and friendly relations.
The leaders of the league were shocked at a de-
sertion which they regard as nothing short of be-
trayal since II threw the league upon its own re-
sources and will compel It either to nominate Its
own ticket or to 90 out Of the campaign altogether
1t is pitiful story, but the league has
brought it's fate upon itself Its man
ayers are not children or idiots. They
knew the man with whom they had to
deal. They were informed fully on his
record. His character and reputation were
notorious, free to their inspection. From
the first they trafflcked with ODELL, the
man whose special distinction in politics
is the betrayal Of those who trust him.
They trusted him, and he betrayed them,
betrayed them in cold blood, calculat-
ingly, maliciously, as his nature and
practise prompted him.

Young Mr.. Hyde's Prowess.

As the investigation into the conduct
OF the insurance business progresses
the disclosures made on tbe witness
stand by the authorities Of the Equitable

tremendous Intellectual ability Of Mr.
JAMES HAzEN HYDE, who because OF his
youth and the assumption Of his mex
perience has hitherto been considered
one OF the led, rather than leader
According to the solemn and sworn
testimony OF men grown gray in the
study of financial methods and man.
ners, however, young Mr.. HYDE alone
was responsible for the many and vari-
Gus forms Of maladministration in the
Equitable society. He It was who led
the innocent SCHIFF into the uncomfort-
able situation he now occupies before
the public. The now silent DEPEw
would never have strayed from the path
of rectitude to which he was wont to
point young men with such earnestness
and eloquence had not the pernicous
HYDE influenced him from the straight
and narrow path. HARTMAN himself
was innocent and unsophisticated until
young Mr.. HYDE seduced him from virtue
to the pursuit of unrighteousness.
In HYDE's unenviable eminence he
has one consolation. The old foxes are
a unit in extoning his immeasurably
superior intellectual power and in con-
Tossing the complete dominion he eIer-
cised over them. II they had not said 1t

Tho Land Frauds Dragnet.

It is less than three years since q
quarrel among thieves threw into the
hands Of Secretary HITCHCOCK the clue
to the land frauds on the Pacific Coast.
From that day until now he has shown
neither variableness nor shadow OF
turning
Quietly but increasingly the clue has
been followed. Whether the public
knew or cared about it all has been,
apparently, matter of total indifference
to Secretary HITCHCOCK. Fraud, almost
unparalleled in it's scope and in its bold
ness, had been and was being carried
on. The people Of the United States
we're being robbed and swindled out Of
millions upon millions Of dollars. The
quiet man who runs our Interior Depart
ment set the wheels Of the law in motion
and has kept them busy.
The local work in the case has been
carried on by Mr.. FRANCIS j. HENEY,
the Federal District Attorney. Much
credit is due him for the intelligence
and the fidelity which he has displayed.
Six months ago it was reported that
up to that time there had been sixty
eight indictments and six convictions
in the land fraud matter. Since then a
United States Senator, JOHN MITCHELL,
has been added to the convicted list.
Last Wednesday the jury of the United
States District Court returned verdict
which read as follows:
"In the case Of the United States against JOHN
n WILLIAMSON, VAN GEssNKR and MARION r
BIoas. we, the jury. hnd the defendants guilty al
charged"
JOHN n. WILLIAMSON is a member oi
the United States House Of Representa-
tives. In two earlier trials Of the case
the jury disagreed. But there was
nothing in such an experience to dismay
such a man as Attorney HRNEY He
believed he was right, and the Secretary
supported him Result-three more con-
victions. Mr.. HITCHCOCK, commenting
on the outcome says that Mr.. HENEy
deserves special commendation, and
makes two significant statements: There
is more Of this business to come" ave
intend to push this thing to a finish"
We make our obeisance and present
Our compliments and congratulations

The sinister figure Of stalking trust, it
seems, will not leave in the prosperity of
peaceful agriculture the cranberry grow
ers of Cape Cod. 1t demands control Of
the cranberry market, or the Cranberry
Trust will purchase it's cranberries in New
Jersey!
Massachusetts and New Jersey have had
for many years monopoly in the produc-
ton of cranberries. More recently Wis
consn has come to the front rapidly, fol-
lowing a period of small yield due to par
tial destruction of bogs by frost and fire.
The bulk of the crop, however, 10 still pro-
duced in southern New Jersey and on Cape
Cod The leading counties for cranberries
in Massachusetts, are Plymouth and Barn
stable; in New Jersey, Ocean, Burlington,
Atlantic and Monmouth.
Cranberries, like pumpkins, are mostly
raised for home consumption. The ex-
ports OF cranberries, never large, are not
increasing. Those raised on flat marshes
Of Cape Cod and in the neighboring county
of Plymouth excel all others, but now 1t is
complained that their superiority is threat
ened by the blight of an insensate trust
which persists in buying cranberries cheap
to sell low whereas the antitrust cuitiva-
tors scout the menace of rivalry from New
Jersey and are firm in their determination
to keep up prices" 1t is an interesting
controversy, the determination of which
may affect ultimately the pumpkin, squash,
parsnip and cucumber market, possibly
the price of beans

As soon as the possession of telescopes
enabled astronomers to resolve the man
in the moon, his dog, his bush and his
lantern, into mountain peaks and sur
faces of elevation divided by assures
and gorges, the likeness became mani
fest of the lunar landscape to the familiar
scenes on earth. From this similarity
have arisen the names OF the Mare
Tranquilitatis. the Oceanus Procel-
larum and the lunar Alps, Apennines
and twoscore separate peaks dotting
the maps of the moon which have been
made for us by the earlier astronomers.
Yet in this similarity the great astronomi-
cal glasses of the present have shown a
large measure of dissimilarity from the
average superficial conditions of the
earth. The factors of this dssimilarity
are now engaging the attention Of
photographers, and it has seemed fea-
sible to study lunar conditions by those
on certain of the larger islands Of
Hawaii
Assuming the dead surface of the moon
to be due to vulcanism preserved from
erosion of air and water, and the assump-
ton finds much to support it, it was
held that the conditions could be studied
at close range by examination of dead
volcano on earth where the sculpture
of erosion action had not yet appre-
ciably altered the surfaces left by the
expiring volcanic action. BY all means
the best, in fact almost the only, volcanic
mass fulfilling the necessary conditions
is the extinct volcano of Haleakala.
This volcano, "the House Of the Sun"
as its name signifies, occupies the south
ern promontory of the island of Maui
and dominates with it's cloud cap the
many leagues of sea from which it is
visible 1t stands 10000 feet above the
surface of the sea and, as is shown by
soundings off the shore Of Maui repre-
sents a mass Of extrusion Of about five
miles in height above the mean ocean
floor, an immensty of altitude with
which nothing terrestrial can compare
except the towering peaks of Everest
and Kunchinjinga, with the further
exception that in its own Hawaiian
system the not distant island of Hawaii
presents two peaks Of $4,000 feet, namely
Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, representing
an extrusive mass of about six miles
from the sea bed. From the summit
wall of Haleakala the eye rests on a
crater some 5000 feet in depth, from
the floor of which, again, arise cones
of the last expiring eruption which
reach in some cases an elevation of
1000 feet from the lava floor. Seen
from above, this crater is very similar
to many masses revealed upon the
moon.
The great altitude of the crater wall
OF Haleakala, the considerable distance
which the eye must traverse to reach
the crater floor and the marked con-
fguration of its crater cones all combine
to render this spot the laboratory in
which study of the formation of the
lunar surface may be prosecuted under
the conditions Of geography rather than
