RABp1s REJECT SYNOD PROJECT
Substitute Adopted Declared the Syna-
eopue the Jewish Center.

The central conference Of American
rabbis at indianapolis yesterday rejected
by an Overwhelming majority the measure
first introduced three years ago to estaD-
Iish a synod as an authoritative religious
body for American reform Jews. The vote
was 80 to 16. This finally settles the synod
agitation.
The following substitute On the synod
question was adopted:
Resolved, That a campaign Of education
be made In the Jewish press and pulpit for
the purpose OF organizing public opinion
and sentiment in favor Of the creation of
a representative Jewish organization. whose
primary purpose shall be the promotion Of
the cause OF Judaism and for the recog-
milton of the principle that the synagogue
is the basic institution OF Judaism and the
congregation its unit OF representation.
The committee on social union reported,
recommending that the members OF the
conference be urged to foster In their va
rious communities q sentiment that shall
make CONGREGATION affiliation as nearly as
possible a sine qua non for all our core
iigionisfs, but especially for those who seek
to stand In the eyes OF the community as
representative Jews. and, further. that our
members be impressed with the necessity
Of making the synagogue force central
to Jewish life."
The committee also favored the forma-
tion OF social circles In the synagogue, fire.

cation and the extension of lecture courses.

were made to carry out its recommends

HAS any estimate ever been formulated
as to what population the United States IS
capable of supp0rting?'
Many estimates have been offered on
this subject" replied Mr.. Gannett 1T is
a popular subject of speculation but it de-
ponds 80 much upon conditions that are
only possible or probable that no one can
predict with accuracy. The number Of peo-
pie that can be supported by the United
States is dependent entirely on what bust
ness they are engaged in. If we remain an
agricultural nation our land capable of Gull
tivatfon would doubtless sustain 400 COOS 600.
That Is about the population of Europe. If
we become a manufacturing nation, and
depend upon Canada, Mexico, Australia,
Siberia the South American republics and
other countries for our beef and bread, our
territory could sustain a great many more.
We find that southern New England, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have
passed the agricultural stage. Their prin-
cipal Industries are now trade and manu-
features Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Iowa
have nearly reached the limit of agricultu-
raj settlement. and are now developing
manufacturing industries. Consequently.
more than half the population is grouped
in cities. and the tendency is toward more
rapid increase of the city than Of the coun-
try population.

AT SEA, s. S. St Louis. June 10, 1905.
We have had a most delightful cruise.
The weather has been perfect; the tempera-
tUre comfortable without overcoat and
the sea as smooth the prover5ial duck
pond. Nobody has been Ill. The st. Louis
has kept an even keel and level deck all
the way across and the captain is positive
that the combination of weather, with ali
other conditions. was never so agreeable be-
fore during his lengthy acquaintance with
salt water. 1t was a long voyage. however
1921 miles, and we were seven days and
seven hours and half between New York
and Plymouth because we took southeriy
course to keep out of the way of danger
An unusually large number OF ieebergs are
floating about this summer. and on Tues
day, June s. we passed two large ones, six
miles distant in 800 81 north latitude and
470 16' west longitude. An iceberg Is an
ugly thing to meet at sea. and they are
most plentiful where the fog prevails
around the banks of Newfoundland.
A voyage to Europe is becoming less and
less of novelty. The comforts. con-
veniences and attractions of steamship life
are continually increasing and the ships are
growing larger and larger every year The
latest leviathan, new Cunarder. called
the Lustania, has Just been launched. She
longer than the largest vessel ever built
previously, and her tonnage Is $3.50. which
is $500 tons larger than the largest. She
has six turbine engines and four propellers
instead of two, which will enable her to
run twentysix or twentyseven knots an
hour and to cross the Atlantic in tour and
half days. She will be able to carry $50
f1rst-class passengers. $50 second class and
1900 third class. and viii carry a crew of
800 officers and men, When filled TO her
capacity she will have 3, 1855 souls aboard

today has on board a total population of

most comfortable. The .swifter a ship
moves the greater the vibration which Is
sometimes very uncomfortable. The en-
gines cannot do their work without making
themselves felt by the passengers.
Safety of Ocean Travel.
The safety OF modern travel by sea is
much greater than by land. Indeed the
number of vessels wrecked Is exceedingly
small. The loss of life Is infnitesimal COM
pared with other causes of mortality More
people are killed by automobiles than are
lost at sea all over the universe Some
years ago figured out that the number of
deaths from being run over by bicycles was
greater. One of the accident insurance
companies, has been collecting statistics ON
this subject and has tabulated the percen-
tages of the several causes of death by ac-

asks some interesting questions concerning
the growth Of population and estimates as
to the future. which I submitted to Mr..
Henry Ganneft, geographer of the United
States, who is the highest authority on
this subject. The first question Is:
AT the present rate OF immigration and
natural Increase. what will be the probable
population OF the United States In the year
1852
The first census of the United States was
taken In $780,. said Mr.. Gannett From
that time to the present a census has been
taken every ten years. Starting ITO years
ago with 1898. 214 inhabitants. we have ad-
vanced with such tremendous strides that
T6. S0S, 367 people were found by the enumer-
ators In 1900. and since that date we have
probably gained six millions more. This did
not include the Inhabitants of Alaska or
Indians on reservations and In the Indian
Territory. The ratio OF increase by decades
has been as follows.

In the first twenty-five years the popu-
lation doubled. In the second twenty-five
years 1t doubled again. but the rate Of in
crease has diminished, and. instead of
doubling again during the last quarter Of a
century, 1t now takes more than thirty
years to double. This ratio Of increase Is
likely to diminish as the population In
creases, but I estimate that the numerical
increase from 1900 to 1910 will be about 49,
O00.OO0: from 1910 to 1920. $4,000 600, and
from 1920 to 1925. 100O0,0OO. II this turns
out to be true we shall have popu-
