Some dozen of the wealthest Hebrews IN the

practically completed the organization OF an as
sociation Of contributors to the various Hebrew
charitable societies in this city. Officers and a
board OF directors were elected and S10S 600 was
subscribed by those present. with the under
standing that this subscription would be re-
newed each year.
The organization is to be named the Fedora

ficers elected last night were Adoph Lewisohn.
president: DR.. julius Goldman vice-president;
Jacob H. Schiff Isidor Straus and Daniel Gug-

The idea OF forming federation of contbu-
tors TO Jewish charities originated with Pro-
fessor Loeb. Various semi-informal conferences
have been held in the last year 10 discuss the
project, but until last nights meeting nothing
approaching tangible plan had been evolved.
Other meetings will be held soon, at which de-
tails of the permanent organization of the fed
Grafton will be worked out At present, only
general lines have been taken UP.
Contributors, it announced last night
would be received gladly by the federation. and
administered In accordance with the wishes OF
the Siver.
The disposition Of the entire amount could be
left to the discretion Of the directors Of the fed
Grafton, or any specific amounts would be paid
by them to specified institutions and any balance
be put into general fund This general fund
will be distributed among the various societies
as IL IS needed.
The advantage of this clearing house. it was
pointed out, would be a convenience of admins
tration, which would not in the least interfere
with the present administration of the charities.
II Is not the intention of the federation OF the
individual contributors to take away I'm the
least from the present Independence Of the
Hebrew organizations. The suppostion on
which the projectors of this federation are work
ing is that contributors to charity will continue
to give as much to the federation they have
given collectively to their favorite charities in
the past, and, In addition, to that, the amount
they have spent for tickets to balls given by
societies, charity fairs and other money seekins z
arrangements. 1t Is from such amounts and
from contributions without specified allotments
that the federation expects to derive its general
fund.
