Answers Judge Cohen's Attack

In recent issue of the Jewish Out
look we printed a part OF the criticism
made upon Jews by ex-Judge William
n Cohen, at a meeting of Temple Beth
Ell Club in New York city. DR.. Samuel
Schulman, rabbi of Temple BETHEL took
occasion to answer Judge Cohens at
tack in a sermon preached on last Sun
day He said in part:
"We have had remarkable example
Of bearing false witness against ones

man who was invited to take part in a
symposium on the subject, The Func-
ton Of the Synagogue in America He
admitted, in his opening sentence, he
knew nothing about the question; he
might have modestly declined the invita-
ton, instead Of which he seized the op-
portunity to deliver an arraignment Of
Jews which was large catalogue Of their
supposed vices He painted us in unre-

given either in the way of emphasizing
Jewish virtues or treating tenderly Jew

the duty of the Jewish people to empha-
ness and vulgarity; this is matter Of
course and no race, creed or nationality
has a monopoly of these things. The
speaker, therefore, was guilty of a gross
injustice to his co-relgionists.
"Were these charges, however, based
on TRUTH which they are not, they would
become falsehood and a caumny be-
cause of the peculiar maner in which he
made them. All through his speech he
contrasted Jewish shortcomings with
Christian superiority This is entirely
unjustified. 1t is true the world has a
right to ask from a people that calls
itself priest people that it be better

we are worse than others. Jewish
preachers also preach the ideal of the
simple life; we also recognize that the

right has Mr.. Cohn to single out the
Jews and make it appear that they con-

their Christian neighbors?

STILL AGAINsr FOOTBALL.
President of Columbia Does Not Wish
 to See It Again Introduced.

New York, Nov. 2.-Letters which have recently passed between the stu dent board of representatives of Colum- bia university and President Nicholas Murray Butler of the University re- lating to football were made public to- day. The student board wrote that it had been decided at meeting to peti- tion the president to permit the series of class football, under the new rules, to be played this fall Because the sport had been fundamentally altered since last year. President Butler re- piled thatthe request was beyond his power to grant because the intercol- legiate game of football was abolished in Columbia in consequence of the &C., tion of the committee on student organ ization, and of the university council President Butler further said in his re- ply that those responsible for the uni versitys action in the matter 'are sin cerely convinced that neither the game of intercollegiate football, nor the infiu- ences that surround and accompany it should again be introduced at Colum- bia. There are many and admirable forms of sport, more interesting, more manly and more healthful than inter- collegiate football"

LlLLEY MAKES HIS REPLY
PRACTICALLY ACCUSES DoNA.
 HUE OF TAKING BRIBE
His Speech at Hyperion Theatre Last Night--Says His Explanations are In- consistent and FaIse--Woodruf Says He Will be Governor of All the Peo- ple--Senator Brandagee and Chair man Michael Kennedy Speak.

The feature of the great republican rally held in the Hyperion theater last night was the reply made by Congress- man-at-Large George l.. Lilley, of Wa terbury, to the attacks made on him at democratic rally held at Music hall last Tuesday night. Congressman Lil- ley did not spare his opponent, and, in addition to producing records to show that MT. Donahue voted with the big railroad corporation when in the state legislature in 1901, he showed that his efforts on behalf of labor have been un- successful, and that there is a growing feeling against him in those organiza- tions. His speech in full will be found in another column.
 The rally was a big success from every point of view. The house was well filled and everybody was enthusi- astic. The meeting was opened with a selection by the city band, and while the band was still playing the speakers, who included Senator Frank Brande- gee, Congressman Lilley, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and Chairman Mi chael Kenealy of the state central committee, together with the vice-pres- idents of the meeting, marched onto the platform, headed by Colonel Theodore H. Macdonald, chairman of the town committee. They were greeted with applause as they took their seats.
 The gathering was called to order by Colonel Macdonald, who introduced Mayor John P Studley as the chairman of the rally, In his opening remarks Mayor Studley said that the issues be- fore the people to-day are essentially the same as those that confronted the people forty-six years ago, and they are the conditions that brought the repub- lican party into existence. The home stead act and the protective tariff were both signed by President Lincoln. The party has stood for those principles ever since. If it were not for the tariff and the benefits it has brought there would be nothing for the workmen to strike for, but there is danger that prosperity will make the people care- less and that the democrats may come into power, as at the end of the liar rison administration. President Roose- welt has sent a warning into the state

CANDIDATES IN NEW FORK.
whirlwind of speeches-Hearst's voice
 in Serious Condition,

New York, Nov. 2.--Echoes of yes- terdays developments in the political situation in this state were heard on every side to-day in the comments of the political leaders on the Richard Crolzer interview and the speech of Sec. retary of State Root at Utica last night, Fresh interest was aroused by the pub- lication of 8 letter from William J. Bryan to Bird s. Coler, borough pres- ident of Brooklyn in which the writer expressedthe hope that all democrats would support William R. Hearst f5r, governor. These things and the further fact that Charles E Hughes and Will liam R. Hearst, the candidates for gov- ernor on the republican and democratic- Independence league tickets respective ly, were once more on the stubbornly contested ground of the city of Greater New York, broughtthe political interest to a fever pitch.
 Tonight Mr. Hughes and Mir Hearst gave their attention to the voters of Kings and Queens counties, both malS- ing dashes from place to place in order to carry out the details of the long pro- grammes mapped out for them by their respective campaign managers. MT. Hearst was slated to speak at thirteen different meetings in Brooklyn, Long Island City and Queens county, while MT, Hughes nights campaign called for equally strenuous work. Besides meet ings arranged for the two gubernatorial

S1hVLNS ASCEADS.
BaIloonist Starts From PittsieId-Ex-

Pittsfeld, Mass, Nov. 2.--I,eo Stew ems, the ballonist, made an ascent from this city this afternoon in the balloon Eagle, which has capacity of 1SOOO cubic feet of gas. A strong northeast erly wind was blowing when MT. Stew ems made the ascent at 4 o'clock He went up to height of about 1000 feet and then disappeared in southerly di- rection. The balloon passed over Lenox and was seen later from North Otis, which is about twenty miles southeast of Pittsfield.
 As MT. Stevens expected to remain in the air part of the night at least, he took along an unusually large amount of ballast and for that reason was con- pelled to make the ascent alone. Edward c. Peebles was to have ac- companied him if, as had been planned, the balloon had been sent up this morning. The early morning weather conditions made an ascension at that time inadvisable.
 Late tonight the officials of the Aero club received a telephone message from Ndr. Stevens, saying that he had landed at South Sandisfeld, near the Connect icut line, at about o'clock. He was many miles from the nearest telephone, and after getting his balloon in readi- ness for transportation back to Pitts field, he drove across country and mo- tified the Aero club officials here.
 MT. Stevens said that in the darkness he lost his bearings completely and had no idea of his whereabouts, when he succeeded in making a. safe landing. The trip was a comparatively unevent- full one.

WEDDING GUESTS IN PLIGHT
Danbury Party Runs Into Swamp With
 Their Auto.


 Their Auto.
 Danbury, Nov. 2-Eight wedding guests, two young men and six young women, fioundering in mud and water, and an automobile sunk to its body in the mire of a swamp, was the sequel late to-day of the wedding of Miss liar rlet D. Millari, daughter of Thomas c, Millari, president of the Danbury Ma tional bank, and Edward E. Loewe, of this city.
 Following the wedding MT. and Mrs, Loewe started for South Norwalk in an automobile to take a train. After them came three or four other automobiles containing wedding guests. At point about four miles out of the city one of the automobiles owned by Alexander Mclean and containing besides him self one other young man and six young women attempted to pass the car in which were the Loewes. The car, however, containing Mclean and his party slowed and went over the bank at the roadside and into a swamp. The car was running rapidly, but when 1t landed in the swamp stopped abruptly, as it sank up to it's body throwing the occupants out. No one was hurt, and the young men assisted the young women to the roadway, and all were brought back to this city.

WILL OPPOSE KING oF ANNAM.
French Government to Deal With
 Royal Butcher.


 Royal Butcher.
 Paris, Nov 2.--M. Millies-Lacroix of the colonies, has decided to summon the Annam state council and depose King Thanh Thai
 A disptach from Marseilles October 17 said that Thanh-Thai had been ad- judged insane, and that the French au- thorities had made him 8 prisoner. Previously the king had ordered seven of his wives to be executed, and looked on with delight while they were slow ly tortured to death. After killing one of the wives he had the body cooked and served for dinner, forcing the mem bers of his court to eat by threat of death. Some of the kings wives were bound, burned with boiling oil, and subjected to other cruelties, and naked women were thrown into the cages of wild animals, where they were devour- ed in the presence of the king.
 When Thanh Thai was made prison CT by the French authorities they re- leased the terror stricken inmates of the palace. Most of these were wom- en. Some ofthem were terribly mutil- ated, their faces being slashed and their tongues cut out, while others had been suspended by pincers attached to the f1eshy part of thier legs.

TUBERCULoSiS IN NAVY.
Alarming InrOads Despite Measures of
 Medical Officers.

Washington, Nov. 2.--Tuberculosis has made alarming inroads upon the personnel of the navy and marine corps in spite of the measures taken by med ieal officers to check the disease. The annual report of Rear Admiral Rixey, surgeon general of the navy, which was made public to-day, shows that in 1905 the number of tuberculosis cases in the service was PAS, or 61 for every 1000 men. In 1895 the ratio was only S.2 to every 1000; practically all the
