burg Herald, the president Of the Coun-
Gil Of Ministers expressed the wish tnat
the Jewish question might be defined as
clearly as possible. This was regarded
by the Department for General Affairs,
which has charge Of Jewish matters, as
an order, and it thereupon commenced
to deal with all the material in it's pos
session. What form the legislation may
take, and what relief will be granted to
the Jews is difficult to say, but there is
reason to believe that the Pale Of Settle
ment will either be entirely abrogated
or considerably enlarged. The Commit
tee of Ministers which has discussed this
question has decided that it is incompe-
tent to deal with it effectively, and con-
sequently proposals will be laid before
the Duma for it's consideration.

The Haham Bashi
and His Functions

The organization of the Jewish COM
munities in the East follows the line of
the other religious communities. They
are not considered as races or different
political nationalities, but are looked
upon as purely religious unities, kept
together by the bond Of faith and united
by one common form Of worship. 1t is
the Mohammedan way Of looking upon
it's own community, independent of the
political status with which other races
government, known also to the Romans,
and in earlier times still, when the High
Priest was trusted with the administra-
tive power and prerogatives, temporal
ruler being out Of the question. The same
holds good now as in early times. The
same high position is assigned also to the
ecclesiastical head Of the Jews in Tur-
key. Not that there is any real concen-
tration of power and responsibility in the
hands of one man, residing in Constan-
tinople; he is only the first among his
peers. He has no right to interfere with
the other ecclesiastical authorities in the
East, and his power is limited to Euro
pean Turkey. There is more than one
Haham Bashi in Turkey. The title is
the old traditional Sephardic FHaham,' -
and has been retained in the East, and
the additional word, "Bashi," means, in
Turkish, "Chief"; just as there is
"Kapegi-Bashi," the chief keeper of the
doors Of the palace, etc. By his position,
a Haham Bashi, who is the chief of his
province or diocese, has legal status
on the bench He is kind Of magistrate,
and can sit in court with the Kadi in
judging cases Of Jewish natives. He is
looked upon as the official representative
of the Jews. Through him the govern
ment communicates it's wishes and de-
crees to the Jews, and to him it looks
for the taxes levied upon the Jews. The
notables are not body recognized by
the government, and no Jewish com
munity as such is legal corporation. All
The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-28

appointment the government retains the
last word.
The influence which the Haham Bashi
can exercise is thus very great, and one
can easily understand how greatly it de-
pends upon the physical and mental
qualifications Of man who wields great
power to do much good, and also much
harm. Personality plays a great role in
the East, and fine physique is often con-
sidered an indispensable condition for
the post, together with good knowledge
Of Arabic or Turkish, and experience in
dealing with the government officials,
which is quite an art in the East.
This explains, to certain extent, why
it comes to pass that the Jews in Euro
pean Turkey have no real Haham Bashi.
The actual holder Of the post, an amiable
gentleman Of timid disposition, is only
the Caimakam,'' or "Vekil''-that is,
the Place-holder' or ''lieutenant, but
not the real titular Of the post. He is a
substitute and not invested with full
powers. 1t is not necessary to enter here
upon details with which others have no
concern, but thus much had to be men
toned, in order to explain the situation
in which the Jews of Turkey find them
selves. Though a persona grata at court,
the communities have not reaped as much
advantage from his holding the post as
they desired, and the helpless condition
of religious and educational institutions
in Turkey, as we'll as communal anarchy
have not been improved.
Almost his equal, or next in rank, is
the Haham Bashi Of Gel Kuds," the
"Holy Town. Jerusalem. He holds
undisputed sway over the whole Of the
Pashalik of Jerusalem, and is looked
upon as the most important holder of
such an office. The profound piety and
dignifed, nay, imposing, appearance of
the late Haham Bashi Eliashar, his un-
failing urbanity and courtesy, his deep
interest in educational work in Jeru-
salem, and his love Of peace and har
mony, greatly contributed to raise the
dignity and Importance of that post, and
to increase the difficulty Of filling it up
satisfactorily. All the above mentioned
conditions have to be kept in view, and
now to them is added the new Zionist
movement, which requires tactful hand
ling. if the incumbent is not to fall be-
tween two stools. by irritating Jewish
circles or by giving umbrage to official
susceptibilities. He must also be man
who understands the needs of the time.
and preserves the same serenity and
open-mindedness which characterized the
late Haham Bashi.-London Jewish

TORNADO STRIKES CIRCUS TENT.
Ringing Bros. Tent Went Down-Two
Killed,


Two persons were killed and
several injured at Aurora, ILL.,; when
an enormous tent at Ringing Bro
thers' circus was blown down during
a severe wind and thunder storm. A
panic followed, in which scores mar
rowly escaped being trampled to
death.
Eighteen elephants, performing in
the arena at the time, were prevented
from stampeding by the prompt action
OF their keepers. The dead are:
Matthew Bury, Aurora, who was
struck by falling tent pole.
William Cress, Danville, Ill.
Cress died from heart failure, due
to the shock Three women are
among those severely injured.
There were 5000 spectators in the
tents at the time of the accident.
When the crash came the performing
elephants had just begun their act
The first gust of wind gave but an in
stant's warning, and the next moment
the center pole supporting the canvas
roof snapped near the top. The au-
dience was composed largely of
women and children. They were un-
able to lift the heavy canvas. Egress
was slow at the regular exits, and it
was in the crush at these points that
many were injured. Rescue work by
the police and fire departments was
under way within 20 minutes.
The storm, which approached the
proportion of a tornado, damaged
many buildings in Aurora and vicinity.
